The funny thing about your wife being upset.... Mine was more mad for not handing I over to Mel! I ended up taking too long( over a month) to do the work, and I will end up taking it to them anyway to do more work. Should have just done it all at once as planned.

I LOVE looking at those monster control arms!!! They look like driveshafts :drool:

Believe it or not, we managed to break off one of those 'monster links' lower control arms during King of the Hammers. Don't know when it happened, but we probably had driven without it for quite awhile. When we pulled ourselves out of the race due to the broken flex plate and were under the race car Mel noticed the only piece left of the lower rear driver's side control arm was 2/3rds of a johnny joint connected to the axle. Anything and everything is breakable, but for 99.9% of those buying EVO Monster Links, I am pretty certain they have nothing to worry about......ever. When you own the company that makes the kit, you tend to push the equipment harder than anyone else ever will attempt to :icon_crazy:

Sorry for the late reply, I totally drop the ball on answering your edited question.
EVO1 runs an aftermarket transfer case, the best in the world, an Advanced Adapters 'Atlas'
The transfer case skid plate you see is all custom and actually has to be cut away to remove the Atlas T-case. The little 'drain plug' looking bump on the skid is actually a GoPro camera mount........this photo was prior to the race, I'm not sure the camera mount is still there :thinking:

Factory.....

To be fair, I bet you broke a control arm bolt, when the arm dropped at race speed it just ripped the JJ off

Is the factory strong enough? Will it flex enough with the EVO long arm?

Yes, yes and yes.

I appreciate you helping me out. :thumb:
One last question. I did notice over the weekend with the 3.5" I have now the axle was perfectly centered on the rear. Going up say a 1" would it make a difference? I'm assuming not since it's a inch.

When you get in your jeep it'll throw the axle off. Yes 1" will matter. Weight and height will change your axle around.

Think of it this way, your axle is centered at ride height parked, soon as you start hitting bumps( jeeps going up and down) your axle goes off center as the suspension cycles.
You won't notice the 1"...
After installation, it will be centered with the EVO equipment. I'm running the stock one... No need to spend the extra $!

Thank you for your offer on the Poison Spyder cross member but I think I'm going to buy it new through Northridge tomorrow. You should post it up on the sale thread.
