That is correct.

All this made of steel priced at gold parts for the yeti----- and all I want is the 2 speed kit.

This seems like one of the largest issues that Need a replacement quality part made for it.

Yeah bling axle housing, shock mounts, trailing arms, rear lock outs, or knuckles are all cool and all.

But what the Yeti Needs a replacement quality part for is the lower hinge pins, Wheels, and hexes.

I would bet it is safe to assume that 50% of ALL the Yetis on this forum have a bent hinge pin or two, if they have some track time, or bashing.

Sounds like Lunsford needs to step up and get some made!

Definitely have bent hinge pins... Besides the obvious damage to them being bent, what issues could they cause if not repaired? I'm waiting to find a solution once I get RPM arms...

It will keep the suspension from cycling freely.

Keep seeing all the this talk of bent hinge pins and after taking mine for a swim yesterday I tear it completely down to clean and go figure one of mine is pretty significantly bent and I had no idea. Both could be bent but might be imagining it because the one is. I hope Lunsford gets in the yeti game. I already couldn't resist taking a leftover titanium steering link from my Revo and throwing it on. They make good stuff.

how narrow of a hub can you run up front with VP SLW rims? I want to run as narrow as possible.

When is the 2 speed tranny kit going to be available ? I can't find any info on this.

Anybody have the width of the outputs on the short version of the BMRC locker for the use of MIP's up front?

EDIT: Maybe also the length from the spool out, on both sides, as well?

Thanks..

Looking to add RC4WD King shocks on my Yeti and want to know which size ones to get . I'm thinking 110 mm for rear and 90 mm up front . The stock numbers are zd0033 for the front ones and zd0030 for the rear ones . My question for you is will these work ?

They will fit, but I would not say that they will work-well.

They will bolt in but they are not enough shock to control the Yeti. Not a good choice.

[sb4pro]

Thanks guys . Any suggestions ?

Good news just checked the UPS tracker looks like my Yeti will be here today ( writing this at 1:14 am east coast time ) . Can't wait to bust it outta the box !!!!

[CrawlinMike]

Dang it. Now I had to delete my replies because they don't make sense without your posts that didn't make sense.
