Sorry, man, but it's worth the wait! Maybe by the time you order SL/AEV will have worked out the problems with the rear arms and the tire rubbing. I noticed KMAX's Back To Moab thread below where he mentions the rear arm brackets getting all banged up. I had the same experience. They hang down way too far and every time it flexes, the 285s rub the door flare enough to pop the rivets. Bent arms attached to the OEM pivot point (like El Cid has) would certainly be an improvement that shouldn't cost a lot.
The other thing I ran into was that during heavy rear flex, the driveshaft (balancing weight?) catches on the fuel tank skid plate and bends it down. It has been slowly tearing away at the plastic driveshaft bellows. It looks like the skid plate will need some trimming.
Good points man. Thats actually one reason ive been trying to generate interest in other manufacturers to make a kit for the XK/WKs... without any competition I don't foresee SL improving their kit at all. It does however have me considering Rustys version to get the adjustable rear arms.
what is the YOUTUBE link for the videos?
I was only there for Day 1 and Day 2. These are all from Day 2 though, I didn't take many pics Day 1..
