Well, as much as I wanted to pick up a front bumper for the 100, I was "forced" to make another purchase first. I noticed some wear on my front tires and knew it was due to the OME lift some of you helped me install a few months back. Toyota could only dial in the alignment so far due to the limitations of the stock UCA's.
So... I purchased some SPC UCA's today (the same ones Slee now sells with the OME lift as a package). They sell for around $560 (plus tax and shipping) from local/big venders, but found a smaller distributor that had a discount and free shipping available, so I ended up playing under $420 total.
Looks like we might need to have another "Help Travis Learn to Wrench" party sometime soon.
I'll grill some burgers and buy the beers. Who's coming over? Should be a whole lot easier than the lift.
I'd be happy to try and help out. when were you thinking?

Thanks for the offers guys. Not sure when I'm thinking of tackling these. I've got then next few weekends booked, but would like to get them on before Red Cone. ??? I might just try to get them on this weekend if I find the time. Read through the install instructions and they seem pretty easy to install.

Cool man, thanks for the offer. I'll see how this weekend goes and might just take you up on it if I don't get it done.
Again, I looked through some of the install threads in the 100 section and it shouldn't be nearly as laborious/time consuming as the lift was.

...now when we put on the 1" body lift 
so I can stuff 35's on her, THAT might be more of an all day thing.

Got the UCA's in today. Fairly straight forward installation (with everything torqued to the specified ft lbs. 
)
Now, just need to find someone willing to do a decent job on an alignment on Labor day weekend.

If you'd like leave it with me at work for a couple hours on Tuesday and I'll get you a smoking deal on an alignment.
Well looks like Travis already got it squared away. Greg do you guys do warrant work on jeeps? If so I may be bringing it in to see you when I get a chance.

Thanks for the offer! I've got it squared away for now, but might come over and see you in the future.
Yes Matt i can do warranty work on Jeeps. Whenever you'd like to bring it in either call me on my cell or my direct line at my desk (719)329-7517.
Will do Greg. Might need someone to go for a test drive. Been doing some research on it as well.
Thanks
Thanks
Just leave me the keys and I'll test drive the s*** out of it!
New rear brake pads on Saturday. I think the DS caliper may be sticking - there was plenty of pad left on the PS. But it was free when I worked on it. Think I likely need new rotors as well, but couldn't find my calipers to measure it. I think in the spring I'm going to do the whole rear axle service, new rotors, calipers, etc.
