Well I put on the kit and here are my happenings, so to speak...
Parts impression;Mega SOLID tie rod, draglink and nice hardware.
The actual installation on the XJ; I'm not thrilled with that draglink under the tie rod on the passenger side. Just not logical to me. Didn't really like the handling either. So I moved the tie rod to the bottom of the knuckles, put the draglink on top of the knuckle with the misaligment washer. I am REALLY happy now!
Summary; For the money, you get the parts you need to build a wicked strong steering system. Just gotta tweak it! lol
Pics at some point. lol -B
Took some pics on the way to Tim Horton's this morning to test the steering.
Rock Krawler Set-up from instructions;
How I did it;
The steering is awesome now and haven't had my alignment yet either!
Sorry for the parking lot photos, the XJ's been in the garage for most of the winter getting worked on. Here's how she looks so far. Just finished patching the floor, still have to put in the Rock Hard cage, and vinyl flooring. The interior is bare save for the driver seat. -B
