T4R is down! T4R Check In Here

Trying to decide if I want to just go all out and pick up some Camburg UCA's. I really shouldn't spend the money, but they are cheap and I would love the extra travel and caster.

 

As long as you don't turn around and sell them

 

do it. I sometimes wish i did.

-Still need to swap out these bushings. Sounded like a 1960 wooden toy car this weekend in the parking garage. Was mucho embarrassed.

 

Everything is for sale for the right pirce...haha

That's why I'm hesitant. I really don't want to squeek all over the place a that would drive me crazy. Might hold out an get some light racing as they are a lot less maintenance and more adjustability. Plus th LR are about $80 more but I won't have to get new uniballs eventually.

 

mine are LR FYI. i have the previous bushings so im really hoping thats why its squeaking.

 

My TC arms haven't squeaked at all. Greasing the bushings and spraying teflon doesn't take all that long either. Course, finding a non leaky grease gun will be a bit tricky.

 

hey guys, I am looking at getting new coils/lift, wet okoles, or a 42"light bar.
Lift: I already have billies on all 4 corners with a spacer lift. The shocks have less than 10K miles on them, assuming they were replaced right before they guy traded the truck in. They looked brand new when I bought the truck, still shiny and felt smooth. LOL. I am looking at basically eibach coils that will provide 1.6" of lift and the superflex rear coils from toytec. Is the panhard bard required for this amount of lift? It is basically the toytec ultimate lift, which provides up to 3" of lift. The only thing I am not getting is a diff drop kit, and sway bar relocates. Am I missing anything? I know I am going to need spanner wrenches to adjust the 5100's in the front. Do I NEED UCA's right now or can that wait?

Wet okoles: who has these and will you feel the seat warmers with them on? I only ask because my wife likes to use the seat warmer. She likes her buns toasty! How well do they hold up to dogs? I just rescued a lab mix and I think he is going to be a good size. He is a year old and his head comes up to my knees. (I am 6'0" tall) How well will they hold up to the mud and dirt from his paws from getting in and out of the truck while on trails?

Light bar: I don't have any knowledge on these things. It is an outdoor life 42" combo led bar. I will mount it in front of the roof rack. Will it complicate things, how hard is it to mount there, without a basket, and how would I run the wiring?

 

light bar

You can get one for 150 on ebay. Its not super easy to mount, but there are a few ways. I like mine best.

I like my leather seats

I have the same lift, springs ride really nicely. I have a 2" spacer on DS for lean, sits really nicely. I got at least 3.5" in front over where I was. I might bumpt he billies up after I talk to TT when my bumper comes, or, at the least get a 1/2" spacer

 

ETA since post count doesnt matter here

you dont need a spanner, the 5100s dont have adjustable collars

you dont NEED ucas but i'd get them soon your caster will be low

you dont need panhard mods, my rear axle still looks perfectly centered

 

I LIKE my leather seats too but I don't want the dog to mess them up! lol That's why I would get the wet okoles. I was going to mount it in that EXACT spot that you have Zak. How hard was that to do? Would I need custom brackets or do they sell them. Also, are you running 285's?

 

They're 265/75 duratracs.

I have a write up on t4r:

It wasnt that bad, but the brackets are kind of a pain to make - im thinking about starting to sell them, but i dont know if they would fit with other light bars. Cost me 10 bucks to make them in materials.

 

thats a great write up. If you do make some to sell, I would be interested if i get the bar! It would be mainly for looks right now because I don't drive much at night and hardly do any night wheeling. There are those occasional summer nights of driving around at night though

 

i use it all the time on dark roads. or when some a hole cuts me off. i got to drive with all my aux lights on through NC... thats where that pic was, for like 100 miles. it was the darkest darkness i have ever seen

 

i used mine this past weekend in the parking garage. Made people stare like :datass:.

In my head it took away from my squeaky front end.

 

If it makes yall feel better I have had ICON UCA's sitting in my garage for about 6+ months now lol..

 

T4R is really good at not working.

 

You can send those back to me because of neglect. They will be well loved with me...haha quit getting engaged and stop ignoring your true #1!

 

I swear that is a crime or something

 

Lol, well I had to wait to get the other parts for them. Finally got them after putting off buying them for a while. I guess the main reason I haven't put them on yet is cus I want to replace my steering rack at the same time (which I'm dreading). That and I'd like to get some limit straps so I don't go over extending stuff.

 

holy shitttttttttttt
