Can anyone identify this steering setup?

[AREA51GENETICS]

It's gone. There are a couple aftermarket 1/4" beefier stock replacement mounts. I think stinky fab is one that comes to mind.

Not that easy when you look at it. It made my head hurt for a second. Looking at it briefly, I would just replace the axle housing with a different one. Then you still have to deal with the frame side track bar mount which would require removing whatever that is that's currently in it's place and weld in a new one.

That is one hell of an abomination that will require quite a bit of work to get it back to "normal". SMH

Yep, the more I look at it the more fucked up it looks. I don’t know who thought this was a good idea or what “problem” they were trying to solve, but reversing it is going to be a project.

Artec industries is another one.

If you got a steering kit like this from RuffStuff RuffStuff Specialties: Dana 44 Complete Y-Link & High Steer Kit (GM 1 Ton)

Or this one: Jeep XJ, TJ, LJ, ZJ & MJ Y Link 1 Ton Steering Kit (ruffstuffspecialties.com)

A trackbar like this from TNT Customs could work also: Jeep TJ Track Bar System 97-06 Wrangler TJ/LJ TNT Customs | Jeep Aftermarket Parts | TNT Customs

TRE are bad. Passanger side is non replaceable.

Looks like a stock draglink, it is replaceable.

The JCR kit looks like it would be the better choice after looking at it.

And it is this...
I just need to Man the F**k up, put some rocks in my purse ...and FIX the problems and install the currie.

You could get new knuckles to fix the issue of it being over the knuckle.

Barnes 4WD has the trackbar bracket you could just weld on for a stock style trackbar:

It isn't gunna be cheap to fix that setup but it will be worth it in the end.

On the other side of things how do you like your AiRock system? You make the 3rd member on here that has this one their TJ's.
My TJ is undergoing a complete make over right now. I have the 6" AiRock system on my TJ.

I'm thinking you are correct on the Knuckles. And that bracket you have shown me is the most reasonably priced one I've seen. As for the AiROCK..... there are days I love it, and then there are days I miss the simplicity of springs.

I really like active mode, and it is great for pulling a loaded trailer.

I can agree with that on the AiRock. More than one person on here has tried to talk me into removing it but in the end I'll keep it.
Did you buy it with the AiRock installed or install it yourself?

I'm a lower right leg amputee so it makes getting into and out of it a lot easier for me. This is what mine looked like before I tore it back down to rebuild it.

I bought it installed. I couldnt pass up the deal. The jeep had only 17,000 miles on it when I bought it.

Did you get it from ORO or? Damn that is REALLY low miles on it. I thought I had low miles on mine. It's a 97 with 82K miles.
But I put a V-8 in it in 2006 along with a new drivetrain.

Check in the For Sale section as there are people parting out rigs all the time and you might find a set of used knuckles. Might as well do new ball joints if you replace the knuckles.

I have the exact body armor you have except all mine is in my living room, kitchen, and closet !!!

 

[Wildman]

You'll find that the Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers are not the best because they mount to your body mounts. If you do a LOT of rock crawling they can damage your body mounts.

What size tire are you planning on running?

Is that a Hanson rear bumper? He made me a custom rear bumper years ago when it was a one man shop for my Nissan pickup with a rear mounted winch.
