I broke it. Specifically the rear tri-link ball joint mount. I already needed a new tri-link which was like 150 and that mount is like 360 used. So I'm thinking about just getting the bolt on tri-link by jeepinbyal since I need this fixed before deer season in 2 weeks.

All the ones that I could find online atleast. I was thinking about just upgrading to the bolt on 4 link. The one Facebook page keeps pushing a 4 link from a guy in Russia.

I went to the local junk yards and took all the ones I could find. I have an extra laying around if you want to buy it. I paid $75 for it. I'll let it go for exactly that + shipping.

I don't have a tri-link anymore went to a 4 link + truss.

I was thinking of just going with the bolt on 4 link since the tri-link is dead too. Plus jba is within a days shipping from me. I just want to make sure the jba bolt on 4 link is worth it since it's almost 700 bucks with the upgraded end links

not dissing the product but it is made and designed for American roads and trails. Generally your worst roads are better than our best roads.

These are the types of roads Tog and I drive on. Those corrugations are like 10 million speed bumps all lined up one after the other. Drive that for hundreds of kilometres. They will shake a vehicle apart! Often you need to go off the road all together and drive in the drainage ditches.

Lowered tyre pressures do help. A lot of people just hit them really fast to try and glide over the top of them. I don't like doing that as its really dangerous, especially if not in 4WD Full time. Then you have the big dust holes that you cant see until youre on top of them.
