I ordered the TJS and Blaine's bolt and flag nut. I'm hoping the Trak Bar I receive is the updated version.
A little hard to tell from the picture. Is the supplied, machined, flag nut 1/2"? It looks like it is!
If they're including the 1/2 axle side bolt, would I still use your 10mm bolt? Given the increase in clamping force, I would think I could.
The 10mm even though it is very high strength won't develop the same clamping force as a 1/2" grade 8. Use the grade 8.
It isn't soft, it just isn't or hasn't been heat treated like a normal hex nut in the higher grades is. Do they give a torque value they want?
Let it go through. I've got a good friend I can give it to. He's not in a position to do upgrades, so things like this I pass along to him. It's a little thing, but he will appreciate it!
I am interested in this end as well @jjvw ... did some snooping on the rock jock site this morning and found the bar with the new end listed... but could not find the end piece listed in parts. The drawing on the website still shows the old bushing but the product picture shows a JJ at the axle end for sure..
Yeah! the picture on the website doesn't match what @GA05LJ received at all... I like what he received much better because it looks like it will fit my rig with the old bushing
Not surprised at all. Folks that do websites are good at that. Folks that do parts are good at that. Folks that do parts just want to get parts done, working better and then in the hands of folks that use them. Getting a website set up with all the product minutia so it can be dissected ad infinitum by the arm chair experts on the internet is rarely a top priority.
Mine is a few months old as well, I'm not sure the benefit of updating it to the JJ would outweigh the cost.
