Probably will mount on but has anyone ever tried it out? The way I see it, you need the part and the mounts. 241 + 138 = 379. Kinda equals in price to Landyot's. So now without a huge price difference I would be more reluctant to try something untested. Now, if many excursion owners towing say 8-9 or more weight say they are as good, well, that is different.

An FTE poster bought the very first kit, and then it took another five months for me to move the other four of the first five radius-rod kits on eBay. There are 260+ replies at the following link, and I guess half are probably my own. Still, all those good folks took the time to speak about their own experience, and out of all those posts, only one gave "neutral" feedback. And those good folks are the reason why the radius-rods remain so popular ... simply because people have put 'em to the test and provided testimony that they work. I agree with "aklim" in that if I had found another product ... shoot, if I had found ANY product ... when I first searched for something that did what the radius-rods do, I would've bought it. But if I had found several from which to choose, then I'd want some comparison advice from those in the know.

Well, if you start making more, I won't complain.  Still waiting for it. Haven't heard any feedback from people using the other system so I am not so certain. I can wait a bit for it to come.

Freshonetoo - WELCOME to the forum!
FTE? They seem to have some sort of grudge against the username "Landyot." I won't go into details, but you won't see me posting anything over there. Thanks for the kind words.
BTW, you have mail!  |

I don't have experience with the TC bars, but the radius rods went on my X about one week and 400 miles ago. I'm very happy with the product - the build quality and installation instructions are first-rate, and they work as advertized on my truck. Thanks again Landyot. |
