What's going on here, I asked first...;) If everyone is giving away stock sets of UCAs send me a set and I'll sleeve my own. :idea:

Then just sleeve the once you have. Im just talking I have so much more I need to be doing than making someone else anything.
 
The old lady and I drove 900 miles back from Montana(it was snowy) and I got a cool picture down the road from my parents lake cabin.

Replaced the radiator due to leaks from corrosion. Did the three large radiator hoses as long as I was in there. Hit 241,500 miles right before the work. Broke several rusted bolts but nothing horrific to fix this time.

:censor: rust... It's gonna be the death of this truck someday. :cry:

And I'll be driving it to work tomorrow. As always.:steer::steer::wrench::wrench::steer::steer:
 
Yeah, just don't want to screw it up and be stuck without. I have some dom scrap that I need to measure up and get to welding.

Check out my LCA post again, if you can write your name (without help) you should be fine.
 
There was a lot of dehydrated coffee and Coke stockpiled in that carpet:)

Looks like a very nice 1994 to me.
 
Metaltech links, man that made a huge difference in how it drives. Uppers are a pain in the dick to install, tighten but it is like a completely different vehicle now!!!


Note* pics before grease zerts, jam nut tightening or grease, plus its filthy under there

The MT poly bushing set up is sloppy and gets worse rapidly if you flex the suspension hard on a regular basis. Handling will deteriorate and the rear axle will start to steer the truck unpredictably. I went through two sets of those poly bushings in three years.

Recently I hacked off the poly bushing eyes and had custom eye machines and welded in to accept an oem bushing. I also installed new Johnny joints (the originals were not really bad yet) to get a true perspective of what my concoction would be like. It was a huge difference on the road; quieter, smoother and no loss of articulation on the rocks. New oem bushings are very flexible.

Thank you! Single owner, under 200k, triple locked 93 with all toyota service records and 35s inside the LC :D.

Glad to get all the spilled drinks out! The carpet floor mats didn’t protect much.

I powrwash and paint couple times a year california truck in massachusetts is lame.
 
Loctite the shiz out of the jam nuts!
I’ve been running MT links 3 or 4 years now and have had no problem keeping the power jam nuts tight with a ample torque but had to tack weld the uppers to keep them from coming loose.
 
Thanks that’s very helpful. I’ll hold off the panhard bracket install also and put priority on new bushings and control arm.
For your purposes, Blackhawk makes a set of arms that are longer, beefier than stock .120” wall and sporting OEM or at least oem style bushings at both ends. You don’t want the hassle of those MT poly bushings, been there done with that. @Box Rocket runs the Blackhawk links and can probably ad some testimony to there applicability.
 
93?

I see a plain black rear mud flap. That indicates a 94 or a replaced flap. :hmm:
Door and title say 93, no idea on the flaps. They are coming off anyways, but good to know they are a newer style.
 
Lifetime guarantee?:)

I built mine not to bend:flipoff2:Still straight after ~6 years of testing.
But what kind of testing? What are the dimensions/materials of your unbendable links?

Is the 10th digit of the VIN a "P" or an "R"?
