Clay has done a one-off steering set-up on Erin's MJ already . Took him like a day or two to finish .

 You also have to be careful when you grease them and not use an air-fed grease gun.

Curious as to this comment?  My Currie joints have all been good except for two which would not take grease due to an odd shaped grease nipple (defective).   The simple solution is to re-tap the hole and install a new grease nipple.  I have done this countless times on worn-out grease nipples.

Too bad someone local doesn't  sell a kit with some really heavy duty TREs.

 :P

Or stock the Currie TRE's, nobody stocks anything in this town, it's amazing they are still in business with all the deals that are available online. How can they (businesses) expect us to pay more for something when we can easily order it online for hundreds less? Maybe they'll all learn the hard way when the couple of 4x4 shops that are left close for good.

I'm referring to the TRE's and not the JJ's Ron. The instructions state that the TRE's come from the factory already greased and not to use an air fed grease gun when it comes time to grease them. The TRE that connects to the pitman arm on mine  took a long time before it would take any grease. I changed out the zerk fitting and no dice. It was a few months of use before it would take grease. There's a couple of threads on Jeepforum where users had the same problem with that same TRE. No biggie but something to be aware of.
