CoryMJ89 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 looking for steering and saw rustys since I'm running other rustys products so i decided to look there but want some feedback on it let me know what you guys think thanks?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Absolute junk. Dangerous too. As is most of what Rusty's sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have never run it, but have not heard one good thing about it. If you want to run OTK steering, why not buy your self a 1.5" per foot (7.XX degree) reamer and a GM one ton TRE set up? JCR for a more bolt on application or Ruff Stuff for a more custom application. http://www.jcroffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=J&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=1TNST-OTK http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/YLINK.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryMJ89 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Bc I don't wanna build something just want something to drill out and put in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Looks like the rustys kit isn't a bolt on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Bc I don't wanna build something just want something to drill out and put inIf you want pure bolt on, take a look at OROs UTurn.http://www.offroadonly.com/products/new/u-turn/ But really, any OTK set up will not be straight bolt on. The JCR GM one ton set up should only require you to ream the knuckles (drill) for the TRE. Plus you can buy the TRE at any auto part store vs a special order part from Rusty.

64 Cheyenne Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 What about track bar issues caused by this mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that even fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'd consider WJ crossover steering and knuckles, brakes the works.... To go OTK with the stock inverted Y set up...you need to raise the axle end of the track bar, or lower frame end of the track bar mount to match the change in the angle of the drag link you will have some bump steer issues. You can get knuckle inserts from goferit offroad, weld em in, then you must use a flipped export drag link because the stock drag link won't clear the axle when you flip it. http://www.goferitoffroad.com/products.htm http://www.jeep4x4center.com/tie-rod-with-right-hand-drive-52006582.html?utm_source=cj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkenvol Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Do you have a picture of this setup installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Also check out IRO for steering. I use their setup on my trail rig and it works fine. I bought mine used, and its the first gen of their steering. The newer one is refined. In what way, I'm not sure. http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-TOTKS&Category_Code=XST I have also used the already recommended U-Turn steering system by ORO. Very nice complete bolt on.......if you have deep pockets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Also check out IRO for steering. I use their setup on my trail rig and it works fine.... Pretty sure you should have a build thread for said trail rig. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There's a few guys on NAXJA running the froelich stuff. If you contact Kris directly he may be able to meet you somewhere and save you some money on shipping. He comes down to the portland area from time to time to pick up stuff.
