Offset TRE's would work on WJ steering but what would you do on stock knuckles for the drag link?
Inverted T tie rod end.

Ill probably have my buddy help with building my steering in the summer.
Debating going to pickup a spartan for the D30. Told myself come locker time I would want nothing but selectable but im thinking anything upfront will work..rear is where I want to have a selectable. May also start thinking on bumpers sooner than later.

I mean up front anything will suffice, its not going to affect drive ability on the street.
My buddy made a good point though.. Lockers will get you further, but when you get stuck with a locker you are stuck much worse than you would be without...recovery first.

So maybe a bumper with a front receiver and d rings. I would go for a winch mount but I dont want to loose the approach angle. Too bad I dont have fab skills like the goldrush dude!

x2 I dig the stubby look. I say just build one for half that cost and have it stick out enough for a hoop. That's what I plan on if I ever start a second build.
