yes i like iro long arms but im glad to see someone that can back up what they say with pics 
I still support them though if they were really as bad as everyone says they wouldnt be making them still. Although that doesn't mean that they cant fail as anything can and will eventually.
Just wondering
Was the main bolt grade 8? and was it kept tight or loctite put on it, not just put on and forgotten about until it failed?

I was "lurking" on here and other sites a lot before i joined here and i still havent found one post where someone had actual proof that the caster adjustment on the iro long arms failed. It was always
Iro hater: its gonna break
Iro User: how do you know
Iro hater: it just looks weak
Iro User: but that doesnt prove anything
Iro hater: well i wouldnt use them
Iro User: thats fine just dont talk about stuff you dont know

working on it right now got the front all done the other day.
Still gotta hook up the sway bar disconnects
Did a hack and tap last night.
the only thing I wish they had said something about is the drag link. you either have to bend your stock one or get an over the knuckle set up otherwise it contacts the steering stablizer and sway bar link.
Bought a 20 hydraulic press from Harbor Freight today and Bent the drag link.
Working on removing the abs and running new brake lines right now.
