ding, ding, ding!!!
Good and bad - between the current physical layout of my truck, my front diff is off center to the driver's side and the track is 1" wider than OE. I have ICON billet UCAs that are currently adjusted out 1/2" more on each side. The front end aligns perfectly with the cams being in a near perfect center. The cv axle on the driver side is, from flange-to-flange, the OE length. The passenger side needed to be 1 inch longer so that the tripod in the inner 'cv' is in the proper 'working' location. I was hyper-extending that joint and dislocating the inner joint. This should be a relatively inexpensive cure to my truck's ills!
They were made for my by the owner of Sway-A-Way... good guy. 
May have picked up (read:stolen for cheap) some leather Accord power seats for the Yeti

I had the same issue on my Taco once I got it lifted to 4" and had the Light Racing UCAs installed. The Driver side CV kept pulling out of the diff (since if had a birfield instead of 3-tree).

The anal retentive guy in me wanted to find and resolve the root cause. The beer drinker in me wanted a quick fix. The drinker won!

Well I wanted to test the hydraulic anti-sway bars so I went up to my friends house where there are some GREAT twistees. I gave the keys to him and said I needed him to test the suspension. Now I know why one of my friends HATES driving with me in the 7 in the mountains! These mountain roads have no guardrails nor berm. WTF? He had fun and I had to change my pants!
The best part of all? The dynamic suspension is fixed! Took about $1 worth of hydraulic fluid. Sean, I think it's high time you get an Audi!

On a side note for those who have had cages built what was the approx cost. I'd do it myself but I just don't trust myself to design and build one

Berry berry nice! I'll be looking at vehicles again in about a year. Building this house is taking priority but once its all set we'll be looking again. We'll see.
