Also did a walkaround of my Crawler concept sliders to see how well they did through 2 trips on the rubicon

Hey dude, does this eliminate the need for steering stabilizer, or you just don’t have it back on yet? I see the long stud still there for it. Rigs looking great by the way.....:like:

Before the full alignment my wife did hit a massive pothole and she did get some steering shimmy. I aligned it and had her drive it again and no issues this time around. I have about 1/32-1/16 toe in. After the test drive with the alignment we put the stock steering stabilizer back on. The steering feel is still light compared to how the falcon's were.

Interesting, this concept is new to me. What’s the advantage? I understand the SS ends, beefy stuff. For the Cav Fab, is it for weight?

Getting a tire rebalancing done, noticed shaking after I rotated.

7075 Aluminum bends and then springs back into place. Steel once bent is pretty much bent. If you bend it back it will weaken the steel. If you don't play in the rocks then aluminum isnt really all that necessary.

Not my video but it gives you a good idea why aluminum tie rods are a thing

New toy... going to install over the weekend. Anyone install a new stabilizer? Do you need to lift the Jeep or can it be done without?

Sweet!! No need to lift your rig unless you just want more room to work if it’s not lifted. Pretty simple just remove and replace.
