I had them cut by Mindliss MetalFab.

And those are pivot joints, from Ballistic Fabrication. They are much nicer than the Suicide Doors ones. Better quality, more articulation, easier to rebuild.

I can't personally compare them to Johnny Joints. But if its from Currie I bet its quality, as all their stuff is. But as far as I know most of them are a cast housing, with a threaded rod. I need these to weld straight to the link bar, so these were my choice.

I wasn't aware. I can't get Currie stuff at wholesale pricing though... I'd try it if I could.


Truck is mostly disassembled. I have tomorrow off, so after I replace my exhaust gasket and build a heat shield I will finish teardown, and cut the frame off.
