4x4 labs!

PARANOID56 · 05-23-2007, 10:37 PM

if it has the large bolt pattern knuckles then yes it will fit.

poor boy pulling · 05-23-2007, 11:01 PM

mean man michael · 05-23-2007, 11:35 PM

Better in every way.

orangefj45 · 05-24-2007, 07:17 AM

yup, buy them from 4x4labs, marlin crawler or all pro offroad.

poor boy pulling · 05-24-2007, 07:36 AM

is there somthing wrong with trail gear or somthing? just wondering because noone says to go with them?

You can do some searches on TG to find out why people do not like them so much.

Start with the search term Trail Mart

orangefj45 · 05-24-2007, 07:56 AM

nothing wrong with their parts. ethics are a different story though.......

PJohnson · 05-24-2007, 08:07 AM

It's good to get an entire High Steer setup if you can. That way, you're less likely to have any mistakes in compatability of the arms to the drag-link and tie-rod.

I currently run Marlin's setup and have run All-Pro's in the past. I was quite happy with both.

well im building somthing that is stronger then there hysteer or about the same and i just need the arms that are thicker and stronger

PARANOID56 · 05-24-2007, 08:23 AM

well, i am going to go againsts the grain again

there is nothing wrong with Trail Gear. they sell great parts. there parts are = to allpro and marlin. so pick what you want. I usualy let my pocketbook do the talking, as my other half is happer with that

I still get great products, great customer support and get my parts quick.

just pick what you want.

My wifes 4Runner is 99% Trail-Gear... Can't complain about the quality or the price IMO.

Rockzar · 05-24-2007, 11:34 AM

you will be stoked with the 4x4 labs stuff. And if there are any problems- they are awesome to deal with and will correct it immediately. You will be glad you went with them.

cheers!

Did you do a search like was suggested in an earlier post?

megolfer · 05-24-2007, 05:44 PM

Good luck, hopefully it dosent break on you. Also dont use their pitman arm. I have seen pictures of their broke in half.

poor boy pulling · 05-24-2007, 05:50 PM

the 3/4 inch bolt in my pitman are with break before the arm will, and yes i didn and i have heard good and bad about them and have talked to friends that haver bought from them and never had a problem, the arms are the same as marlins arms. that and i think there pretty sure there parts wont break if there is a no question life time garantee

megolfer · 05-24-2007, 05:57 PM

The arms are not the same as marlins arms, they may look the same but they are not. Unless they have changed the way they were made, when they first opened i have seen some pics of the pitman arms broke in half. I know they are not the same as marlins, not even made in the same place.
