Great point! There might not have been other options available to them.

Easy one, i got this.....change your TRESure, but then you get home and......?
Old school shit is often sketchy. Especially compared to new stuff. I’m just guessing but I think JJ’s have only been around 20years or so. From what I see these are some really old school builds. All motor sports have come a long way in that time. You wouldn’t believe what went down the drag strip in the late 60’s and 70’s at over 200mph. That’s not to say you should build it that way today but if it ain’t broke and it passes tech? Run that shit!

20yrs + ago we didn't have these nice JJ and hiem joints we do now. These TRE were used to solve a problem we had back then. That problem doesn't exist much today. Everything is easy to find online. Around here they used to build heavy 1 ton and rockwell rigs on 44s was normal for Crawling around Disney, Flat Nasty, Hot Springs etc... It worked back then. The Orange Jeep was built in 2006 and still used to this day on hard trails. He has never broke a link. Why change or try another joint? Should he change them if better joints are available now? Even though they have never broke?
I only started this thread and asked as anyone seen this? Not agrue about how its better then modern day hiem joints. Never once said that. Only the guys who flilped their keyboard warroir caps on backwards was making these statements.
Ps. I also deleted my post to the other website just a few min. After I posted it.

It would be cool to mount a go pro somewhere you could watch the tre’s and how they move as the axles articulate and twist. Entertaining the theory of using them just for argument sake. The lower control arms at the axle side would be most concerning to me. Are they using them there also? Most likely spot to take a hit and pop the socket out.
I absolutely agree this is not how it should be done anymore. We have much better hardware now. Still interested to see how it may have worked. At the very least it makes an interesting thread for awhile. Thanks for sharing!
