Well done. How’s it working out ?

[@engineeringoverland]

Thanks! Still going strong. Not a single issue.

[@JF32304]

What a sweet build man!!

[@engineeringoverland]

Thank you!

[@Algerbruh]

Awesome vid bro. You can tell the work/editing you put into these vids and it makes a huge difference in quality.

[@engineeringoverland]

Thanks man! I appreciate that! I'm glad it shows.

[@xmo552]

@@engineeringoverland How do they hold up? I have 3 year old IRO adjustable short arms on mom's stock height daily driver WJ. 3 years later of road driving and they're junk.

[@danielrutledge8974]

I did this and all available for track bar and long arm on front and adjustable rear arms. Very happy but it does make driveline noisier.

[@engineeringoverland]

Yeah solid joints in place of bushings always increases vibration and noise. I haven’t put them on my track bar but all my control arms have them already.

[@ddforshort]

Curious to hear what you think of it after 10 months. Still working well?

[@engineeringoverland]

No issues. Still good as new.

[@phennig2003]

I thought you were suppose to assemble it then install like the lift? Not the case?

[@engineeringoverland]

The problem with assembling it beforehand is you would be pressing it in by applying pressure to the ball joint rather than directly through the sleeve. I believe if you use the kit from IRO you insert only one metal plate first, but still wouldn’t assemble the entire joint until after the sleeve is pressed in.

[@joeyd2715]

Nice, informative. Hated having to adjust volume for the annoying choice of noise.

[@engineeringoverland]

I appreciate the feedback. Always working on improving. Different headphones/speakers seem to make a big difference in the volume levels.

Thanks for the video :) Dude get yourself a propane tank top garage heater. Best $50 you will spend if you have an unheated garage.

[@engineeringoverland]

Once I move, I plan on getting some source of heat for the garage. I hate working in the cold lol.

[@dannyw7662]

Those burn propane fast. Get a salamander kero heater

[@joeyd2715]

Also did it come from that place in Shakopee where I bought my lift kit that I still have to install?

[@engineeringoverland]

The Flex Joint is from Iron Rock Offroad

[@ronaldc1582]

Great video .iam getting ready to do mine .

[@engineeringoverland]

Thanks! Hope the video could be helpful! Good luck with yours.

[@looneytoonryderz]

What size lift do you have?

[@engineeringoverland]

8 inches

[@timjd7964]

Not saposta be centered?

[@engineeringoverland]

Nope. You might think so, but it tapers from a smaller diameter to a larger diameter so it only presses up to the point of the larger diameter. The factory bushing is also off-center.

[@theartofoffroad1988]

Where did the flex joint come from? Is that IRO?

[@engineeringoverland]

Yup, IRO.
