We had an odd 70 degree day today in NJ. It gave me a chance to put on the RPM tie rod. This thing is stout! I couldnt find my pickle fork for the pitman arm so I didnt even attempt the drag link. Its supposed to be another warm day tomorrow, but rain is possible. I like this kit. FYI The ends are made by Apex, so you can buy their setup too.

To the folks that asked via "conversation"... Yes, I have the stock front steel skid modified for my towbar and I use the factory steering stabilizer locations for my Fox 2.0 SS. (you cant see it, but its behind the tie rod)

FYI, Reid knuckles are due to arrive on Feb 24. Still awaiting the ball joints and RCV axles. I'll probably do those all together. Thanks for following. I'll update ASAP. A little bit of advise, check your vendors before ordering. It took me 3 months to get a refund from one. I ended up ordering from CJOffroad for my Borla 140828 exhaust. Argh!

LOL. Those look like the same boxes I received. Although mine are K7942. Let us know if they're drilled and slotted.

Your kit is rear only, I bought the front and rear. I hope to install this weekend. From what I ordered they are suppose to be drilled and slotted.

Man your going all in, The only thing I need now the Reid knuckles. Got the ball joints, bump stops, apex tie rods and now the brakes. I am still on the hanger for the shafts. I might do a truss before I do the shafts.

They sell chromoly shafts for the front too if RCVs are not an option. (my RCVs are on backorder and I wont see them for about a month) I ordered the knuckles from Poly Performance. I got a 10% discount, they dont charge sales tax or delivery. Aren't trusses more for jumping and Baja racing? LOL

That FAD area is definitely the weak link of these axles. People have cracked them doing less than jumping/Baja racing.

I'm gonna keep moving forward and replace the the knuckles and ball joints this weekend being the RCVs still are on back order for a few more months. The good thing is my DSs were delivered today. I went with Adams 1350s.

Does Adams replace the yoke on the axle? My front is currently the 1310 setup from Metalcloak. I just received the JE Reel 1350 rear shaft and it also replaces the axle yoke, so I had to get a beam style in/lb torque wrench with a dial to not over torque the pinion nut. I'll be swapping the front out for a matching JE Reel as soon as it shows up.
