Unbolts from the steering box... slips off the upper steering shaft.

Got the welder joe steering joint in today. I was in a rush so i didnt get any pics, but it feels awesome, way better then the stupid rag joint.

Overall im very pleased with this mod... It does make a funny hydraulic noise when turning the wheel quickly, but ill trade that any day for the much better steering response.

No issues at all installing it, install was very strait forward if you read the flaming river how-to i posted.
