Yeah probably the Solid knuckles eventually. For now I think I'm going to plate them and weld the crack. Been reading on this and can't find a downfall. Just a long process to do it right. Any thoughts?

Zack had the gusset kits installed on his GM knuckles, turned out good. They are cast so preheating, & slow cooling is needed to prevent cracking, but if you do it right, works good.

Ok I got another knuckle for now. Still going to plate mine in a few weeks. I got it out of the garage and drove it Saturday. No major issues yet just adjustments on a few things. Just trying to finish or remember all the little things now, we will be up at tsf fri night til Monday, I'm not sure where yet but if anyone sees us stop by and shoot the shit! Hopefully it stays in 1 piece

So after a horrible first run and then missing groundhog I finally got it out for a good tsf run. Made everything but can opener including 7up and mini rubicon! Minor overheating issues and a bad front d line u joint were the only issues, oh and some body damage like normal ha. Planning on going full hydro steering as soon as I can afford it. All said and done its about 3k lighter that the bronco with the same drivetrain. Needless to say it was totally worth it!

Saw the 7up video, that thing works real well. That's quite a weight drop!!
