Nah its aftermarket T-steering. Stock steering linkage is an inverted Y-steering setup. I'm just seeing if anybody recognizes the brand of kit by sight so I can find the right rod ends. There's no markings on it anywhere. Looks like a 1-ton steering kit.

G'day all, Just finished up doing some track bar work, and while I was down there I noticed the driver's side tie rod end needs replaced, and I'm having some trouble determining the aftermarket drag link and tie rod that the PO installed. Anybody recognize this drag link / tie rod...

Yeah I think I'm done here. I'm going to take a crack at modifying the track bar. Depending on how well that works out, I might end up with a Curie, we'll just see how it goes. I was honestly expecting some pretty useful input. I think I'll just ask friends of friends going forward.

Allow me to elaborate: The track bar that was on it when I bought it. The rest of the jeep was 100% stock except for the 33" KM2s, so I'm assuming it is the OEM track bar. Not sure why the PO would change nothing except the track bar with a bone stock front end.

Next time I'm wheeling without springs, I will keep this in mind. Find me another locker that doesn't rely on a dedicated air system (way more stuff to break), I don't need to cut up my interior for (manual shift cables), and is reliable (looking at you E-locker). I'll wait. You go play with...

So, at the end of the day, it looks like there are a few things I could do that would make the most sense. 1. Buy an adjustable trackbar and make it fit as suggested. Probably best option, maybe more expensive, but would be "proper", I agree. 2. Bend this trackbar and see how it goes. Check...

Yes.

Just the stock track bar. Could just heat it with a torch and bend it out of the way. Problem solved.

Picture was from install about a year ago. It's not missing any bolts. I just don't have any recent pictures. I suppose I'll consider it... I never planned for a lift. That is going to have a lot of downstream effects. Edit: Besides the needed 1 1/2" body lift for the tummy tuck I'm planning.

Rummaging around in my components drawer I found some 0.1u 250V film caps. That'll do.

OK. I think I have some sitting around actually.

Simply because I enjoy it. That's it. RE capacitor, I just added the space. I'm not going to populate it for this application.

All, After installing high-clearance fender flares, I replaced the side markers with round 3/4" LED marker lights. Since the (at least the post-facelift) side markers use current one direction for marker and the other direction for turn signal flashing, these LEDs pretty quickly smoked...

I'm not sure what you are talking about with the amount of work. Swapping the locker for another one sounds like way more work (and more money) than modifying the TB.

Digging back through my photos from install, here's the current gen OX on my Dana 30. Note the really close trackbar.
