Anybody have a Nice NIP JRX-T front tower?

Post by aconsola »

I'm not looking to buy one just wondering if they exist.

I started working on a jrx-pro tonight. I opened a nip front shock tower and the thing is a mess, all scratched and scuffed on both sides. I've gotten one like that in the past too. the rear pro tower is in perfect shape. I opened 2 more NIP front towers(my whole stash) trying to find one that looked good, but they all looked basically the same.

It cleaned up ok with some polish, but still not as nice as the rear tower.

Interesting. I have a corner opened Proformance kit bag, with both towers and other stuff. The rear seems fine, solid gloss.

But the front does look weird. Both sides have what I’ll call a surface crack look across them. Irregular yet consistent all over, a spiderweb if you will. Pattern perhaps half width of a tower. Not as much shine either, but who knows if it could be polished somehow. (gee, wasn’t that a smooth segue?) Surface still seems smooth thou.

A well enjoyed front on the car is in between. Shows decent shine considering, some obvious wear and tear, but no similar cracking. The rear looks sweet except for its battle wounds.
At least one more used set somewhere, maybe a nip, plus other stuff of the day. I'll look.

They all look like that. It is not a function of being scratched up, I believe moreso a function of the materials they where manufactured from.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.
