Will The Lower Rods From The X-terra Work On The Equinox?

Happy to be here Steve and I'll try to chip in if required ;-)

My question....... why are you wanting to modify?   Are we thinking CF straight shaft?  Cost for replacing the lower shafts?   Ive been discussing it with Cliff out of Clearwater too...... but our need is a bit different.   I feel the 3 piece, those locks, and the aluminum isnt the best choice for salt water.   So we have been looking at CF.   It will reduce weight, wont blister inside so fewer shafts locking up,  we can use a nylon bolt in lieu of the lock.  I prefer a much longer upper and shorter lower which really reduces shaft wiggle out there.   We put a lot more torque on the shaft and cuff than dirt hunters.   My plans are to keep the original for travel or resale.  Of course we are waiting on Pete Anderson as well.... to see which way he goes...... 1, 2, or 3 piece.
