Thanks, so position D. Did you max out the lower cam bolts?

 

The rear ones I have maxed out, front is set to move wheel forward (in) and keep it in specs as close as possible

 

Thanks, I don't think 35's are in my future.

I just want to get the alignment close enough to drive to the shop to have a professional do it right.

 

ah yes, this looks familiar

 

Just tell the alignment tech to give you as much caster as possible. I had about 4 degrees (forget if it’s positive or negative caster). Want to move the wheel forward.

@norlisk is running close to 5 degrees with his camburg and I had 4 with my spc.

 

Rear end refresh day!

Just 5ft bed things

 

yeah 4degrees is what i got as welll


Just tell the tech that the ball joint is ajustable

 

I know...mine showed up 4 days early...got the same as your main shifter...the kid got the Daytona for his Jetta...thing is 2lbs!!!

 

What an amazing upgrade!@

I never realized that I was always reaching for the shifter. When I wheel I never leave it in D. I am always choosing and changing gears.

This new one, sits at the exact height and placement I have always needed!

It felt so good to use it to day. Unbelievable upgrade tbh.

 

the shifters are brutal to try and fit. Why I had to make it all skinny ones. The round ones that come with the shifter feel good but so hard to fit. I had clearance issues between the shifters and between the gear shifter too.

 

I have some questions about the Wanapitei Lake trip in August:
Can I bring a dog? (They are a husky)
Can I bring two friends with me that are not part of TEC?
If so, do they have to ride in the truck with me to go there or can they come in their own vehicle? (They have a Toyota Rav4)

 

A good tech will utilize it. A not-so-good tech will follow the on-screen prompts on the alignment computer and ignore the ball joint.

Check for ball joint contact with the coil at full droop. This was mine after a shop alignment:

 

Ran some errands today and bought the front diff drain plug with external hex, in-stock at the Lexus dealer parts counter for $18, made in Japan:

 

Hey! Dogs are welcome! I bring mine. Just let us know in the thread (i think we still need to make one but I’ll post the link in the calendar). Everyone is welcomed. We just like to have an idea of numbers to when can plan for camp spots or know ahead of time to make groups.

 

Well, I installed my UCA's today. I used position D as a starting point. I have the alignment square enough to get to a shop for a proper alignment. Hopefully I can get it done Mon. or Tues.

 

Now I have to go back out and jack up the truck just to check if I did the same? I never even thought to check it after.

 

Now you sit with the cool kids in the sandbox. Lift the rear and you get a cookie

 

It's coming. I hope to get the Add a Leaf soon. I might need new springs for my coilovers too. I was bouncing way too much at Ardbeg. When I would come down off a rock the front seemed to compress too much.

 

Heya! Noticed theres no Minden run on the calendar. Is that not a thing this year?
