I finally got around to installing Radius Rod Protectors.

My number 1 recommendation if you are going off-road.

Al the Radius Rod brackets had differing levels of damaged. I did manage to straighten them back using locking pliers, but (of course) this damaged all the paint.

A wire wheel took any loose paint off and a can of CRC Cold Gal sealed the bare metal back up.

The bolts were difficult to align due to the spacers between the cup and the bracket sliding around; a small sliver of double-sided tape held it in place. The first one I did also had issues with alignment due to the vehicle being on ramps at the time.

The other three were easier with the ramps removed, jack stands and the front wheels chocked.
