I looked at them I heard that they chop out pretty quick if you drive a lot of mud

I just fitted the RE adjustables to my XJ. Have not heard of any bad reports on the joints, except to say they no doubt wear like all other joints.

I can not see there being a problem if you grease them and keep them clean and clear of mud and dirt.

leave the nissan bush on one end and put a johnny joint on the other end, ride will be too harsh without at least one rubber bush, the joint will last for ages if you maintain it...
