You're going to love it.   If you buy the PRG uppers be prepared to have to force the UCA in.  Mine were about a 1/4" off.  Greg said to muscle it in which made me nervous, but haven't had one problem.  Beyond that it was cake.

Congrats, its a big upgrade...not that I have it on my rig yet, but th evidence off-road is clear.

Blue gloves are still available if you need help, I don't mind helping and learning on other guys rigs while plotting my own upgrades :) Those pics was one of the first 'mod days' I attended and working with Ghost on the Ghost was a blast. Working with you on the Smurf will be just as much fun, color coded to the gloves

Yeah, I hope so. After Last Chance Canyon today, I see that I can definitely use it.  I ordered the new SPC UCAs, hopefully they'll go right in.

We'll definitely need to work a mod day when I get everything, and you're invited.

Swapped in a 350Z t-stat today. My operating temps are now about 10 degrees cooler, 183 to 190, as opposed to 195 to 200.

Moved the OEM top hats and modified OEM isolators over to the Tundra 5100s, in preparation for the swap. This a pretty good shot to compare the two struts.

Well, that's a good sign, correct ratio.. Everything inside looks good too.

Titan swap complete in a little over 4 hours, with the help of Toro, Woody, add occupantX. It went off without a hitch. I think Danny stated that the worse thing that happened was trying to make room in the fridge for beer.

Yep, that's a little bit of grease coming out of the inner boot. I got three boots in time for the swap, but the fourth didn't come in time, so I reused the old one. It leaked pretty good, I have grease all over the bottom of the truck. I'll be ducting and zip tying it to hold me over until I get a chance to replace the boot.


Full droop.

Squatting just a little bit right after the install, but it settled nicely after the alignment and the drive.
