Why when you post a topic, ask for suggestions, or advice and 3 or 4 reply but over 100 view it? I would like to get more than just a few opinions on a part before I buy.

Could be people see what others have said and since they agree they don't feel the need to clutter the thread with the same info...

Or it could be that they don't know anything about the part/product you've posted about...

Or it could be that the 3-4 that did respond are well-respected members that know their stuff so no further feedback is required...

Or they just don't care and are simply browsing while they're bored at work... <------ This one is my guess

Or it's a combination of these.

What product are you looking at buying?

Crown HD steering. I cant afford the Currie at the moment and I dont abuse or ride my rig hard. I dont rock climb, its my daily driver and go offroad every so often. Considered Rustys but heard all the reviews. Not up for reaming or drilling or adding more to my lift than needed.

If you don't want to ream or drill anything then just go with a ZJ tie-rod. Lots cheaper and stronger than stock. If you want to really strengthen your steering that means stronger TRE's (1-tons) which means reaming/drilling.

Serious and JCR both make good 1-ton set ups that don't cost too much but again, they're 1-ton set ups so reaming/drilling is needed on the knuckles.

Yup. Exactly what was said above. Go zj if you don't want to drill. Serious if you are willing to drill.

Exactly. If I don't know I move on and if someone beat me to it same thing.

Kind of funny that based on your question that 144 people have viewed this thread and I will have only the 10th reply. I think people are probably just cruising the forum looking for knowledge and only lend a hand when they have some valuable input. I only reply to post's that I have specific answer's to and solid info regarding the problem. I hate when people come at me with there personal opinions and not fact on here.

Are you asking in general? Because there are tons of threads where the subject is:

"Need help"

"has anyone had this problem?"

"Problem with my 'YY XJ"

"Weird problem"

"Problem with new (to me) XJ"

"Weird XJ problem"

"Rim question"

"Brakes question"

"Weird XJ Brakes problem"

"New to forum, weird XJ problem"

"Has anyone had this weird rim problem when they brake on their new to them XJ?"

everything but what it is. So many that I'm sure the mods have given up on trying to edit/add info to the topics.

Some people try to help but have to look at the thread to see what the issue is.

Things would be easier if the topics included the problem...like "just got a 93 _J shifts hard when warmed up" instead of "Can't figure out whats wrong with my cherokee"
