    I'm on my 4th trip. First time they installed the UCAs wrong, 2nd time they didn't give enough caster, 3rd time they tried to charge me 130 bucks because it was "aftermarket parts", and now here I am waiting, praying they get it right this time

    I need to get mine aligned, now that I installed mine.

    If anyone cuts their bolts or plans to cut them, I have a spare set, let me know, would be willing to sell them to you.

    Would have done that now, but before I figured I get about 500 bucks a day to work the weekend so I figured I would work and make more then a professional would charge to do it. But now I wish I did it myself because I will from now on

    5100's front and rear, front 2.5" rear 2" AAL, 18% tint front and rear, color matched grill. SCS wheels 275/70/17 BFG AT KO's. DTRL toggle switch.
    I really had to bend the $h!t out of my inner fender to get the bolts out. Hindsight being 20/20 I would have probably just purchased the bolts. I really mangled the metal on the passenger side but you really cant see it because its behind the splash-guard. I had to pay $160 to get it aligned at 4-wheel because no one else that charges $60 would do it.

    It sure drives great. People that do not have UCA's and think their trucks drive well dont know how well they could drive.

    LC UCA installed. Brought it to my usuall tire and alignment shop today. Alignment completed within 30 minutes $39.99 later caster at 2.8, toe at 0.0 and camber at 0.3. Guess camber could have been set at 0.

    I just had mine done about 1 hour ago. Set at neutral (+2) as OZ-T indicated. I installed my own, I measured the edge of tire to inside the wheel well for a reference to adjust the camber once finished. Starting measurement were 3.5 and 3.8 for caster, 0.3 for camber and toe about -0.9 each. Using the Tacoma only caster and camber adjustements we had no issue adjusting tha caster anywhere from 2.0 to 4.0 if desired. Finished at 2.8 for caster, adjuste toe at 0 and camber at .3, could have easely set it at zero. I watched him do it and it was very simple. 30 minutes max and we chatted quite a bit while doing it.
