Went to get mine aligned today at a 4x4 shop. Told them it was a 3-link system.

They call me after having it all day stating they cannot perform the alignment because it is missing one of the upper control arms....

I told them it is a 3-link and is very common and lot's of people run it this way. What a pain.

Anyway, not meant to be a comment against Cavfab in any way. The system is beefy and well built. Just letting out some frustration.

There was only 1 shop within an hour that I could find to align mine.

Also, on another note. I'm very upset about the lack of skid plate still.

Took the jeep out to the East side of Aravaipa Canyon for the weekend. Drove on some long flat dirt roads that were washboarded like crazy.

New long arms made the ride so much better on the washboard even without airing down.

Also, have the new cavfab solid steering rods on. Everything performed great.

The shop I went to said the same thing till I said to do it anyways and I’ll pay
Still was way better than before

X2 even with wrangler clocking for the transfer case

I mean my t case is clocked and I haven't hit it yet, it's pretty high and out of the way. The point is they said they'd make a t case skid and they haven't. They're developing all kinds of new products, but not our skid. I understand the market might be good for JK stuff, but if you promised a part make it. It just puts a bad taste in people's mouths about empty promises. Even if they make a skid it probably won't help me a ton since I clocked the case and I'd like a high clearance skid. Maybe I could get it and have a base for modification or something, but right now I have nothing at all.

So Cavfab, I've got a wheeling trip planned in 6 months that I really need a transfer case skid for. I would hate to go buy one seeing as I was promised one for "material cost" for preordering. What's the status on those skids? No bull**** promises. I know you guys do good work and are swamped but for once I need you to give a deadline that you will actually meet. Keep us in the loop!

SatiricalHen

I don't think they check on this anymore and I hate to say it, but I don't know if we will ever see a skid. The problem with "just buying another one" is the fitment to the cavfab crossmember. You might want to call or email their company if you actually want a response.

David's pretty active on social media, I'd be willing to bet he still sees this occasionally. Of course any other skid will have to be modified, not a big deal but I'd hate to spend money on one just to hack it up. I suppose fabbing our own is probably the way to go

Yeah I’ve seen your build thread
I mentioned the wrangler clocking because my mj with the 3link has an nv3550 from a Wrangler
I’d like more better piece of mind having a skid in place

They'll post on facebook and call everyone else out/bash within minutes but not on here I suppose. Good stuff that they've made, don't hold your breathe on promises though

heard this over and over from several people so I went with the Rock Solid 3 link from toms 4x4. it has a built in skid and everything is built solid!
good luck

It seems the only we may get the attention of CavFab is to post comments on their Facebook posts. If we as a group keep posting questions about their failed promises it will get noticed by potential new customers and somehow may get the attention of Cavfab. Too many broken promises going on for well over a year now. We need to get their attention and they need to make things right.

Good idea. Go for it
