"Not to sound like a dick , but as i remember we already seen high price steering system from 4x4parts that failed its test offroad." What kind of question is that? We had been testing this system in many different configurations before it was even a twinkle in 4x4parts eyes.
To my knowledge, they saw one of the many prototype systems that SLR was testing at the SEMA show and tried to beat SLR and my design to the market.
It obviously failed.
This design isn't remotely close to 4x4parts' design.
"did you test your system offroad ?" SLR's manufacturing process starts by choosing the right materials for each job, which ensures that products are designed to outlast and out perform OE parts. The rest of the manufacturing process includes prototype machining, MIG/TIG welding, CNC machining, laser cutting, flame cutting, and most importantly, building off of consistently produced fixtures. After each prototype part is built, it must withstand SLR's testing process. In this testing process, parts are subjected to all types of climates and high and low speed freeway/city driving conditions. After testing, parts are then disassembled and sent to SLR's engineering department for analysis. In this analysis stage, parts will be tested and checked for any cracks and unusual signs of wear. Our engineering department also determines what changes need to be made to improve our production-orientated parts. The majority of SLR's parts go through 3-6 months of testing before they are released to the public. Despite the rigorous testing these products are put through, they are made to improve the longevity of components on your truck and not to make it into a race-orientated vehicle.
"what kind of trails did you test it on?" All types--pounding desert trails to crawling, highway to city
"got pictures?" What kind of pictures are you looking for?
"would you waranty it from falling apart on the first offroad trip ?" Your Xterra will fall apart before my steering system will.
If you run all of SLR's steering components, I have no problem warrantying my steering system against any manufacturing or material flaws. Wear points are wear points on SLR's steering system.
Obviously, I have no control over how people choose to use their vehicles and will not warranty obvious abuse of the components. "Having a pic of the truck in the shop is great, but most of the people who will purchase this WILL take their truck offroad , and will beat the snot out of it" Are you new to this board? Have you not seen any of SLR's testing videos? All of SLR's videos have SLR prototype products "having the snot beat out of them". These products include Stages 4 & 5 of our suspension lift and our new steering components.
