    Currie Front Track Bar

    Awesome. Glad I wasn't crazy. Guess I'll be ordering from their site when the time comes

    Currie Front Track Bar

    Well there's that but the axle side joint looks completely different as well. That's what I'm really confused on. I mean even the picture they have vs the diagram is just different

    Currie Front Track Bar

    So I'm a little confused at the moment. I'm getting ready to replace my track bar and figure since I went with Currie for steering might as well complete the set. Problem is the same model number of track bar looks different on Currie's site than it does on anyone else's. I had the trackbar in...

    Frame rust repair

    I'll look into the camera idea but the skid has been dropped before with no issues so far. And yeah I know rust is always hell but here in indiana it's just the constant. Dang salted roads

    Frame rust repair

    I did some pounding before and I was suspicious as well but I wasn't finding any other bad spots. Before me, this jeep was only used in the summer in sand. So it's in relatively good shape

    Frame rust repair

    So I've got a small hole in my rear driver side frame and I'm looking into getting it repaired and as I've been recently informed I should do, drill drain holes in the frame. Basically, I have all the resources and skills (either myself or friends) to do the frame repair myself with steel we...

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    5.5" lift, I don't use a drop pitman because I don't need it for proper angles, and the bump stops are definitely at least that.

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    As of now the track bar has no play and adjusts just fine but I know it's getting older and is gonna fail me sooner or later so I will have to keep that in mind. Thank ya for the input

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    Just for a reference here it is with the new steering on. Jeez it was a pain to install too but sure looks good now

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    Sounds good to me lol. It's a Jeep after all. Function over form. If it works it works

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    So basically what I'm hearing is leave this one alone until it gets worn out and then go for the currie? Because I've got access to a welder and could easily fix up the factory mount when the time comes. I just wanna build this jeep right. The guy I bought it off of did a pretty decent job and I...

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    This is mainly what I've heard. So basically what I want to know is. Would I see any major benefit by removing the relocation bracket and installing the currie adjustable track bar (or other track bar if there's something better). Because I'd like to have nice stuff on my Jeep and quality parts...

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    This^ I'm really interested to hear why they get so much hate when I'm not really seeing any adverse effects

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    Didn't smack the diff last time I cycled and nothing has changed that would make it do it now. And their angles are basically the same but I'll give it a check tomorrow in case I'm crazy and since I've installed new steering

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    Yeah I've done that before and the angles were basically identical but obviously the length was a bit different. Bump stops are set correctly and even a bit over as of the last time I cycled my suspension. I was thinking about getting a new track bar from currie but I really don't have any...

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    Pitman arm is a stock replacement from omix, the bracket as far as I can tell is just a generic one as I've seen a lot that attach the same way online. Also the reason the axle hardware might look different is this Dana 44 is out of an F-150 so all of its different. The sway bar is some form of...

    Is this track bar relocation mount okay?

    So as I was reading through some topics trackbar relocation brackets seem to be a hot issue among some. I was looking at mine because I knew it had one and I just wondered if there was anything wrong with having it as it moves the track bar further forward to clear the diff better as far as I...

    New steering for swapped-in Dana 44

    Well I appreciate everyone's help but I got the situation sorted with a bit of ingenuity and welding. Driving like a dream so far!

    New steering for swapped-in Dana 44

    Ah got it I knew the right part but I measured from the wrong spot. I measured from the inner side of them. I'll give it another look tomorrow. Thank you

    New steering for swapped-in Dana 44

    So I'm not for sure how to measure that. I clearly measured wrong when I tried it today because I only got 46 inches. I'm sorry like I said I'm new to all this stuff
