    FedEx just dropped off my new Links.
    The rugged ridge heavyduty set for a CJ wide track.
    With the M38a1 TRE's and .25 inch DOM link's


    Beefy....

    I was going to build my own but after pricing it all out this was cheaper and better than welding plugs anyway.

    211.00 to my door.
    Just have to bolt them in.
    I was going to get the goforit flip kit, but in the interest of getting this thing on the road that will wait.

    Getting close.





    I am fabbing a steering box brace from the other frame rail.

    In the back of my head I am thinking that the sector shaft is the weak link now

    But I drive conservative and will run '33's
    So its probably all over kill anyway:rofl:

    My drag link was garbage so I had to do something and went with the heavy ones.

    Just sharing..
    First pic is new drag link on and old center link still on.

    Keep an eye on the grease boots, i've sold a couple sets at the shop and a couple have had problems with them cracking out. If they do prothane makes some real nice poly replacements.
