UCAs are mainly for getting the front geometry and alignment back into factory spec once you lift the front. I'm not sure what the amount of lift is where it's "required" but I've used my OEM ones on 2 cars with cranked torsion bars to match lifted rear springs. My only issue was a little more...

sorry I never saw this! I measured 22" hub to fender in the rear. Rear seats are removed and I have a drawer setup back there that's probably ~100 lbs

man that was a rollercoaster. Did you solve this while you were in the middle of creating the thread?? Congrats on getting it figured out.

do you have the matching spare wheel?

I'm actually picking it up Thursday, so I would LOVE to free up some driveway space. :cool:

can you post a video of the sound? have you tried popping off the trim that includes the center vents to make sure there isn't something physically obstructing the air flow and maybe making it whistle?

what are your goals with this vehicle? If you're looking to do the Rubicon then sure go 35"+ but that's going to arguably affect driving and braking performance more than weight. 33" - 34" make these vehicles incredibly capable as long as you don't need to rock crawl too much. If you do want to...

+1 on drive flanges. Often the flange is worn out so it doesn't match the splines on the axle. Thus slop and clunk.

Labor Day weekend bump. Reduced to $31,000. Open to reasonable offers. I found my 200 series so I would love to free up some garage space. Oh and here is the factory no-nav stereo that comes with the Cruiser in case anyone wanted to ditch the aftermarket screen and revert it to stock:

Nice! It's nice they make them in +25 offset which I think is perfect for the 100 series chassis.

The short answer is I have a bad case of car ADD The long answer is that being in the Bay Area, 99% of the trails I go to require a lot of pavement pounding - most of which is up steep grades at altitude (Highway 80). The LC with VVT-i is a lot better than my old '00 and '03, but the power bump...

Yea I'm not really sure why Puerto Rico got this oddball combination, but it's pretty great not having to bother with the integrated nav. And the bonus of being able to install a more modern screen or head unit. I think I've only ever seen one other on Mud like this. It's one of the big things...

In an unexpected twist I once again have car ADD and I'm getting the itch for a 200 series. Thus, this cruiser is for sale - here's the link
