Not a big deal to remove and 3 link it. 30 minutes worth of work lol.............
For sure, would just make me look more closely at what other parts were on it and their quality

30 mins? you want a job?

I believe Metal cloak still does a radius arm on their front 4 links also. They do have the lock-n-load upper link bar thought to allow the axle to fleckx. Still an inferior design IMHO

that is the other issue with it, yes; Kali

all the feedback on the links I noticed  is appreciated.
You've confirmed /im aware of the limitations that can be involved w/ radius CAs.
As @Jeepster1407 said, MC seems the only manufacturer making any steps towards advancing the link type lately,
but I still don't think id run them. Some folks have 0 issue w them.

I will subject anything I consider under my scrutiny & your'all's as well .
I have already braced myself for the differences I'm going to have to accept in some areas, comin from a
newer model ; if it is the 'right' rig, that won't matter.
my keys criteria:
Jeep
2 seats
acceptable cage
tons
already setup for offroad use/dominance* & a reliable powerplant.
I just want to come,unload,have it startup everytime, crawl + wheel the blackNblues (safely), possibly
make the exhaust headers glow white-hot like I saw Justin do, all w/out breaking
anyting more than a sweat,load it up , tow it home , maintain it , repeat.


(edit: * that word in this context means simply not having to stand w/KK & watch every rig but mine make it over somet obstacle ever again. I  guess I coulda used the term,' keep-up' instead of 'dominance', heh)

I think its ready to wheel right out of the box but there is room for improvements. (that's 1/2 the fun to me anyways)

fun for me for years. I love working on vehicles, especially Jeeps  .
 However, I dont require 4 doors & to put my JKU on tons, wheels,tires and cage is too much for me to upgrade to , all at once. I won't wait 3-4 years to get all of that. thats what got me into this.


Right now I just want to have a great weekend w/ everyone at AOP.  [hungry]

I know, Chuck. I can trade but I can't touch savings for this . Wife's rule of permission. So, these are all tempting but I feel I will have good options for purchasing rig & trailer for what I can sell her for .

she passed the "test repairs ride" at GATRFest, plus drive home she tracked straight down freeway. 

the trade/fr sale ad is coming in next few days .
