Tj Steering

[RatherBeJeeping]

I've dealt with folks from RE, I know someone frome FT, I've bought from C4WD and I can name 2 owners of 4wd shops that I think are morons.

I'm not impressed.

Central 4WD (in Sac.)
2 Local 4wd shops

From talking to a bunch of different sources, the consensus is that the currie system isn't much better than stock.

I'd like to know what comprised your consensus? Anyone who makes that statement is either a used car salesman or a moron with no experience.

There may be better systems depending on the criteria you use to define better.

But, to claim that solid, forged, heat treated chromemolley significantly larger in diameter and far stronger, as well as being resilient as "not much better than stock" is not only ludicrous, but false.

I dare any manufacturer to supply a stronger, easier to install, no hassle system for the TJ for less money.

I have a combo, the currie drag link and the poison spyder tie rod. All because my stock steering got bent like a coat hangar. If you compare the currie to the stock you can easily see how much stronger they are. It's like comparing a stick to a log.

That's one of the setup ups I was thinking serously about.. you know I like PSC stuff. Ended up with the U-turn

sorry, I've been gone awhile, but I had to respond... you're damn lucky I don't ban you for that blatantly unfounded and absolutely wrong statement.

not only that... you better think twice about accepting a spot from me in Moab.

that is all.

all said that they "liked" (read - in their opinion) the U-turn steering better than the Currie system.

So...you can take what they say, as I did, with a grain of salt and make your own judgement.

For me.. I had to cancel my Currie Steering System order, to get the U-Turn. we'll see how it all turns out.

Best,

PS... remember I'm a janitor... I try not to make "unfounded" statements!

the info is for the guy who cam with me on the rubicon this year, John. He totalled the front end of his jeep and is looking for the best stuff out there to put it back together with.

If he decides to go with Currie and you find a good source let me know, I could use a few things too. It's hard to find Currie stuff discounted, it's that good.

I have the currie steering set-up, never had any trouble with it...the info is for the guy who cam with me on the rubicon this year, John. He totalled the front end of his jeep and is looking for the best stuff out there to put it back together with.

i have heard good things about that set up.
i wound up building my own steering. i was looking into the orw stuff, but i wanted to get the steering out of the rocks just as much as i wanted to beef it up.
there is a thread on it in the swb section someplace.
i have been very happy with it. it is made with 1-1/4" DOM tubing, and 1 ton tie rod ends.
beefy stuff. also, it is moved to the top of the knuckle.
i'm sure something very similar could be done with your tj's as my yj

Well I don't know if it's awesome or not.. I've only wheeled it once and driven about.. 1000 miles with it. It feels awesome, but it'll take a few "rocky encounters" before we know how good it is or isn't.

Don't worry, I'm not afraid to post that it rules! ... or that it sucks!

[igofshn]

Your set up is awesome. I'd love to do it but not at that price.

[flywaterguide]

I really liked the Currie and wanted to get it. Then I saw this steering, compared them both, and chose the U-Turn. Only time and wear and tear will show if it's better, worse, or just the same as the Currie.

Best!

The currie stuff is pretty hard to beat. I'm running the steering system, have bashed it on rocks no problem, the tie rod is soild bar not a tube the whole damm thing is strong, far stronger then the stock one as not mentioned above. First off there's no hole in the middle of the draglink for the stabilizer where many bend and the ends are huge. Replacement parts is the catch, these are specially made for Currie...
As my RE stuff wears out I'll replace it with Currie (need a source, ft. traclbar first) it just makes sense, imo.
