Default Didnt jump on the mod band wagon
Yup I held off on modding this thing until now and thank god with STRC/AXIAL/VP releasing new products every other week i think there will be enough choices for everyone

I just ordered all the axial stuff and a few STRC products

that STRC steering kit looks killer

i picked up everything STRC offered for the yeti lol. still working on getting it all on but it seems very well made so far. thinking of replacing the lower and upper link's rod ends with some heims from mcmastercarr. need to find the correct sizing though.

I bought some of the STRC stuff, and was not real satisfied with the product especially the finish on them. Ordered all gun metal color, all 3 items were a different shade :/ emailed them with no response...
Should have ponied up for the extra money for the axial parts.

For the most part my wallet picks the parts..but I'm particularly happy with VP and the finish on axials stuff

Seems like it may be a weak point as well, but not as bad as HR/STRC/GPM/whomever else with the press fittings.

Exactly...I'll take steel over aluminum any day, no matter what color the aluminum is.
