    They are all high caster now. But I think he may have some of the originals laying around from what I gather.
    The current production choices now are high caster standard, or high caster HD, which is bigger tube and gussets.

    Did you get the HDs or regular?

    Also curious why these were your pick over the other mainstream UCAs. I know how you tend to operate in regards to parts and pieces so quite interested in what led you to JBAs.

    I think that term nails it right there. Lots of people just throwing money at stuff without thinking too hard about it because shiny and cool kids in my opinion. I'm questioning every decision I make.

    Regular.
    Needed for extended travel clearance

    Pros:
    Sufficient to meet my intended use (does not include hucking at Pismo)
    Sounder design than Light Racing
    Proven success in application to other brand vehicles.
    Has advanced past new-product teething problems specific to the Tacoma, which appear to have been exclusively regarding the amount of built-in caster, not the actual real world integrity or durability of the structure and design.
    Steadily gaining reliable reputation and customer satisfaction among Tacoma owners, including with a King ET setup.
    Don't want the squeak and maintenance headache of uniballs
    About 2/3 the cost of uniballs
    Common ball joint part easily sourced and replaced if needed regardless of my location and circumstance
    Lifetime warranty.
    Very responsive to questions about providing them to me not directly off the shelf.

    Cons:
    Red

    Potential, readily available, and economically viable mitigation measures to address redness:
    Paint

    Watched it with my dad when I was a kid.

    Not as cerebral or bizarre as MPFC, but quality slapstick and pratfalls.

    And, my dad always laughed a the little old man, who reminded him of his dad.

    Nope. Sliders more likely. Because LB and because full Prinsu access.

    I won't get bumpers till they cause a problem or get damaged. Then I am looking at Bruteforce. For the rear at least. But that is a long way off.

    Suspension needs to be done. Now. Trying so hard to not get distracted. So hard.

    Vyvanse is good for that.

    I'm exited to see your truck when everything is installed. This is one of my favorite builds because it's well researched and planned.

    Or maybe it's because you have a potty mouth.

    Or both. Shrug.

    Regarding the supercharger, what did you decide to do about fuel delivery? I apologize; I think I asked and you already told me, but I have forgotten.
