TMR Customs "Lifetime" Heim Joints

[Chris]

Saw this in Crawl magazine at the store today. Thoughts?

Lifetime..... but rebuildable.
The only thing that would concern me is the are warranty against breakage. So if they wear out is that breaking?
I did look at their control arm set for the tj. $2,000. They better be the greatest arms ever.

Those $2000 arms use Johnny Joints. Taken from this page: https://www.tmrcustoms.com/jeep-specific/jeep-tj-lj/jeep-tj-lj-adjustable-control-arms-complete-set

• Utilizes genuine Currie Enterprises Johnny Joints for the ultimate in smooth handling, flex, durability and ease of rebuildability

So they're charing you $2000 for control arms, when Savvy sells the same thing (and in aluminum) for $1100.

Talk about a rip off.

I thought that they would be using their "lifetime" TMR heim joints.

There is a guy on JF who put one on his Metalcloak front track bar about 6 months ago. We are awaiting the long term review.

For that price they better be medical grade titanium arms, in a cool anodized color.

I suppose 6-months is longer than the Metalcloak heim lasts... or so I hear.

Cheap part used in a poor application.

I've got their rear track bar, I had to beat it in on the axle side to fit their bracket, shaved off a little of the rubber in the process. I assume it will be replaced in some time with a currie once it starts to get loose.

To be fair, your bracket may be misshapen. That isn't their fault. In the end, it needs to be a tight fit regardless.

Oh its tight haha

So far so good, and it was a very small amount of rubber. Maybe as thick as two dimes.
