Installed a JKS adjustable track bar this weekend. I think the jeep already had an aftermarket track bar, but I'm pretty much just replacing everything and it looked pretty gaffed up anyway.

Drilling out the frame mounting hole to 9/16. Had to drop the tie rod in order to give myself room to drill. Noticed my ball joints don't look so hot, ordering Teraflex HD ball joints.

Snapped the axle mounting bolt completely in half while torquing it to spec. Not sure what happened, but I'm thinking it was just a trash aftermarket bolt. Went to 5 different stores to find a bolt that matched, but I couldn't find a grade-8 and the one I got is just as sketchy as the one that snapped so I ordered an original factory bolt and flag nut just to remove all doubt. Still waiting on those to come in the mail, but the mystery bolt should hold in the meantime.

If you count the amount of trips to Lowes, Home Depot, Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, and Oreillys I had to go on, it took me about 8 times longer than it should have to install this.
