Holy s*** I didn’t even know this thread was started dammit jtw. Sorry I drove the whole way straight while jtw poked me giggled farted and snored so wasn’t on the phone any. Although the cabin and Bathing facilities beat the lizard lounge and the Colorado river like last year. Dude that owns the place even let us borrow his Jeep to go to the grocery store.

Love you to. Pretty excited at this time looks like we are gonna hit up steel bender first thing in the am (so probably around noon). I did completely replace all ball joints with super atv ball joints, reinforced top front A arm bracket, replaced my steering rack with one graciously provided by RB3 alone with the heavy duty Cfab tie rods and a set of 1.5 and 2 inch spacers by RB3 as well.

I will have a review on the rack and some pictures of the install and special tools you may or may not wanna use. With only driving in the driveway even with tie rods that have heims the steering does feel much more precise with very little play and the fit and finish of the rack itself looks awesome.

Was a good day we went to steel bender today, the steering rack and tie rods are doing well. I think I need to tweak the alignment but overall it seems very solid. Deltons doors also are wonderful in this hotter weather. The spacers definitely have given me the much needed stability that I should have done much sooner.

The spacers make a huge difference in your stance and makes it less tippey and obviously the rack is Awesome!!!

Had a good ride.. found a couple spots that were not user friendly. Kilo almost died.. I’m getting a cage and maybe an igr. But we made it back in time to meet Richard and then head out for a bite to eat. Made a couple mods this evening and just living the dream baby!
