Had my buddy bustedknuckes put some stock upper control arms on my jeep for me cause I'm in Alaska working, didn't feel safe having the girlfriend driving it with these. Gonna be long arm soon tho.

Wow, almost identical to mine that I changed out 2 weeks ago congrats you are now a member of the " Wet noodle UCA " club. I'm guessing your LCAs were pretty beat up too ?

Went to top off my oil and i saw a little crack in my fresh air valve and gave it a little wiggle and snapped it completely off, so i went to the local parts store and replaced it with a pcv valve and new gasket.
