Drilling Knuckles

[DankjeeP]

Calling yourself out for the hostility is a nice gesture I guess?

You deleted the funny part, haha I doubt any carbon bits are going to be offended.

Let's break it down.
I said:
Carbon bits are not the best choice
You said:
Carbon bits are fine, go slow
I said:
Yes they will work but be careful
You said:
You are a jerk for saying carbon bits want work

I now say get a fucking life.

You didn't say they weren't the best choice. You said the WILL break. That was a false statement. I said they worked fine for me, disproving your original false statement. You never said they will work, but be careful. You said if they are off in the slightest they WILL break again. And got all defensive. I'm sorry if facts hurt your feelings.

Edit. I do want to say I disagree with banning people for being mildly offensive. Sure he got upset because the facts don't agree with his statement and used a little bit of colorful language but I wasn't offended in the slightest. It's a discussion forum, people will disagree. They'll get defensive. It's not that big a deal.

I ended up drilling the knuckle and adding the RC flipped DL and TB bracket yesterday and everything went smooth. Here is the RC flip DL (top) compared to stock DL (bottom), its basically the same thing just with the rod end on top and a zerk fitting:

I used the DEWALT black oxide, reduced shank, drill bit and I am not exaggerating, it took less than 5 minutes to drill that knuckle

The RC TB clears the Synergy brace bearing pretty well. If it wouldn't have cleared, I was just going to remove it and leave the brace, but its all is good:

Here's a shot of the DL and TB parallel with a WAY better angle. Took it for a test drive and steering feels like I don't even have a 6.5" lift and 40's - pretty amazing for an affordable RC part.

I’m sure you didn’t, but don’t forget to add to your bump stops to prevent your drag link from hitting the frame.

The aluminum ones I hear aren't bad the steel ones on the Mojave are the ones a few people have broke bits on( really cause they try going to fast .)

I swapped in the Mojave knuckles on my rubicon to prevent them from breaking. The aluminum ones were featherweight in comparison.

I looked the price of the steel knuckles wasn't outrageous but ,I'm willing to chance it.

After a few situations where I dropped off a ledge, thinking I knew where the bottom was, but finding out it was 2’ further, I thought I was on borrowed time.

I was wrong, with the 6.5" EVO springs and 40's my JT's height is 6' 11". My JKU was 7' 2", taller by 3" and could not fit in my garage. So yeah, it was not close at all

Height where? The top of my tailgate with 6.5 evo springs is over 5’. And I only have 4.5” springs in the front. I like me some rake.

I think for my pavement princess, those aluminum ones should be good (for now)

With the plush 6.5" EVO springs in front and HD 6.5" springs in rear I still got me some rake too

No question. I did it so I could push them as much as a Mojave can. Then I put shocks on to make it feel as good. Love my Rubijave.

Amazing. I did the 6.5 evo HD in the rear. I have 4.5” rock krawler in the front.

That thing is a monster. I want to park next to you and compare rigs.

Rock krawler is great springs, used them on my JKU as well, no issues at all. The reason I went with EVO is RK only made 5.5" springs and I wanted the JT to sit higher because I'm "insecure"
