I know a number of guys running RK kits and parts. They are very pleased. Does anyone have experience with their springs? I don’t but club members do and don’t complain. I’ve also heard good reviews on the RK joints as well as the Clayton joints. Without personal experience I won’t say but I will say after 3 years of JJ’s in NY all the joints needed major overhaul or replacement.
Well, we have directly observed gravitational waves since then, so there is that…
Did scientific models predict the phenomenon of NVH reduction through Rock Krawler bushings that was previously not well understood until very recently?
I wasn't around the forum or into TJs when all of that discussion took place (a forum search indicated it took place as long ago as 2019). However, in my mechanical career, we used shaker tables and other rigs to test parts for durability. I became a skeptic of that technology over the years, and I think I've pointed out why on this forum before. Those devices require a very accurate load case to be developed in order to load the part exactly as it's loaded in use. Developing that load case is very difficult, time-consuming, and not for the faint-at-heart. The analogy I would use is that developing the load case is to lab testing as prep-work is to painting. About 95% of the time spent in lab testing should be spent developing the load case.
And, it'll be evidence of a very low IQ for most Jeep owners.
If those imbeciles stay in business, anyone can. And, it'll be evidence of a very low IQ for most Jeep owners.
