Great build, really want to see what comes next.

You said your buddy is going to be making and selling the 3 link kit. When is it going to be available because it looks pretty decent.

They are available for pre order and are already posted in the vendor section. I highly recommend checking them out.

No big updates. Jeep is heading to CavFab for some crossover steering...not really sure it will fit with factory wheels..but thinking my spacers will allow enough room..may have to do some minor grinding.

In the mean time I leave you with some random pics

Very minor.

The track bar angle is a bit off but not much I can do with it because of the RE bracket.

The steering geometry is mint aside from the TB.

This uses ruff stuff Heims, not sure what Brian uses anymore.

Other than that it's crossover steering just like all others lol

Looks like it doesn't differ much when compared to B Lees heavy duty UTK steering at least similar specs, then again it's only steering there are only so many ways to skin a cat, but it's good to have another company producing XJ parts.
