Thanks guys, I think for the weekend I am going to rig some 550 cord. I mean that automatically bumps me from somewhere around Boot to full on Delta level operator with just the 550 cord. Once I grow the beard back out boom, straight Team Six

The guy who made the bumper explained it to me.

It puts less stress on the bumper/Jeep and more directly on the shackle bolt. And when at a non straight angle which it should be straight anyway it allows the shackle to move instead of the strap.

Theres more to it but thats all i can remember. It makes sense when he explained it.

The tie rod is flipped up Over The Knuckle (OTK) so it's out of the way of rocks.

Yeah, just haven't seen a drag link have a bend like that and attach under the tie rod on other OTK setups

It's to keep the track bar and drag link at the same angle in order to prevent bumpsteer and death wobble.
