Does anybody know if you can use factory style control arm bushings on a Rough country control arm (non-greasable). ive done research to no results

unidentifiedbomb 03-03-2019 12:47 PM

No idea, good lucking XJ though. Never used RC stuff.

Skeeter2000 03-03-2019 12:56 PM

Yea I emailed them, they replied with there are no replacement bushing just buy these new updated ones. So I'm gonna look for a set of upper and lower control arms. Maybe just a whole new lift. Who knows. I see know why everybody steers away from RC

So my hood flew up on me and get all bent to peices, so now I'm thinking of doing a cowl hood, and I got my CB installed. I wanna find a better way to mount my antenna, amd strobes installed.

Skeeter2000 03-06-2019 09:15 AM

Ill be dropping some pictures of my CB set up, and LED Dash. Ive still been looking for new upper and lower control arms. Thinking about a 3 link

i got bored so i painted my rims OD green
I don't have a picture of my dash, but tomorrow I getting my rear speakers fixed. Then its getting put on the back burner for a little while I have to fix my other 2 vehicles.

Skeeter2000 04-29-2019 02:06 PM

Trying to upload pictures but its being a pain. Painted my grill OD Green, polished my head lights, and remounted my LED lights. Going to be investing in some CAVFAB control arms and steering. Mid next month. Hitting the junkyard this weekend for some interior peices. Slow progress, but gonna try and get it built for jeep beach 2020 seeming how I missed it this year.

Skeeter2000 05-14-2019 09:38 PM

Order some CAVFAB stage 1 upper and lower control arms, and a amazon special DIY bumper. Im starting to build up some parts for it, then gonna drop about 2 weeks of leave to get it all mounted up. Maybe take it out wheeling a few times, then clean it up real nice and start prepping for phase 2 build ill see if i can upload some pictures of the CA and bumper i ordered.

Good luck with the arms. I was looking at them until I found Core 4x4 Tier 3 arms for the same price but thicker tubing and Currie Johnny Joint ends and in any color you want. That bumper is a hot question on facebook, heard they look like a JCR DIY bumper.
