If your jeep has been upgraded to a Dana 60 axle, we have modifications that can work with that as well, just contact us to order.
What It Fits:
- Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-2022), Jeep Gladiator JT (2019-2022), both Dana 30 and Dana 44 front axles.
The Special Sauce:
Housing
- SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
- CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
Ball Studs
- SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For strongest possible metallurgy.
- Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
- Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
- Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued. (Installer Choice).
Bearing Design
Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing.
Boots
- CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold
- Accordion Boot: ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.
Finish
- Rod Ends - Phosphate Finish: Extremely durable. Double coated. Rugged look.
- Adjusting Sleeves - E-Coat Finish:Durable e-coat treatment
Hardware
- Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
- Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
Adjusting Rods
1.75 inch DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Because some people prefer steel and there are as many good reasons for it as there are for aluminum.
Lubrication
- Pre-threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
- Greaseable: Because it should be.
- Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
- Gull Winged Grease Grooves : Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
- Zerk Fittings : Included for every application.
Special Features:
- Tie Rod Ends - Flopper Stoppers Built In: Unlike the poly hockey pucks that most brands use, our heavy duty Flopper Stoppers inch are built into the tie rod end bearings, giving you an industry leading 27 degrees of stud swing left and right and only 2 degrees of stud swing forward and aft, keeping your tie rod and drag link from rotating and flopping.
- The competitor hockey puck style systems also call for the removal of the tie rod end boot, which is there to keep the dirt out and the grease in.
- Ninja Washers (tm): An APEX exclusive is our Ninja Washer which is a unique method of securing the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps.
- And who doesn't want a ninja on their front end!

Stops working after it heats up
Style: Receiver
This unit can’t stay running for any period longer than 5 hours. The components start to heat up and the sound goes out completely. The audio will only return after the unit has been turned off and cooled. A complete waste of money.

Most dynamic and engaging sound
1/15/24: I should mention that I connected my old Yamaha rx 1070 and no HDMI or HDCP issues.
The A8A started giving HDCP 2.2 errors. No video on TV. Have to restart receiver to get compatibility. This happened after a recent firmware update. Very unfortunate since it's an awesome receiver.
Update 12/27: so I've had this receiver for just over a month and I can say with confidence that I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I have disconnected to Arundel 1723 speakers and the sound is just outstanding. I leave the surround AI on all the time and I've compared the sound with it on and off and the difference is perceptible. The surround AI makes dialogue more intelligible and creates a wide sound field. The best part again are the scenes which you can configure to your heart's content. I will point to the fact that initially I did the YPAO angle measurement incorrectly.
There are two parts to the stand the tripod(propeller type)and a stand that fits onto it. The fourth position is high up on the stand after it is fixed to the propeller stand. Use a tripod stand to achieve great results. If you have Dolby Atmos and/ or front presence and rear presence speakers turn off the speaker virtualization and this will give you better sound. Also when doing the calibration choose your measurement points at least two to three feet apart.
To give you some context I have tested the Onkyo RZ70, Sony 7000ES ,marantz Cinema 50 and Denon X4800.
The Yamaha a8a outshines all these receivers. It is a blast to watch movies. The sound is very punchy especially in the mid bass and the lower bass is literally room shaking.
The surround AI feature is awesome and I would advise that you use it. I was initially skeptic about this but it creates a sense of immersion as if you are right in the movie. The dialogue is crystal clear and very easily intelligible. I would strongly recommend using AI or at least giving it a try.
The remote is backlit which is great. One of the most powerful features of this receiver is scenes. With this, you can assign various functions to one button on the remote.
The only downside I see is the on-screen display which takes up the whole screen. It should be a banner at the bottom. The other issue I have is in the music cost app where on the input screen the whole real estate is taken up by a symbol that you can choose. I would have preferred instead some more useful information like the number of speakers being used. This is one of the best receivers I've ever heard. You will not be disappointed if you buy this.

Premium sound quality
Wao. This is amazing
I am extremely satisfied with the Yamaha A8A. It delivers excellent sound quality and offers a premium Hi-Fi listening experience. I previously used a Denon 13.2 receiver, and the Yamaha not only measures up but surpasses it in many ways. The sound is outstanding, and I am very impressed with its performance. Overall, I highly recommend the Yamaha A8A for anyone seeking a high-quality audio receiver.

Quality and reliability included
Powerful upgrade to my modest home theater
I had an a4a and wanted to upgrade to 5.2.4
Having the ability to adjust subs independently is the biggest difference I noticed immediately and made a huge impact in balancing my sound
Paired with a emotiva basx A3 to take the pressure of my front stage I couldn’t be happier with how dynamic this setup is
I tried a Denon 6700 and didn’t like it. The Yamaha has a backlit remote that lights up just by picking it up and pass through works great so with the unit off I can use anything attached to it with headphones or tv speakers without having to wake the family

Unreliable and may have NO WARRANTY
Unit has failed. It won't power up. Blinking red light. Called Yamaha and they are verifying the 3prd party through Amazon is a authorized dealer prior to authorizing repair. Less than 2 years old. Home page on Amazon sales screen advertises it comes with a 5 year warranty with registration. How would I know if or if not Amazons vender is a authorized dealer? I'm going to be you know what if they come back and say NO WARRANTY. I will update as the process moves along.
