Is there an easy way to check if UBJ are good?

Someone told me prybar under the tire just like UBJ

 

I just try to pry it up and down, it doesn't have any load on it even when on the ground really.

 

P

Perfect, thanks.

The LBJ sees most of the load. It's pretty normal for LBJ to be fucked but have UBJ be good, right?

 

I can't fault that line of thinking. The shortbus is a bad ass bumper. Reminds me, I was at a Cruise Moab event years back and Slee was debuting the Blueberry bumper for the 100 series and everyone was drooling, he might've even had the SAS done on it too then. Been too long. Slee makes awesome stuff.

 

Yeah unless the boots rip they last a lot longer

 

boots have been ripped for the 6 years I've owned the truck but they've stayed tight

 

I would think so


If I was in the market for a family friendly truck I would be very interested at that price. Alas, I have no need lmao



My dad is looking for a DC tacoma but wants something clean, low mileage, maint history, stock, .enough cupholders, below KBB ... etc Listening to my parents' car shopping """"Woes"""" is insane lmao

 

Mine went on my last trip, boots ripped, they started sqeualing and now they click just a bit. Just gonna put some SPC on it since they're cheap.

 

I think we have a tire issue

 

I was thinking about JBAs but the SPCs are solid for the price. I could drop $200 on toyota UBJ or go with the SPC for not much more.

@Winkle99 showed me how well his travel and I am SOLD!

 

Just a heads up, not all but most ACDelco suspension parts for Japanese vehicles are 555 (Sankei Japan) reboxed... So for even less you could get the same parts...

Just look at the pics to find the 555 stamps

 

Wellll shiiit. Maybe I should order these too... getting UCAs so I can align my truck and """"go back to daily driving it"""" sounds appealing though

 

"""""""""restore"""""""""


ok, grandpa @BartMaster1234

 

A restored flood car, well as long as it's worth something to you

 

I can see the CL ad now:


"""""

CLEAN tacoma
NO accidents
CLEAN TITLE
KEPT IN THE FAMILY


"""""

 

There are some Taiwan 555's so be careful going this route.

 

It's all the same shit, different toilet.

 

You haven't given it enough time haha. Flood cars are like the chronic illness, sometimes it subsides, but something from the issue always pops up again. Usually electrical, but since you have an auto and auto clutches absolutely hate water I wouldn't doubt that could go any moment either

 

All of them are marked luckily

 

You are no different from the people who sold me a totalled and rebuilt truck with a clean title and said no accidents
