I think i finally found my long arm kit. Put me down for a purchase sometime late this summer.

The design of the skid under the arm bracket is sweet, allows access to the Tcase, good thinking.

And i like the color, different, but sweet

One suggestion i have after looking at the new pictures.

I would like to see at least one more cross bolt through the frame at each end of the arm brackets. Right now there is only 1 bolt going through, but if you guys made the frame mounting portion of the bracket a little longer you could get 2 bolts in there. That would make it a little more sturdy.

Just my

And again, the kit looks awesome

There is only one bolt going through the frame at each end, but there are also the 3 vertical bolts on each side that are the factory bolts from the transfer case skid. That makes 5 bolts per side holding it on. That should be plenty.

It does look good so far, but everytime someone gets in this thread and loses their nuts over it probably jacks the price up haha. It's potentially a fishing or feeler thread. If demand is high, cost can be high.

Yes, that is RockKrawler steering.

Wheels, tires, axles, gears and lockers all showed up. Gonna try to get the cage tacked up and wheels and tires mounted over the weekend and get the axles and gears in Monday. Running outta time.
Will get pics of the parts in a bit.

Eh, it'll probably hold up fine. I just like to over do everything.

Is this kit on the market yet? I'm not seeing it anywhere on the site. Any idea of a price range we should expect? Will it be for sale as an upgrade kit, as in long arms, mounts, etc. only. More pics of the rear, maybe from underneath please

How much R+D went into that steering? How does that play out in the real world, and can you explain that design to me?

Hard to see in the pics, is the drag link in single shear at the knuckle?

have you had the tie rod rotate under force?
