I don't think the issue is with the heim itself, its the way its secured. There's a technicality involving cotter pins or something

Heims fail, they are not approved by the dot, although in my opinion, they are stronger then tre's. But there are too many idiots out there that would **** it up, not to mention, in order to run Heims, you need to weld up your own links, which is a hole other story. so they will never technically be legal. Honestly though, if you make it look pretty, I doubt anyone would hassle you.....I however inspect my own junk, so..... Haha

I am now using the great commonwealth of PA for unemployment. I'm such a great citizen. I got fired for no good reason. Then unemployment offered to pay me more than I was making at JLG due to the much larger amount of money I was making at the job I had before that. Who wouldn't want to go for the easy money. Now if I could just find an under the table job I'd be set lol.
Jake, let's do the u joints and pinion seal and I'll join you guys on the upcoming trip.

I have been in Pittsburgh for two weeks and leaving soon. Just thought I would comment on all these hills. Wish I had my XJ with me to hit some of these trails I see from the interstate.
