    SuperPro LCA

    I just did mine here in COa couple months ago with JBA UCAs. I had about 3 inches of lift before and it almost seemed the SuperPro with caster increased the lift. I'm trying to picture the caster from both doing that. I took out the spacers that the previous owner installed and it sits better...

    Need Help Identifying UCAs

    Well, I think I figured it out for myself. They appear to be Tuff Country UCAs. This is unfortunate, as I have read in this thread that they are less than desirable: Tuff Country Ball Joint UCA Review (Updated w/ specs vs JBA and OEM) I'm guessing that the ripped boots are due to the...

    Need Help Identifying UCAs

    Previous owner installed these and UBJs are ripped due to springs that were too strong (886 on v8 4th gen with stock bumper and no winch). Soooo, anyway, hopefully we can identify them and I can pick up new parts. Help is appreciated!

    Bye bye front muffler!

    Figured I would try a straight pipe before buying an expensive muffler. I left the rear resonator. BEST $17 I'VE EVER SPENT! Yes, I have a MIG welder. I'm sure a shop would have charged me at least $50 It's not really that loud, actually sounds fantastic! Not clapped out, no drone. If you're...

    My New 03 4th Gen V8

    Not on mine. The Texas blast furnace is much tougher on paint than North Carolina. It does have some bumps and scrapes as well as a lift gate that's starting to rust. I'll eventually replace it and shoot the truck myself.

    My New 03 4th Gen V8

    Definitely with the washing! Frame and underbody have been heavily painted to seal out the salt. No worries with the snow. Only have to go out for groceries for the week. I learned how to drive in this stuff in a 79 Cutlass. 4WD is too easy!

    Need Help Buying a V8 4th Gen

    Tell me about it... I'm a car nut. It's criminal what the salt does to them. I'm also done with the winters here. More thaw than freeze; lots of mud and low 30s. Thanks! Guaranteed that I'll protect the undercarriage and do what I can to slow the damage! I've flown for two vehicles so far...

    Because you can't get transport tags for a private sale.

    Need Help Buying a V8 4th Gen

    Yeah, I figured as much. I figured being on the forum for a couple of years would make a difference. Guess not. I send funds, you take possession of truck and title, send title and NY tax forms to me. I title and register and get plates and fly down. We have beers, I say thanks, post pics on...

    Need Help Buying a V8 4th Gen

    I'm looking for a 4th Gen that is rust free up top and underneath. I'm looking in the south and southwest. Any T4R brothers/sisters willing to help check out trucks? Also possibly looking for someone to handle the transaction for a private sale. I know it's a bit nutty, but I trust folks here...

    Sport Edition Brakes vs. Tundra Brake (Upgrade)

    Thanks so much for this. Used this exactly as my shopping list. Base 2002 with 270K went from 15 inch brakes to these 231s. What a huge difference. Only had to grind the corners off the dust shield and bend it away from the rotor. One of the easiest upgrades I've done. Oh, and I'm running 4th...
