Finally two more things:

A couple days ago I updated the RCLT HD Product Page with the following 8 images from the Final Prototype:

















And an impromptu video of various short clips related to the new images

And beings I won't be able to update this thread for a while since I have a sh*t ton of marketing and install instructions to finish, please follow my Facebook posts which are easiest for me to post for the time being: .

For example, two days ago Yesterday I and today I In conclusion, I am extremely proud of the final design and truthfully it's the only one I feel 110% confident for public use. On my build thread I compared the prototypes in terms of market viability as Version One a 0 out of 10, Version Two a 4 out of 10, and the final version an 8 out of 10. Looking back, for this to be true, then the Production Design is a 15 out of 10 with the LCA much stronger and the Knuckle extremely much stronger (see above image). I can't wait to see these out on the trails across the States! I am definitely gonna become emotional the first one I see out in the wild!!

I'll follow-up here to announce the start of Pre-Orders and again when kits get picked up by UPS. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this dream and invention a reality!

I’m going to go with the “yeah right” response to this and seeing will be believing. I suppose the taco box had the same issues and the mar rack fixed it as well.

good luck if waiting on MC

 

woke up to the email of preorders starting today

 

Big countdown for a button to sign up for updates

 

in two hours we will see

 

What’s the total cost of this system ?

 

That counter already went to zero. I saw it at 22 minutes then went back 25 minutes later and all they did was add a description.

 

At that point just let it go negative lol

 

prolly 6-7k for the arms and everything that moves, maybe 2 k for rcv shafts cause... long travel, and maybe under 1 k for the rack anddddd not including what ever long travel coil overs....of course this is a guess

 

originally i expected 10-15k. but with prices of everything going up i bet it will be north of 15k

 

Looks like the price point changes depending on where you want to spend extra on upgrades after the $7k base cost of the IFS components

Total Cost Overview based on the above
Standard installation of RCLT HD:
$286.79 (MarRack) + $750 (Inner Axle Shafts) + $1,679.95 (Icon Coil overs) = $2,716.74 needed parts
$6,999 RCLT + $2,716.74 needed parts = $9,715.74 total

Ultimate installation of RCLT HD:
$461.03 (MarRack) + $2,195 (Ultimate CV Set) + $1,974.00 (Radflo, adj.) = $4,630.03 needed parts
$6,999 RCLT + $4,630.03 needed parts = $11,629.03 total

 

I'm holding out for the +3.5" or being able to adapt the marrack to my current LT which I doubt is going to be an option.

 

Really was hoping the install instructions would be done as part of the pre-order.

@BigMike you said they will be done before shipping. I am holding out till I see the install details.

 

Ohhh boy, finally out for pre-order. Time to cashout that life insurance policy.

 

Can I run bypass shocks with this kit?

 

looks like the pre order is 7k.

 

Now all we gotta do is confirm if this will work with jdfabs lca mounts

 

How much additional travel do you get with this kit?
