upper control arm bump bumps

Fun Fact: only reason I opted to run sum is to keep the 2" lowering coil springs from falling out when jacking up the truck

so guess what? I'm redoing the driveshaft turns out the Lexus drive shaft has the center bearing support bracket on the wrong shaft (differential side instead of transmission side) so it aint gonna work out for me, so three drive shafts later...

I'm gonna post a video explaining all this so please stay tunned

so I thought I would clean up the center bearing drive shaft support cross member just a tad

yes all that dirt is just from the back side of the center crossmember, wait till you see how I cleaned the other side

thanks be to a forum member who hooked a brother up with two proper upper coil ear lobes (I'm sorry but once you see them you can't unsee them)
