TLR TEN-SCTE 2.0 Kit Thread
#781
What's everyone's general opinion on the hard anodized ball ends? Anyone know why they didn't just go with SST or titanium? Hard anodizing is a surface treatment that doesn't actually strengthen the underlying metal at all. It just provides a wear resistant coating around the outside. I've got hard anodized shock mounts on my AE's that mate with a plastic shock cap. The shock mounts are pretty much disposable. My SCTE's original aluminum balls are pretty well done and I'm trying to figure out whether to replace them with the HA ones (silly expensive too) or go another route.

If you are going through the cost and effort of a titanium screw kit might as well put all alum nuts on as well.

I think there are 25 nuts on the truck.

I wouldnt use them in the newer differential cases. We made those holes tighter so they did not strip out and its no bueno for the titanium screws, lol.

It is a one for one swap on the 1.0 kit. As there are some different screws for the chassis components (servo hold down and battery try) it will not quite be a one for one on the 2.0 but close. Yes the kit even inlcudes titanium diff screws. I would say the titanium screw kit will do 95% or more of the car. Again a few chassis spots may not work.

Any shop that is a Horizon Certified Partner and has them on order and actually finalizes their order when they are available will get them. And people that ordered direct from HH.com.

[QUOTE=hacker07;11844447]The HA balls are 7075 whereas the stock balls are 6061. If you switch balls, its a good idea to put new ends on so that the metal impregnated into the plastic doesnt harm the new balls faster. The HA balls are used everywhere ont he SCTE 2.0 except the sway bar balls as those dont wear. These are the same ones we use in all of the TLR vehicles.
What is the part number for these? Do you use the stock ends for them as well?
