// THE END //

No they aren't bushwacker flares, just factory limited flares.

Nice pics as always Brian.

The one time (1999 I believe) that I walking Skull there were a mess of cops on the trail swarming around due to two bodies found nearby. Drug deal gone bad. CSI all over the place. I hate I haven't been back since.

 

[BrianSD_42]

My next stop will be Yosemite for 2.5 days (2 nights) of backpacking.

shhhhwwweeeet!

Nice! Wish i could have been there!! Great pics man!!

Sweet rig man, and nice wheeling/camping spots.

I do have to ask tho.... Why did you decide to go with uni ball UCA

 

[LittleCaesar]

Brian,
If you have never journeyed to Yellowstone, do so one day. When my great grand parents went 90 years ago, both men and women has to know how to change out brake pads on Model Ts and the like. Brakes were much simpler then.

Yosemite should be real fun. I got to meet some of John Muir's offspring my last time there.

 

[BrianSD_42]

Thanks guys.

Well the uni-ball came out of the fact that my wheels were rubbing and I was told it will grant me about .5" extra wheel clearance over the UCA. Plus I wanted to replace them anyways since I was at over 220k on the upper ball joint and bushings.

 

[BrianSD_42]

How r they (UCAs)? Last week I was talking with James about them (owner of the shop)

A bit more than I wanted to spend tho. So let me know how they are?

The UCAs are great so far. The Truck Shop seems pretty willing to match or come close to the price of their competitors so do some shopping and give them a call.

Truck looks really good! Glad you're back on 5-stars.

I actually just spent 3 nights camping in Sequoia National Forest. It was absolutely beautiful out there.

Hey I remember you saying you love the AT2's. Found a decent set of 315s for cheap cheap in Vista, thought you may be interested

So did you recently do UBJ and Bushings too/

 

[BrianSD_42]

Thanks! but my AT2s have < 7500 miles on them AND I'm sticking with 33s for all foreseeable future.

About the UCAs ... It was sold as a whole kit by Built Right. The picture is on the previous page.

 

[A.Wilson013]

Alright, tired of waiting.

Where the hell are the Moab pictures?

 

[BrianSD_42]

Soon lol. I took too many and am hesitant to sort them.

 

[Mahalas]

I was considering the uni-balls but frankly the idea of having an exposed ball joint didn't sit very well with me, something about longevity and salt worried me.
Ended up going with LR uppers, the extra adjustability is nice and from what I read the 3rd gen ones had all the quirks worked out, well see how they hold up.

Here a few .... I am still going through the 600+ pictures I took so more will be coming.

I've been having some issues with random missfires for awhile now.

I just created this thread to document & discuss.
