    My UCAs arrived in only 3 days, packaged extremely well, and they look very solid. The bushings are pre installed, the instructions and new washers are packed securely in a separate bag. I'm excited to install them this weekend.

    @Blackout14 Do you still have a direct line to the owner? My UCA's are stuck in shipping because some paperwork is missing. Could you ask him to look into it? I'll PM you the order number if that would help.

    Nevermind, looks like he fixed it yesterday late in the day after I messaged him on his site. He never sent me a message to let me know it was fixed but the FedEx tracking is reporting my UCA's are on the move again.

    When you import something into Canada that you made you have to fill out a declaration. It looks like he forgot to do that this time around even though I know he has shipped a few pairs up here.

    Got my JBA's installed yesterday, along with all of the other goodies.

    It was a long day, but comparing these to my friend's TC which we re-installed on his truck last weekend, I'm really happy with these JBA's and still believe they're the best value out there.

    Can anyone suggest a grease to use with the JBA UCA’s? I looked on the website and couldn’t find anything

    Quick question for you guys that just got yours. I got mine today and the sticker on the box said they were for 96-04 Tacoma but my order says 05+ Tacoma and that's what I ordered. Already sent an email to confirm they are the correct ones but wanted to see if you guys had the same issue. Other than that I'm really excited and can't wait to get them in!
