Tacoma Light Racing UCA's Group Buy - Metal Tech 4x4

Just ordered mine. Thanks

 

Any idea when shipping will happen? Mark verified my payment but I haven't received any official MT invoice or notification yet.

Thanks.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I checked my credit card on line and they still haven't charged me for the arms. Hopefully they'll be on the way soon.

 

SOOO WOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP!!! Woke up and found mine at the door this morning. :]

 

THANK YOU! I GOT MINE TODAY!

 

Just Placed my order in today. Can't wait to get them. Thanks

 

got mine yesterday, and got them installed last night. damn those old upper control arm bushing are a biatch to get out, i had to make a little press type deal to get them out.

off to alignment tommaro at 1. should be right on the money, i hope.

 

i mean my upper ball joints out of the spindle. not the arm bushings lol! my bad

 

got mine installed too and aligned. after i showed the tech how to adjust 'em, they were able to get it dialed right in!

those ball joints were a huge pain in the ass though. i "rented" a huge ball joint press and 2/3 2-ton gear puller and a pickle fork from my local o'reilly's (schucks) for free (had to put down a deposit, but i got 'em for 48 hours basically free). there's no way i would have been able to do this job without those!

 

Same here. Worst experience ever but totally worth it, thanks metal-tech

 

i decided i needed something to get it off after i took my truck apart, so heres my little tool i made for it lol. Instead of puttin it back together and runnin down to the auto store. work pretty good just put the imact gun on it and hammered down, but could of used another strap on the one side to keep from bending at all. maybe ill make another so ill have a handy tool around.

 

You sir should patent that lol

 

lol

 

looks like this would get the job done

i ran into clearance issues with the ball joint press i rented from schucks, so i had to improvise a bit and ended up using a "superbar" as the bottom plate to hold the lower cup. i couldn't fit the standard tool bottom part in as the ball joint is too close to the spindle arm. it ended up working, but not without a lot of frustration!

 

A BFH works just fine. Just got to make sure you don't hit the rubber on the ball joint.

 

Installed some the other day and i love them. Got my alignment right where i wanted it!

 

install wasn't a problem -- it was a disassembly that was the issue. my truck is rusty like crazy so working on anything down there is a big pain.

 

I feel your pain. Here in the land of salt and snow we have the same problem. At least this time I have a new truck to work on.

 

I'm IN!!!! Called Metaltech, and they will get back to me with shipping quotes!
