Product Resources
Features & Product Details
Drivers trust Artec Industries. That's because they specialize in durable Jeep parts to help enhance the off road experience while giving optimal protection to sensitive parts and they know there can be slight variances depending on the Jeep and axle types. The Artec Industries Front Axle Truss With Currie Johnny Joints is made from a sturdy and light design that can take a pounding and still support the axle. 1/4 inch truss top and a ten ga. gusset help to offer added strength to the tubes of both axles.
Features Include
The Currie Johnny Joint version is an optional upgrade. Included are a 2 inch machined (press in) Johnny Joint, a 2 inch Johnny Joint (weldable), and 2 tabs that are keyed for the opposite side (passenger). Greaseable bolts are also included with these two joints.
Note: With this kit, there is general welding that is required to the center section (cast). Additional fitment and grinding may be needed as axles can have slight variances and may need fabrication. Drivers should use a reputable welder.

Had to change the bushings on my Dana 30 before it went into my Comanche. Decided I wanted Johnny Joints and the guys at Northridge 4X4 showed me this kit. Decided for an extra $50 or so a truss was a major upgrade. The instructions are included and are very helpful. I had to grind some material to get the truss to sit right, and had to clamp the sides to the tube. Then I tacked all touching pieces, welded in 1in increments allowing to cool in between, then heated the cast and finished welding everything, and let it cool in a welding blanket for 12 hours. Love how it came out and gives me a little more peace of mind when out on the trail.
