Finally removed the hassle of a spare tire carrier. Everything is easily reversible. If I go on a long trip I will be putting the carrier back on, but for day to day life it is in the way.

 

Decided to get under the H2 to reinstall the skip plates, since I won't have to remove it for a while. I found out why some of the shaking was so bad. The main bolt through the differential cross-member had come loose. I'm luck I didn't lose it! Some loctite fixed that in a hurry.

I forgot to get pics of the idler & pitman arms, but here's the Kyrptonite UCAs & the crossmember.

put it in the back yard for the winter now that we are going to get some snow. it will definitely need a battery this coming spring as i had to jump it to get it started last night.

otherwise, nothing planned. hopefully the mice stay out of it with all of the dryer sheets i put in it and in the engine compartment...

I also use cloves on the inside and then place mothballs on top of tires and on the frame in various places just as an extra deterrent.

 

I bought a high pitched emitter that I placed behind the dash to move rodents on. I change the battery every 3 months or so.

 

Since I never posted the pics before, here we go.
These are the components I recently upgraded to, minus the pitman arm support. I'm waiting till I have time to find someone to weld on the support plate. Everything else is installed.

Get an extra pair of rubber sleeves for the tierods ,mine started leaking grease pretty quick . I assumed they would send me a pair for free with the guarantee , but nope they'll sell em to ya.

 

What brand, GrillSmasher?

 

On the inner kryptonite tie rod that black sleeve split and grease just started leaking I had to call them up , there's tht guarantee on them (tierods) that says on their website jump it, race it, break it , it's covered so I figured they just send me a new one over at dmax stores but he said since my vehicle was modded (leveled or lifted) that sleeve wasant covered . So he wanted 6 bux for the sleeve . So i said so what if my tierods bust or break are you gonna cover them or use the modded excuse again cause everyone is modded by his definition , he said they'll cover them. Hopefully I don't find out , otherwise I'm happy with their product , the uca , tierods and cognito brace kit .

I'm not complaining but just letting yall know, but how one conducts business is important , this is just what happened with me. I felt he should of said ok man sorry I'm gonna send you 2 more sleeves free. After all those tierods are 500 bux.

 

Alright, I was just making sure.
I agree. I've run into issues with a couple weightlifting equipment manufacturers who will fight with you about defective products & service. I'll keep this in mind if I break anything. Sounds like a bait & switch warranty to me.

Under the UCA description at the Dmaxstore website, the warranty claims:
Then in the description, they state:
They should just state which lifts won't work or that lifted/leveled H2s disqualify the warranty. If anything, they are encouraging those with lifts to buy the UCAs without any mention of warranty denial.



I'll be getting their ball joints (kryptonite) next. If that gets worn out, I'll be curious how they plan on playing the warranty angle, since that is one of the parts that gets the most wear as either a DD and offroad rig.


I'm really loving their UCAs, so far. Like you said, they make a good product, but it isn't encouraging that they are giving you a hard time...
