Thanks for the warm welcome last night (Feb. 17). I'm the new guy with the Blue FJ.
Nice meeting all those who were there.
I have OME suspension on its way (Heavy frt springs and med rears with med. shocks all around and two 5mm trim spacers. I will have and ARB bumper and winch. Any thoughts as to if I should do the upper "A" arms as well?

It was great meeting you too at the meeting!

It may not be needed to run a UCA once you get the bumper and winch on there, however you will get more downtravel with the UCA. Most of us run the All-Pro UCA and the newer 1.25" uniball provides a little more droop. OME with the 1" uniball at the time gave 9.5" of travel which is pretty decent.

The Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, and 4Runner have the similar front suspension geometry.

The UCA's will recover your castor which is the most benefit as your highway driving will feel planted again.

Freeze,
Do you have a place you prefer to buy All Pro from or should I go to their web site and order direct?

Wait for a group buy, you'll get a better deal and the cost of shipping is spread along other buyers.

Like Albert (tacotaco) says.. we run mass purchases form All-Pro that also deal with OME with incredible prices. National 4WD here in Calgary also offers 15% off to all CT4WD members if you talk to Shane.

Was it just the Upper Control Arms you were looking for?

Yes, I have the OME on its way already. Add me to the list for a group buy and let me know when it is going to happen, Or will I get a good price from Shane if I buy anytime soon?

I have a set of UCA for sale, its from a 05-09 tacoma but I think someone said they work for FJ as well. Its in the part for sale section.
