    So just wanted to say since my last run on Fordyce, I found a few issues with my mistress. The drive line was built to long so back to shop it goes. I also ordered a new Atlas 2 transfer case it will be here in a couple of week. So while its down for a little r&r I thought I would replace a few ball joints in the front with some Hym joints. Maybe a long arm kit since I'm pulling the front end apart. Then finally some RI lights for night running. That's enough for now.

    Yeah!  Upgrades!

    Some small advice based on my past experience.

    If you are playing with joints remember that rubber bushings absorb shocks while hiem joints transfer the shock to your bracket/frame/welds.

    Its usually good to have a combination of joint types unless you are way overbuilding stuff to protect for the transfer case.

    I run poly/graphite, rubicon and hiem joints.  Your tie rod ends would be an exception of course.

    good luck!
