I am going to insert my 2 cents. I purchased the desert products/DSM UCA's fir 2 reasons. 1 they are boxed construction and burley and 2 they run the 1" Uni-ball which is easier to find than 1.25" uni-ball of some UCA's. You just never know when you will need a replacement.

Nothing but good things to say about these UCAs.

These?
Desert Products Uni-Ball Upper Control Arms

With 3 people in a row saying the same thing these will be the ones I choose. I'm surprised because I was expecting someone to say camburg or total chaos.
Thanks!

Yep. You'll like them. Well constructed and have great alignment built in if you're lifted. My camber and caster were in spec after a complete suspension swap. Just had the toe adjusted.

Yep. Them are the ones.

We will induct you into the DSM UCA cult once we have proof of install. :nod:

Sounds good to me! And sorry to get off topic but what kind of uniball uca's do you have. I'm in the market for some to get a better alignment

I am running light racing UCAs and have had no problems with them so far but many say they aren't all that great. I'd like to get icon or total chaos UCAs in the future

So the 4runner had a littl hiatus this month. Ended up needing a new pump in the master cylinder so I replaced the whole assembly.

All is good for now!

Today I picked up a little 20" single row light bar from my friend for about $75.
Looks good with the satoshi and is a damn sight brighter than the old KCs I had on before.

looks 100x better without the spots.

Really dig the runner, mine has been lifted since I was 17 too but it's gotten a little bigger since then. Now considering getting a bumper..

Thanks! Bumpers make a hell of a difference

Decided to give the suspension a workout.

Just curious, how exactly do you use image shack to get photos on the forum? Can't get it to work for me.

kinda complicated, i just attach photos with the tool on here. and i mounted my back packs by drilling hooks in my roof, they just clip on via carabiner.
