currie johnny joints.

those are the same axles i have. still gotta build them up and get them under the heep tho.

yeah 1st thing i'm gonna do is focus on finding the axles then build those. once those are built i'll start focusing on getting the other stuff lined up so i can have it all ready to throw on. don't wanna be without a ride for too long

I'd trust caged's input on that.. he knows the HD stuff more than i do..

Are they the heavier gold anodized stuff i see.. like Clayton's uses? It's much bigger and probably stronger than my RE JJ's.

Thanks for the compliment.. yours came out sweet too.

this is the JJ i'm gonna use and here's the info on it

"All new from Currie, forged Johnny Joints®!!! We have taken the Johnny Joint® to the next level by making a male rod end style forging that accepts the Johnny Joint® internals from our CE-9110 2 1/2" Johnny Joints®. This version features a 9/16" thru bolt hole, a 2 5/8" mounting width, 2 1/4" of 1 1/4"-12 right hand threads on the shank, and is greasable through the outer shell. Units will also accept our 9/16" greasable thru bolts as well (available seperately). We also keep the jam nuts for these units on hand at all times as well. These can be used in any Currie adjustable lower control arm, as well as in any type of universal application for those building their own arms. Finished in gold zinc plating, sold each."
