Looks like it accomplishes the same thing I'm doing without any cutting or welding thats required with the ruffstuff kits.

I'm a fan so far.

Yes he did lol.
No enclosure but the filler neck needs to be secured. Who bought his rig? I swore it was a member on here

Looks like the IRO kit
But the .25 Dom sounds great comparatively for less... I'll be going with this now that it's been brought to my attention

The ONLY thing i can really find wrong and I'm being picky. It looks like the heim joints are single sheer. So they mount on the same side of the knuckle. Its probably putting a huge amount of stress on the bolt. Still looks like an awesome setup.

You would have to change the rest of your stock steering pieces to make it double shear. The best way to do that would be to weld another piece to both steering arms and the pitman arm to capture the rod end.

If you go UTK(under-the-knuckle) you mount the tierod under the steering arms on the knuckle and the draglink to the top of the passenger steering arm. If you go OTK(over-the-knuckle) you mount both the tierod and draglink to the top of the passenger steering arm. They mentioned it can be mounted either way.

I don't think there is a system for sale that isn't single shear when replacing the y-link steering.

Ok I must have misunderstood how it mounts UTK. I would be mounting it like that. I'd be ok with splitting the drag link and tie rod

Just throwing this out there, but we should plan a cherokeeforum run with just people who actually post on here... I'm just saying, it's been a while.
