    No complaints so far. They make doing an alignment yourself pretty easy, got me a little more clearance from the firewall, and will be super easy to swap the ball joint out if/when needed.

    I'm surprised you haven't done UCAs yet. What else are you doing on the front?

    This really isn’t worth the time trying to figure out but, I’ve dedicated this much time so.


    I don’t think you originally cut it like this:

    But I could be wrong

    I am running that combo. I like it a lot. But I do like to go fast once in a while.

    That is a very good price. The Timbrens alone run about $200. Are you currently on the stock hockey pucks? These will be a lot taller and a lot softer.

    Do the plates on that used kit have threaded holes for bolting on the Timbrens?

    Ubolts for a flip:

    That’s weird that it ended up like that, looks like you took an old stone grinder to it

    Ha! Just ordered a set for my mom to put on her Tacoma for when she is pulling her Casita. They look like they will get the job done.

    What did you get? And why 4G for the tablet and not just offline maps? Seems like you may not have reception when you're out anyway...plus you'd need another SIM.

    APRS config (step-by-step) is here: https://adventuretaco.com/where-are-you-adding-aprs-to-the-ham-radio-comms/

    ...and BCN config is here: https://adventuretaco.com/how-to-planning-a-trip-route-part-2-taking-the-gpx-on-the-road/

    Paint?

    And you just need to download the map files for aprs then navigate to them. You can do it by states only or the full country. I did the full country one but it does have the same detail. But never let me down.

    Sure, but where's the fun in that? This was a new experience, and now I know.hiw to do it. Plus, I'll be drilling a couple new holes anyway just to spread the load.

    Did you start by burning a hole through it that you then needed to fill? :p

    I can also vouch for the flammability of nearby factory paint. :bananadead:

    Tubbing. Of the firewall. That's what he means. Not round tubing. Though that would suck too if it were as thin as a body panel. ;)
