See you over at FRF...black skid looks real good...that'll be the next purchase I hope...laying low on mods before the wife kills me haha...

Couple of my latest upgrades. Rogue Racing Heim adjustable UCA's and replacement Steering Knuckles with Outlaw gussets. Next upgrade will be the tie-rods but that will most likely be several months from now.

They look good man. How are the reinforced knuckles? Really wish they had caps for them! Still look sweet!

Knuckles aren't anything noticeable. I got them because I bent my passenger side. I think it happened when I would be coming around a corner at speed and nailing a few harden mud ruts that I got caught in due to the terrain. So until I do something like that again, I really won't know. With it being slightly bent, I couldn't get an alignment done correctly, my camber was too far negative even though the lowers were pushed in as far as they could go. So I was either replacing the knuckles with stock again and possibly dealing with this again or replace them with something beefier. The aftermarket knuckles at $2k+ was a tad too rich for my mod budget (don't really have budget, I am out of control somewhat). I got these set for $325 shipped from someone taking them off since they are going long travel with their suspension. I am sure if I try hard enough, I can bend these too but now I will pay more attention knowing what could happen.

nice, i hear ya on the mods, i'm waaaaay over budget and still have a ways to go, almost done, somewhat with the suspension, then on to the bumpers / fenders possibly...last thing will be aesthetics like a wrap and such.
