    Well...pretty self explanatory. I upgraded to 5100s, AAL, and OME 888s. The 5100s set at their lowest setting. The alignment was a breeze, I didnt need UCAs to get back to factory specs. I drove it from the RGV to SA last night, no problems. During the week I hit some mud, no problems. Then today I made a turn unto a sloped street doing 15-20mph and heard a scraping noise. I had made that same turn while I was stock, in a rover, and in an X5 and never heard any scraping so I knew I wasnt scraping the skid. My mind went straight to the UCAs. Sure enough I took a look and there was a tiny line. I touched it and its a tiny hairline groove. Im going to be replacing them soon. Im going with JBAs for lifted toyotas since they seem to be the least maintenance/longest lasting ones. I hate the though of having to replace bushings and uniballs and idk what else every 20K miles aka atleast once a year for me.

    Heres a pic of said scratch

    On a happier note heres a pic of my pet squirrel Jerry. Jerry likes to eat the corn/seeds I leave out for him.
