    Update:
    For those who took an interest anyway. So I broke down and caved, went up to the local toyota after market shop today. Had one of their techs have a looky-lou at the truck. He said my ball joint issue is most likely from the cheap ass leveling kit one of the owners before me put in. He said that putting in UCAs ment for a 2 to 5 inch lift kit will help the issue, but recommended I put a proper 2/2.5 in lift or get better quality, aka metal, spacers. I explained thats what my suspissions were. Talked to him about the control arms I had been looking at. I settled on and bought the KSP Motor Sports UCA kit. Explained I don't really trail ride or offroad too much, mainly field driving for work sometimes. Shop said they'll be more than fine, they've used and installed them in the past for them mall lot boys lol. No real issues to worry about or note as far as they knew. But they arent for crawling or hard trails and if you abuse them beyond their limits, like anything, they'll fail.

    So we'll see how this goes.

    Still saw spots where City of ATL apparently salted the road, though.

    Oooh, this is interesting. But if I install this with a cap, I won't be able to load much of shit into the truck anymore. Neighbor needs help taking a washer in to recycle, stuff like that wouldn't be possible anymore. I'd like to have slide-out storage though.

    @shifty` do you remember that GM suv they sold a while back that where the middle section of the rear roof was a canvas material that could be opened up for carrying tall cargo? I don't remember what it was called. You need something similar. Decked system and a cap with that canvas section that can be opened for carrying tall cargo. Lol.

    Envoy XUV. It was the Envoy XUV. That's it.

    Doug has his moments, but I can understand how one could form that opinion

    One of the last remaining quarter washes left in town was actually open. It's 15 degrees outside so the water froze to the truck as I sprayed :rofl:I couldn't get out of the wash bay in 2WD.

    I'm just happy I got most of the salt and brine off.
