    The caster number will be way off if they're trying to reach factory numbers. I think my TC paperwork said between 3.5 and 7 was acceptable. That being said, I prefer the TC over the Camburgs as the larger uni-ball contacts the coil if droop is greater than stock (extended travel CO). That was my only reason for going TC

    That I haven’t seen. Interesting.

    To the OP: if your UCAs aren’t hitting the coils I’d consider two things:
    1. A second opinion on the alignment. You should post your alignment sheet to compare with others. What are the chances that shop sells Total Chaos?

    2. Rebuild your current UCAs and keep a few hundo in your wallet.

    Just look at the build thread
    The Camburgs are rebuilt. And I 100% trust the shop. Theyre not just trying to sell me UCAs. The guy has done hundreds of these installs and knows his shit. He said something about the Camburgs doesn't seem right with other installs hes done. Think maybe it has to do with them being older. Maybe a different design?. I'm just going to replace them. It wont hurt my feelings. They'll just match my future LCAs lol. Probably wait until the spring to get the TCs though. Looking to buy a house soon so no big purchases until that is done.

    Looks great! It's good to know others are rocking the GX! :cheers:

    I swapped out my '09 Tacoma for an '08 in January. Picked it up with 50k on the odo. Everything's still stock, but sliders are coming soon.

    Ordered new center caps and black lug nuts for the wheels. Gonna go see if I can find somewhere to have the wheels put on today. Then I'll swap the lugs and center caps when they get here. Gonna put the skid on today as well and sliders should be going on this weekend when I have some hands to help. They are BEEFY and HEAVY!

    I've had 265/70/17 KO2s since right after I bought the GX. I'm keeping then since they still have plenty of life left. When they wear out I may replace with STT Pros but not sure yet. It'll be at least a year before I change the tires.
