    YAY!!! Here is my truck getting the brake fluid replaced. They feel like they're a bit more responsive on the "upper" end now. :thumbsup: The mechanic was AWESOME, but the salesman a bonehead!!! :facepalm::frusty: I told the salesman to tell the mechanic to do a paper TEST... "oh, okay, I'll even walk you out there..." DUMBA$$ didn't even tell the mechanic and by the time all said and done, the mechanic had already put a little bit, not alot, but a little bit of new fluid in just before he started!!! :eek:o_O:frusty: Talking to the mechanic some more, he was willing to bet that the color would have been a little more in the "darker region". Either way, I'm glad I got it done anyways, because the fluid was "stressed already" and even more so. So, I just decided to change it anyways because of that. So, next topic, LOL, he did a TEST on my battery that is rated for 650CCA and is only doing about 248CCA's, LOL, and it is time for my batt to get changed and I told him that was next on my list anyways, LOL!!! VERY COOL and AWESOME DUDE for sure!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers:

    Well, later people and can't wait to be back on tonight to see how many pages I fell behind on, LOL!!! Off to my sisters and the starting of the miserable traffic ahead, LOL!!! LMAO, I'll be truly TESTING my brakes now, LOL!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I'm pumped! Just hoping a co worker of mine can help me put them on and do the gear swap. I got the 4.88s and with the new coil overs it should be a fun little truck to get in the dirt with

    If you're trying to save money on UCAs get SPC Light Racing UCAs. That's what I went with for my setup. I'll upgrade eventually but for now they'll work fine. Gotta get armor first

    Total chaos is also a great choice for upper control arms

    If you're gonna push the truck go camburg, icon, total chaos, or DK. The adjustable caster on spc's is cool, but the also seem to have a lot more warranty claims. They are good about taking care of it, but you gotta have your receipt, and you'll still be stuck footing the bill for labor and a new alignment. With that being said lots of people have had zero problems with the light racing control arms including sandtaco, especially since they revised their design. Another set of arms to take a serious look at is camburgs ball joint uca's

    I've heard a lot of good things about JBA UCAs as well. For being a completely replaceable ball joint with good articulation and castor, I don't see how you could go wrong for the price point. Those were the pair I would buy, if I wasn't going long travel.
