Working on the rear lift on my 03 TJ. The rear track bar bracket on the frame is toast. I now need a replacement bracket to weld to the frame. I can not find a source yet on the net. I am certain that it exists. I would appreciate advice from forum members.
 
Ask and you shall receive:

As with anything Currie, this thing is top notch quality. It's beefy as hell, and comes with all the hardware you need to bolt it on. It's also got an area that needs to be welded on as well, but you're obviously prepared for that.

Really, really high quality piece.

That frame side rear trackbar bracket is kind of a rare beast, I'd first contact Genright & ask them. I didn't see one on their site but they are normally a good source for brackets. Or they may have a known source they can refer you to.

I think Currie has it in an axle bracket kit, I'm looking to see if they have it listed separately. No doubt they'll sell one by itself if they do.

I'm gonna check M.O.R.E. too.

Oh crap... Totally missed the part about it being frame side... durrrrrr.
 
Jim I can't find the bracket by itself online at Currie, Genright, or Mountain Off Road Enterprises but my bet is you'll find it by calling them.

@mrblaine will likely know where to get it off the top of his head.

The forward side of the bracket is OK. The aft side is the problem. I think it would be better to weld on a complete new bracket. Another option would be to reinforce the aft plate.

Let me check the pile today. At one point I had collected about 20 I had carefully cut off the frame, stored for several years and then finally tossed because no one ever needed them.

As luck would have it, there is one in the pile. Cost you shipping. Let me know and we can get it out of here on Monday.

Follow up. New track bar bracket welded in place. Many thanks to Mrblaine. Now I can get moving again with this project.
You should have mentioned you needed bump stop cups. I have several and could have tossed a couple in the box for the same shipping price.

Looks good but your welder is running a bit on the cold side.
Yeah, the cheap flux core machine our welder was using tends to make less than perfect looking welds, but the bracket will certainly hold.
I don't think we had even realized the bump stop cups looked that bad!
Thanks for sending that bracket- I'm excited to get the project moving again!

Ask him to turn the wire speed down just a tiny bit and use a steadier movement instead of washing it forward and back into the puddle and the appearance will improve. It isn't the welder, it's the weldor.

Is it possible you have another track bar mount frameside for a 2006 TJ. I will also take bump stops if you have them. I have been searching for a week now for this part. It is impossible!!!
