Great video mate. Thanks for sharing. Quick question: is the new delta joint doing well? With you alignment, would you mind letting me know what camber are you getting? It might sound to me it would be very positive with the front camber bolt maxed out to the outside... I have just got some new delta joints to replace my current uniball ones on the icon billet UCA... Thanks

Thanks mate. I have a good shop which will align it based on my request. I am just working out what I want to compromise more, caster or camber. I am currently with -0°18' camber both sides which is what I wanted but lost a bit of caster. Caster is now about +3°50' and +3°00'...

Why aren't your video views increasing? And not reaching people? The reason is: 1. Your video is not being SEO properly 2. Your video is not reaching the right people 3. Not using video hash tags properly 4. Not sharing the video on social media There are a few more reasons. That's why your videos are limited to your channel.

In this particular spot you will more than likely drag. I am running 35s on 3.5" lift. Can always stack rocks if need be. Alot of tacomas got hung up in this spot. There are other trails at Hidden Falls that will not cause much trouble. Sliders are also a good idea if you do not already have them.

I now have a 35 in there but it is a bit of a job getting out. Literally has to come out through the back seat. If I didn't have the platform all the way under the tire it would more than likely come out, but that is part of securing the box.

I just bought a Tundra with a stage 5 tubular on it already. How often do you grease the fittings? Do you loosen the bushing bolt before applying grease there?
@mbtravelandadventure4 ай бұрын
I used to. I believe it is the preferred method for uca bushings. Just make sure to torque the bolt when done. I have slacked a bit lately on loosening the bolt. The problem is that the bushing does not have any type of relief for the grease. It will eventually deform the bushings. I have found that the balljoint will also not take grease well at times, and I just jack the vehicle up and take weight off the balljoint and / or turn the wheels one way or another. I should also note that if you happen to loosen the uca bolt with the weight off or vehicle jacked up, make sure to torque with the weight on the vehicle. Just good practice.

They do not squeek. I will say that I did have squeeking problems earlier on, and I had upper control arms of multiple times. The squeek turned out to be wiper seals on the shocks and not related to the uca at all. Overall they have done well. I did not necessarily need to do the bushing and delta joint replacement.
