Glad you’re getting over it.
My girlfriend got Covid for her birthday last January and again for Christmas this year.
I’m an excellent gift giver.

Lol…… the wife found it suspicious being we were due to hang with her family, I swear that it was not intentional ……

Update to my post # 675

There’s light at the end of the tunnel……

Today I got my MC SS bracket….it didn’t work… ….. but I butchered it up so I could put it on upside down and lo and behold….. I got the Sumabitch to work….?

I recently purchased the Rock Krawler tie rod and drag link and am running into the same issue. I saw this thread and tried to make my own bracket like the Clayton off road one but i am having interference now with the tie rod when turning driver. Any chance you could send a photo of the clearance when turned full driver?

Yeah, I tried 4 or 5 different brackets, and the only thing that I found that worked was the MC bracket turned upside down and modified…..here’s full lock driver…..

And here’s full lock passenger, it gets close but doesn’t make contact…..

Damn near soiled myself, went up on the ramp and when I tried to stop on top the wheel kept moving. It actually opened up about 3 inches but went back some, but in the driver seat felt like 3 feet….? …lasted 4 years out in the FL elements, which is pretty good for here….

I got it restored, should be good for another 4 years, lol…

Sweet brother…. where did you buy from?

I picked them directly from Danaproparts.com. They are a small division of the larger company. They had 15% of everything they make during Black Friday. I was able to get the set shipped to my door for $18,000 which includes tax. The axle price itself was $15,300 which is thousands cheaper than, Fusion, Dynatrac or Currie. So far everything seems to bolting together pretty well. Rear is done and front is now attached to the Jeep. I bumped my tires to 38” and I have to say I really think they are going to be the sweet spot between performance and ground clearance.

Dripping?

Dripping?

Yeah, can’t see where because of that metal saddle it sits in, doesn’t look like it’s coming from the elbow or hose clamp area…. The plastic reservoir sits loose on that plate, I’m wondering if it moving around has made a pin hole or crack or something…. I’m gonna tear into it this weekend, I got a new resi coming…..
