FINALLY GOT MY UCA/LCA's ON!!!

Well after all this workin on nates car this weekend it really got me in the mood 2 work on mine... I was about 20 min into the install and they said i need 2 knock out a weight in the axle bracket that was tack welded... so after about 20 min of hammering w/ a chisel i call will up and ask him if he had an air chisel... so now will joined the party and about 2 hours after he showed up we finished everything up... The UCA and LCA's w/ relocation brackets...now this rain needs 2 take a hike so i can test her out....






now i feel like i need 2 order more parts now that everything is installed... if anyone wants 2 give me $1500 i can start ordering...

Looks nice! Can't help ya on the money, I'm gettin ready to do some spending of my own. Mostly on my bike though.

well ill take any size donation...

Fixed it for ya!!

yea any size.... that is

The Arms look good under there, let us know how they perform

once the rain is done and the roads are dry sure thing...

Note to self... don't put finger in between hammer and head of bolt while Zak is hammering... Dumb slip on my part

I'm still wondering how that top bracket comes out... I would have figured it out if I didnt break the bulb on the drop light...

I will figure it out on mine though soon...

haha hows the finger will? i tired 2 hold up but i guess i wasnt quick enough... whenever u need a hand u kno who 2 call!!! thanks again will

LOL not your fault. Its all good...

Yeah will give you and Nate a call.

Need to sometime figure out how much it will cost for you guys to pour a pad for me.

Looks good....

BTW, you need to fix your rusty axle tubes!

Nice job, Zak and Will I wonder why some cars have the axle weights while others don't??? Mine didn't have them...
Zak, you gonna get the relocation brackets welded up so they can take abuse with stickier tires? I've seen first hand what happens when you launch hard and they're not welded...just ask John (BOSS281)...
The weather is to start clearing up and be in the 50-60s the next few days!

The design is way different than the BMR.

BMR has failure points as you can see and is not 1/4 inch steel



The Metco is 1/4 inch steel and is boxed with a steel tube through the center that doesnt allow any movement. It also uses the axle tube to wedge itself in and the boxed in back side wedges itself into the back of the stock location bracket. it then has a tube that runs through the center that is welded in that houses the stock LCA bolt.



However it wouldnt hurt to weld them. I think they are bulletproof the way they look. I dont think I could bend them even if I ran over them with my bulldozer.

Not sure why the instructions called them weights because they are not. The large weight on top of the tube was added after build dates of August 06.

The two circular welded nuts we had to remove were inside of the stock bracket. The were drilled and tapped inside like something was to be installed there. They were about inch and a half wide and 1/4 inch thick. THey had three spot welds that held the "circular nut" on. It prolly weighed 6-7 oz.

Looks good Man!!

yea im not planning on welding incase they ever need 2 be taken off...they seem pretty solid...

looks good Zak. If it wasnt so late in the day i'd have helped out. Yah Will just let me know when you need a hand. I owe you big time

They look good!

Those are some stout looking LCA brackets for sure!

looks good.did you say you had zerk fittings on your lca's?the first summer i had mine one of the numerous things i did was the steeda lca's and adjust upper link.but i dont have any zerk's on mine.i believe the steedas have a urathane bushing.do you know if those dont need to be greased?yours are probably a better set than mine.but i tell you what they eliminated the hoppin.

yes each arm had 2 zerk's

looks great

Nice stuff, looks good.
