Rear UCA ball joint replacement. I used the Moog problem solver more like problem maker , it is ever so slightly bigger than the one I removed this caused many problems when trying to press it into the housing.

Has anyone tried to replace the hand powered jack in one of those presses with one of the air powered ones from Harbor Freight?

I did manage to get it together and yes it does like to distort. All the reviews I read on the Trilink is that they don't fare well on Australias rough country. Might have to look into the Russian option

So the 03 is done
New rocker panels with bed liner coating
Valve cover gaskets
New headlights with led
New fog lights with led
New clear turn signals
jba uppers
Bilstein with OME
MOOG swag bar end links also sway bushings
Moog wheel bearings
Brakes x4
Rear upper and lower arms
Jba Y link extension
OME shock and JBA springs
DNA cat back
Probably missing a few - I did pretty much to the 03 as my 02. So it’s a mirror of the black one

Waiting for oil spray and it’s readt for winter.

Thought about it but haven't tried it in mine. Seems like it would work.

(yesterday)

Drove it to a local farmer's market and bought some fresh produce. Spent a few hours canning (and seemingly five years peeling tomatoes) and today I have 3.5 gallons of salsa sitting on my kitchen counter in pint jars.

I would say that bread is bigger than mobile phone. Tastier, too.

(Unless your mobile phone is one of those early models the size of a cinder block.) :gr_grin:
