NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I was a light sleeper to start with. Too many things from overseas have me hearing everything. I was always up with Levi... And I assume it won't be anything different with Lyam.

 

Anybody in ferndale, Bellingham, areas that has a rv spot for rent with full hook ups? Month or two.

 

Anybody have a warn 10 winch? Not sure where to mount the control module and doesn't really seem like there would be room behind the grill unless I only bolt half of the bracket down.

 

That's fair.

Dirt King's site does say they add in caster now, not sure if they always have.

I am also highly considering Camburg. I've read in a few places that their larger uniball and "design" increases travel. I am not sure how much that will matter for me since I'll just be running BP-51s.

 

What ever increase (if any) is probably very minimal.. I've heard a lot of good things about dirt king though

 

Got everything mounted at least.

 

What bumper is that

 

Pelfreybilt.

 

Ok I have a problem. I'm rubbing when I hit bumps (obviously the added 150lbs) but I can't adjust my coilovers because they are ceased up and feel like I'm gonna start bulging or breaking the adjustment holes. Anyone have any solutions or ideas besides wd40 and a wire brush?

 

Hey I'm also in the market for UCA's. I'd like to go through Headstrong off road based on referrals. It's my daily driver but ill be taking the off-roading trips of course. Light Racing ball joint uca's are 435.00 and TC uniball ucas $679.99. Is it really worth the extra 200+ for uniball for slight more articulation but more maintenance? Are there other better option?

 

Dont use a wite brush you can damage ur threads on the coil over body. Jack the front up and drop your wheel so its fully extended and takes compression off spring. If you cant break it loose with the spanner wrench i suggest unmounting the coil over and putting it in the vice. You dont want to break anything, depending on what brand you are using getting parts is a bitch. Uh hum...Fox

 

Well luckily I have found a brush yet. Icons

 

I just instalked LR UCAs and i am happy. I offroad like you and like it was stated before, how often do you see uca's break? Us i just found out SPC is carried by les schwab so parts are readily available. I wouldnt do the more expensive UCAs unless you go bigger than a 33" tire

 

Just to cover all bases... The tires are off the ground and you unscrewed the alan screw on the collar right? If so then just use a spanner wrench and push/pull. They are brand new they should move easily

 

There is a thread here about these: http://jbaoffroad.com/toyota/tacoma...r-upper-a-arms-for-2005-14-toyota-tacoma.html

They should give you the articulation of the TCs without the maintenance.

Thanks. No I won't go bigger than 33. Appreciate it

 

Jesus i cant spell tonight

 

Yes. Uniballs are much stronger

 

Yes off the ground and set screw is backed out. I'll keep working them

 

Wheels off the ground, everything loose, and some kind of wd40 won't hurt. If it feels like you're gonna break or strip something, take it out and take a spring compressor to it. And the wire brush thing, if you do don't use a steel brush. Brass won't fuck up the aluminum.
