KevinG Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 LOL. Yeah I get it. The center section has a couple "formed" areas to follow the contour and the edges are "capped" so it's pretty clean looking. You might be able to get a non janky look. Link to comment

KevinG Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I bet you can too. I wasn't so bummed about the $200 for the rash guards, I was more pissed that a $1200 bumper lasted a half of a day on the trail before I needed to add $200 to keep it straight. . I get that a lot of guys have tow packages they want to keep, but would have been a lot nicer to offer it boxed instead of the cutouts for the hitch. It's the big reason I went back to the Evo facia thing for a while. Link to comment

AJK Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Had a good week in Sand Hollow Utah. Need to replace front pinion and hub bearings now, because I have movement and noise. Also, the Evo front frames mounts are toast and ovaled out bad making for clunking all day. Trails we hit… · The Barracks near Zion · The Maze · The Fallen · Plan B · The Ledges · Double Sammy · Tripple 7’s · Papa Smurf · And all the West Rim. · We also did a 150 miles trail exploring from Az back into Utah. At least I got to end the year and start the year wheeling and not have a major break like I did last year. 4 4 Link to comment

Going to 3 link front just need to reach out to KrashFab and get his take on things. Right now RPM front is in the cart and I like what he has to offer. 4 Link to comment

Yeah.... LOL.... so my rear frame mounts are fine it was the rear mount on the axles that broke. I would say that break was more because of the shitty welds on the ud60 bracket but also the binding of the rear doesn't help. As for the front the frame mounts that connect to this transmission crossmember are completely fucked. I have ripped off the ud60 track bar and blown out both both upper joints. The front binds up so bad it's just putting a tremendous amount of force on those upper joints. The moment I remove one of the upper a arms on the EVO kit that axle moves in articulates and tucks so much better and is the reason why I really want a three link. 2 1 1 Link to comment
AJK Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 I hated the way the paint came out so I stripped the doors and hit them what a scotch pad to bring the aluminum back. I'm not really a fan of the aluminum on black but may run it. If anything I am going to wrap them myself. Two down 2 to go. 1 Link to comment
Weebz Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Always wanted to buy a cheap gun and try painting something. Link to comment

AJK Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 So next week I plan to cut off the front end, buckets, bumps and everything on the axles. I need to replace a pinion bearing so while I have the axle out I have been thinking of welding the tubes at the pumpkin since I am putting the 3 link to the pass side. Any suggestions on this process? 1 Link to comment
Weebz Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Thoughts on welding the tube or linking to passenger side? Link to comment

Weebz Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I mean. I’m no expert nor have an opinion on it. So glad I wasted your time asking. lol. 3 Link to comment
Gruff Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I'm staying at a Holiday Inn Express tonight - I'll let you know for sure in the morning 4 Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 My opinion is that it is more of a thing to spin a tube on the rear. Never have seen one spin on the front of anything short of a rock bouncer. If you do, research what rod to use, and use a lot of pre heat on the cast side. 1 1 1 Link to comment
