Default Made some new TLT axle link mounts

Cut from alu angle with a Dremel, I still need to drill the holes to mount them to the axle and for the links. On the longer bracket, towards the outer end I'll be drilling a couple of extra holes to keep the bracket tight to the axle and from pulling away.
Any thoughts?

True, but I like making parts. Plus, mounting the stock link mounts in the typical place was all sorts of rubbing on the tires at lock, with these the links will be far enough in so they don't hit except maybe just a tad at full lock.
Here they are with the holes drilled.

You should use these as templates and make another that connects the two together, truss-like and incorporate an upper link mounting point too.

Cool i recentley built some custom front bottom link mount for my rig.I made them so the links would mount slightly lower to make room for a custom bta setup.They look a bit differant than youres but shit works good.Im with ya man its fun building youre own shit.

Crawlers used to be all built not bought,buy a set of axles and start building.
