The phrasing of this question is a little tricky, but I'll try to make it clear in the first try or the second try of the question: 1> When setting the upper and mid radius rod length, do you have to turn the center relative to both ends (right hand thread and left hand thread ends) or if you get close, can you then turn one end an extra half turn one way or the other if needed? OR 2> To try and be more clear: When you turn the center a half turn and hold the ends fixed, the total length increase is a half turn of the screw at one end plus a half turn of the screw at the other end, so a half turn of the radius rod gives a full turn of the screw length with just half of it being at each end. If you needed to get that little bit more length than what a half turn of the radius rod center can give you: Could you just turn one end a half turn without moving the center or the other end or would that cause problems?
Take a look at the XMX frame inserts. They make reassembly of the radius rods a lot easier and fix the alignment issues cause by the ovalled or out of spec bolt holes in the frame. I have the same suspension as CeeJ on my car and did the entire job by myself. The frame inserts make the rear end easier and reinforce the frame.
@@GLifeUTV Unfortunately quality costs a lot of money ! lol I need to figure out how to be lucky and get stuff like that donated. For what i have in my XRC i could of bought a new 2021 vette ! LOL ! But a new Vette wouldn't give me the memories my XRC has given me and will keep on given me.
Rigs looking good! I'd recommend replacing the stock radius rod bolts too as the stockers are a known weak point especially with those beefy rods on the back.
Ive only really heard of people breaking the center rod bolt at the hub.. but we installed the shocktherapy toe link support. Which has a bigger diameter size bolt..🤔 either way thanks for the input Craig🤙 appreciate it
Lube and a press.. make sure not to push on the center section or it will get damaged. U need the perfect die or socket to use around the exterior of the radial joint. They are almost impossible to not destroy removing from the old arms. So buy new ones
Great video! I wish I could have watched it before I installed my LM-UTV radius rods, unfortunately stock radius rods were all bent so I had nothing to reference against...took some trial and error. My LM-UTV lower radius rods rub a little bit on the frame (on the bulge that comes out for the toe-link/center radius rod), I'm curious if you will have that issue.
We were informed of that possibility by another viewer.. apparently thats why lmutv redesigned there rods recently. Tim told us some zrp dog bones might space them out enough. So they are on order 👍... Thanks for the input bro.. appreciate it🤠🍻
@@GLifeUTV Good idea with the ZRP dog bones, I think I will order some of those, if anything they will help with all the slop in the back end. I was amazed how you can loosen up the 6 nuts at the radius rod plate and move everything around quite a bit (I also still have the stock plate...need to upgrade that as well $$$).
yo frank! what's you opinion on a good option for trailing arms on a budget? I bent one of mine on a roll over, so I'm looking to replace them with after Market ones. i was looking at hcr sportline or high lifters.
Is he keeping the front stock lower arms. I need to replace my bent one. Also on the rear radius rods, double check camber and toe when finished. I made mine exactly to stock in the were off. And they were never be by.
He has the arms sold. Sorry bro..So far alignment is okay. But wont know for sure until front suspension done and car on the ground.. have to get the scrub out of it and let it settle. Thanks bro🤟
@@GLifeUTV I’m on shock therapy website and there is 3 measurements that are of 5/8. The 5/8 Inch TLS Kit (5/8 Rod End On Aftermarket Radius Rods), ZRP Billet Radius Rods (Using 5/8 Uniball), and S3 5/8 TLS Kit (Using 5/8 Uniball). Would it be the first one or which one ?
For an x3.. safety first.. if u dont have 4 point belts, get some.. fire extinguisher, extra belt... Mods to vehicle.. radius rods and shock therapy toe link support. Front tmw gusset kit. And 32in tires.. after that depending on how crazy u drive a cage🤘.
Once a again 🔥 video. I have a question. I want to get my lighting wired up . Do you do install for people other than your homies? I live in OSide Califaz. Your wiring work is clean, I’m am carpenter by trade and was going to give it a whirl but instead of me trying to fck with it I’d rather hire a pro . That car is coming out bad ass , looks like feria is not a issue as no expense has been spared up to this point. Happy new year to you and yours homie 👊🏼👌🏼
12mm bolt. They change to 12m in 2019 if i remember correctly. Some companies only provide the 12mm and u just have to drill out the hole in the a arm to the bigger size.👍
Damn bro another dope video. I used your FRANKGLIFE15 coupon code and the guys at LM are sending me the new Gen4 kit. I’m using the XMX Engineering rear plates to help brace the frame bolts. You gotta do a FrankGLife ride out bro! Let us know and make a day out of it.
Clean af!! 🔥🔥
Thanks for the discount code, I just ordered a set of the Radius Rods 👊🏻

Yes once you are close. You can adjust a half turn on one side if need be👍
@@GLifeUTV Thanks a bunch, Frank!
Try some TECH 735 bead seal when you assemble your beadlocks & tires, I put it on both the tire & rim, they won't slow leak.
Great tip
Thanks bro
Looking doooope!!!! I would get every gusset kit / frame brace... cuz that Can Am is flexxxxxing hard now.

Thank you brother. 🤟🤟🤟🤟 U rock
Very nice set up my friend.The HCR suspension is phenomenal as i have it on my 19 XRC but only mine is powder coated white .
Thr HCR is insane. I see why they ask for the price they do

Thats true.. so much invested in these machines.. kinda crazy. A c8 would of been nice😅

Does 5/8 lmutv rods require new bolts to fit them, just picked up a set of lmutv rods, pullplate and dog bones, and tls kit. Would that all i need?
Wow that look baddass!!!
I think so too.. color combo works👍
Good looking out on the discount code just order mines. keep pushing out the good content.
🤣🤣🤣 Christian Mingle. You crazy asses. Great video bro!
These guys apparently know to many of these dating sites😂😂😂
Now I'm tempted to swap my BFG's for Tensor's
I went from the 32 km3 to the the 33 tensors.. and this last trip at King of the Hammers, These tires where a lot more plush in the high speed whoops.
@@GLifeUTV ive heard the tensor wear fast. Any opinions on them vs the km3 for the desert? Thanks!
@@charlesparmenter5515 i would choose the bfg over reliability and wear. The tensors are better for comfort.
@@GLifeUTV thanks for the reply. Love your videos. My shocks are out getting done now. So it should ride a lot better.
Dam bro fuckers bad af! That bronze just killed it 🤩
I know. I wasnt for it st first. Colors look amazing together
Your channel is hilarious and super informative 👌
Thanks bro🙏👍
Good videos bro. Keep posting them.
Thanks bro
Great video!!! What type of grease do you use for the HCR bushings and wheel bearings
Most marine grease will work great. I like red and tacky
The ST tls kit you got for the lmutv rods... was it the s3 tls kit that works for those rods ?
Its the 5/8 heim option
Awesome video! You guys are funny shit lol
Thanks bro🤙
How’d you get the front bearings in and out! Fighting it right now!

Any tips for installing the Radial Joint on the hcr trailing arms????
Lube and a press.. make sure not to push on the center section or it will get damaged. U need the perfect die or socket to use around the exterior of the radial joint. They are almost impossible to not destroy removing from the old arms. So buy new ones
8:41 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Frank, How did you install the rear radial knuckle joint back into the trailing arm?
Not sure what you mean?. Whats given you trouble. You should be able to pop the knuckle back into the trailing arm? Hit me up on IG

What color bronze is that? Looks bad ass bro!
I asked cj he is unsure
