K&N would be an unnecessary luxury. Plus, many report that it allows more airflow, therefore more dirt. Standard paper filters are perfect for dusty roads.

Looks cool Mike. I'm assuming this is used to center the axle? When will you have these available? Thanks

It's to lower the vehicle-side panhard bar mount, which puts you more toward the center of the arc again. So yes, it sort of centers it, and is actually a better solution than changing the length of the panhard bar because it's at an angle.
As for availability, it's actually Erik's deal that I just had punched and bent at my real job. This is the prototype. As soon as it's installed and he's got a good comfort level about it, he'll order more and sell them.

Sorry if this is a stupid question...I'm new to all this. For spare tie rods should I get the outer and inner? Is it worth changing them out and keeping my old ones as the spare? Thanks

If it's higher mileage, I would do both inner and outer. Not too hard to do the inners. I just did both inners and outers on my truck - didn't take too long. As for keeping them for spares, if you break one, it's a bad day either way... as for changing them on the trail, you'll need some pretty big wrenches and a pickle fork to pull the joint out of the knuckle. Still, it's up to you.

Sounds great, thanks for the info. I'll be watching for them!
