Great trip! I finally pulled my pictures together. Was kind of grey and overcast so I didn't take many landscapes worth posting, but got some other interesting pics.
An off-center steering wheel is one of those little OCD things for me. If you have this problem, read on:
1) the following assumes you have a correct alignment and stock steering. If your truck is pulling to one side, wobbling, tramlining, or...
If you want to convoy over, meet at the Divide Philips 66 at 6:45 am. We leave as soon as we account for the people that signed up (NLT 7:15). Formal meetup is in Johnson Village at the Gunsmoke parking lot at 8:30 am. I plan to meet at the...
I plan to run Williams pass, visit the Alpine tunnel historical site, and return on Hancock pass on September 6. Please post up if you would like to join this trip. Details such as the meet up time will be posted later.
Id put whiteline bushings on if you have no intentions of replacing the rack. I had bad bushings and went ahead and got a whole new rack since mine had some small leaks and I don't intend on ever selling it so why not just do the refresh. Id also...
I'm going to follow this thread. I think that you've asked very good questions. Doesn't the charcoal canister have a connection to the vacuum system? I don't have my service manual so I can't look at the fuel system diagram. If pressure is...
Three trucks showed up: Maldavid, EricG, and me (with Goslow as a passenger). The trail was mostly as I remembered it, though much less severe than it seemed when I was on one of my first-ever offroad rides back in 2022. We stopped to look at...

The Old Man Emu offerings (UCA00010) are much newer than this thread, they only started offering them for the 100/470 in late 2023 if my memory serves me. We have sold and installed dozens of sets of them @ Cruiser Outfitters, we keep them on the...
That is the exact kit that I have and used for my upper and lower ball joints. When replacing either, it’s a good idea to pull the dust boot and replace after installation. This will also allow you to press on the lip of the ball joint better, as...
Short answer is that I wheel really hard.
I push my 100 to the limit and carry spare SPC UBJs at all times. I replace them when they start squeaking as that generally correlates to a small amount of play developing…
Patch is referring to replacing an SPC-specific upper ball joint. SPC uses a large nut instead of a pressed-style ball joint, making it much easier to remove without needing a special press kit. I use the same one, and it takes about 10 minutes...
Thank you for a most informative post. I’ve had an ‘01 LX 470 for 3 1/2 years and it is my first IFS truck. I’ve wheeled with live axle trucks for 40 years and I have a lot to learn about IFS. So here’s my dumb sounding question.
Why would a UCA...
I can meet yall around 8ish at the Exxon in Fairplay. I'm excited. This will be my first group cruiser ride. Just gotta replace both CV axles before then but no biggie.
