Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Rock krawler makes a great setup! after all the issues I've had with my currie stuff, I would not recommend them.
Thanks for your input. I have been leaning towards Rock Krawler.

My point exactly.. Come axle time about the only thing I would spend my money on is dynatrac. U truly do get what u pay for.
I wonder who actually makes the cartridges for currie.. They say diamond on them, but nothing about currie.. It is a good concept for sure, but needs to be better for the price.. Its a shame there a sponsor here and I've yet to see them post about these issues..
And I'm tired of my friends busting my chops about my overpriced steering pos setup! Lol

I think the Moog part # you need for there setup is 8624... A little search on here or Google will confirm for ya... For the price difference I would hands down go with the RK setup. My brother in law has there lift and drag link and there stuff is solid for sure.

Add me to the list of extremely dissatisfied Currie customers - feel like an idiot for not buying the Rock Krawler steering stuff all my other buddies are wheeling with just fine (No rusting, grease belching, twisting, loosening hardware drama like my Currie Krud).

I'm looking for a new rear sway bar, but I know one thing for certain . . . it won't be Currie.

I taught myself to weld earlier this year. It opens up a ton of new possibilities.

Any problems with the plate spinning? With my friends someone would flip it upside down and I would get pulled over for it.
Not sure in your state but the next step would be to add a light. I believe most states require one?
Now chop the old holder and make a cover for the old plate hole.

I put some rubber bumper pieces behind the plate that push up on the two top lug nuts. That keeps the plate from spinning. Works well too. Not rattling, no noise! Your plate hole cover looks good!
