Waiting for the brown truck to drop off some turtle stuff.

 

So your general conclusion is that the six-shooter knuckles aren't really needed?

I ask because I've recently destroyed my tie rod and bashed the axle. I was thinking about just going with crossover steering and splurging for the six-shooters to be extra strong (my knuckles are not damaged, just not sure what they can take). I probably won't ever go with tires larger than 35" or so.

(Don't mean to steal the thread, the question just fit right in!)

 

Any progress?

 

Yup its all back togeather and I wheeled it good on sunday

As for the six shooters. I dont have any thing against them. I just want people to understand that most knuckle failures are do to poor maintenance. As for your situation you definatly dont need them IMO. Crossover steering with fj80 TRE's is a VERY strong setup. this accident was proof to that!! The steering saw most of the hit and it is still perfect. plus I run hydro assist so the steering was caught between a 3000lb ram and and a 50mph hole. put the $ somewhere else

 

Glad it's all back together.

Thanks for the input on the knuckles.
