    Most the guys that work at TC just have there UCA's I'm not sure why maybe they give them those for free but would have to pay for a LT kit

    Most of the time working in a shop isn't the highest paying jobs compared to other industries. So if they have bills or a family then no super built trucks.

    haha! Yes thats a good question. Its cause I did the LT thing on my last truck and truly miss her but I told myself Im not gonna do that to my new to me taco. I enjoy the in cab quiet to much. I do have our ucas and stock lowers with kings all around and will be adding bumps in the rear soon. But to satisfy dirt driving craving I just bought a 88 4runner that im gonna go all out on. :)

    for the memories :(

    How come LT is so squeaky ? Is there any way to prevent that? Or is it inevitable.? Haha I don't want mine to squeak like I've heard on some trucks..

    my uniballs are pretty silent, it's my bushings that squeak, and the fact that everything on my truck is loose

    I need to play with my balls...... err i mean check for play in my uniballs. I spray some white lithiumn grease on em and the squeek starts up again after a day or two. Teflon lining might've gone to shit. ANyways, when i go over a speed bump the whole grocery store parking lot is eyefucking my truck or shaking their heads in disgust.
