    Also finally got around to installing the Energy Suspension body mounts that I have had for a few months. The mounts on the 4R are MUCH larger than those on the taco, so it was not just a plug and play, new mounts had to be fabbed. They came out great though, and will hopefully help to tighten the feeling of the front up.

    Stuff and junk and things...

    Get some 3/4 or 7/8 heater hose split one side and slide over the resi hose and zip tie it on. Cheap and keeps them from getting rubbed through.

    Even that wouldn't fit, literally tenths of mms gap currently. I still need to do some adjusting on the ucas for the alignment and will push the upper arm out a bit to get some more room, might be able to fit some hose over it at that point.

    I am full of shit, this took forever, and ever and ever . . . But truck is all back together for the summer and ready for a beating. Only thing I am not happy with is the skid situation, both the engine and t-case skids are basically sitting on the diff and case, but I am out of fucks to give.

    And here are the final alignment specs, I had to flip the driver side LCA tab to the outside to decrease the caster on that side. I am done messing with it for now, my come back to it and get the camber closer to zero after Moab.

    Basically what I took from that

    Not sure why you'd mess with that alignment.

    Pretty much.

    Maybe just to pull a hair of camber out of the passenger.

    You going to join us this weekend?

    Only carnage from Moab, a ripped limit strap and an exploded superbump.
