so is all pro stuff good? decent? not going to break on my ass when i abuse my truck? or similar in comparison to the otehr stuff? by other people?

 

Unfortunatly they don't have a single part for a 1985 2x4 pickup.

 

however some of the stuff like bumpers and such i think to be interchangeable?

 

also been looking at their roll cage as well, that shouldnt be an issue of 4x4 or 4x2....

 

I think a rear bumper and a roll cage would be about it. The things I have bought from All-Pro have been very nice and I felt a recived a great deal.

I have bought, Profields and Cro-Mo front axles for the FJ-62 and there Perch kit for my Cargo trailer with the Chevy springs.

All nice stuff, well made.

 

it seems more would fit my 4x2... and i have a 4cyl 8" on my truck...... there is a lot that is interchangeable between the 4x4 and the 4x2, rock sliders, flatbed kit, carriers, lockers, cage, bumpers, rear axle related stuff, perch hangers, frame hangars, shackles, springs, etc

 

will do.

 

If you saw this one in the "Poser" post thread you can see BruceTS's runner and what his TC ones can do. I personally like this setup, check out the droop. big "if" I had the cash...

Yes the cash $$$

 

Steve, thanks for your input. Good stuff as always.

And thanks to everyone else, as well.

Peace.

Just for clarification, there is A LOT more than Total Chaos Upper Control Arms making that happen.

 

hence, why I said "big "if" I had the cash..." and also posted the link to the full details.

 

Like what?
I was next in line after him on that run. That pic shows the rear end flexing nicely, with regular OME type stuff.
<<<<<<<<Similar to my avatar pic


He hasn't customized the rear end like he wants to in that pic. And I know he doesn't really use the crawler that much unless he's given it a couple of attempts w/out it. On that spot, just rolled on through the first time. Other than the E locker, what else do you think helped?

 

The Magic Fairy. Certainly the Magic Fairy.

 

Actually it's a full combination of things that work together to make it all happen. The TC long travel suspension does help, but you can't forget about the beadlocked 35's and E-Locker. I haven't had the time needed to do the rear suspension yet, so for now it's just OME shocks and springs, with Steve Hunt's old spider trax control arms.

Ironically, I'm running the front suspension a bit lower than the recommended ride height that TC intended it to sit at, needless to say my CV angle is quite flat, a good thing.

The Magic Fairy Steve is talking about must be this board with all it's wonderful information.

The photo keisur linked, better shows the ability of the 35' being stuffed into the stock wheel well without rubbing. I think the Hungry Valley shot shows the front flex much better.....

 

I linked it for the droop, I could tell the droop more in this than that other pic. I think the other pic shows the actual components in the front better though.

 

But the photo doesn't show full droop in the front, whereas this one does;

 

What? First off...There is nothing in this thread about rear suspension. We were only discussing custom front upper control arms.

When Keisur posted:

I was afraid that less informed people would think that the flex Bruce gets is from custom upper control arms alone. I just didn't want the thread to mislead anyone.

 

The advantages of being single.......hehe

 

I know this thread is about UCA's. I was just asking you, what else you thought made his REAR axle flex like that,since that is all that is really shown to be flexing.
In the first pic his front drivers tire is on relatively flat ground,and his sliders are even with the top of his rim, compare the other pic where his sliders are almost even with the top of his tire. That is some drooop!
Steve-How much longer until the official "Sonoran Steel magic fairy" goes into production?
