how is the scrub in the steering? It says how lacking the Bronco is to go to the extreme to make portals for it, and to put them on an IFS.

These look sick, but one thing I can't stop thinking about is that I don't understand why they didn't build it all into new knuckles? It is weird to me that these just get tacked onto the outside of the existing knuckles. It is certainly a simpler engineering solution, but seems unnecessarily heavy and more points of failure. Maybe for a version 2.0. Or am I crazy and just plain wrong :)

There are several factors. The biggest being 74 weld is not the right application for a highway vehicle. There system though great for off-road racing will face many issues on a daily driver. The biggest thigh is experience. Tibus has decades of experience 74 only a couple years.

was the alignment off? noticed the steering wheel was cock-eyed when going straight. also, with the portals, that vehicle is 10" wider. do you need to have the three lights on the grill to comply with lighting requirements like the bronco raptor? it might actually be too wide to go through the narrow trails in my neck of the woods!
