I think he said he was using stock sidekick knuckles...

The more I look at it the smaller I think it is than it looks - I'm thinking a steering brace for the idler arm, or steering box ......

I think he's right. I looked at the thing real hard for about the past hour. I havent been following the article. (been off the forum a while). Using a OEM knuckes... the mounting plate has about the right spacing...  That is the best idea that I can come up with myself since it is "front suspension related. On a custom rig, this is a hard guess. The only thing that I can think of that a person would want bolt on is differential mounts and the mounting points for suspension components. All mounts would be welded, not bolt on. That one suspension peice is all I can consider.

...but who knows... the front end of the rig doesn't appear to be the only thing he has that's bent. ;)

ok I know this is a far one but can you do a suspension or adapt the design from the H1 to give clearance and keep the drive shafts in line i do not know of another vehicle that uses this but or a 2 piece shaft to break up the extreme angles...does this make sense.....
