@3pooches @the.sight.picture was telling me that you need grease the LCAs every time you go in water. Whats going on with this?

 

Shark Truck ooh ha ha.

 

every time I hear that..

 

Go up to 17s so you can run the real big brakes

Also, could just do 4runner brakes for less money....i can paint the calipers for you

And go TC over DK

 

Hey man, call me crazy but i was just going to make a storm trooper out of it...

 

I think it's so cool you're going LT. Way to commit !

 

i just looked up 17" tires.

315/70/17 Cooper ST Maxx - $315 each
315/75/16 Coo[er ST Maxx - $270 each

I think Im sticking with 16s. Also white F5s 17x9 are $215 each, and I need 5..

Those arms aren't LT though...just better arms. I'm looking at the same DK ones.

 

They are not LT. They are standard width. Too much $

LT will cost *on average* about $5k for the front. Then Id have to do something for the rear. Also, I dont go fast enough to justify LT. Remember I sold my SC

 

Man everyone says that...but we all still go LT at the end of the day.

Cool thing is you never have to paint your glass.

 

I put the DK ones up there to compare prices. From my little research the DK and TC race ones are the ones to get. The TC standard will actually lower ground clearance with those lower uniball billet things.

But I already have TC UCAs. Might as well match. $300 more than DK. Can I paint the DKs silver?

 

Oh. Oh my. I didn't know that

Control arms are a sensitive subject for me right now. I've got a mystery noise. Maybe it'll end up being the cab mount and I'll *cough* have to relocate it.

 

Where is mystery noise? What does it sound like?

 

Luckily it's a creak. Front driver. I can provoke it with a well metered breaking. Going to clean everything real good and check the bushings. Hit them with some grease , re twerk. I don't think it's the BJ. Hope not.
I have been doing a fair amount of rally trucking though so..

 

LT would be nice....but i want to be done and start on the runner build..

but i agree on your sos wish list

 

everytime i have a front squeak, its time to clean the uniballs and lube em
