How far away from your house are you? I drove 30 miles on the freeway with no tracbar once with only one instance of death wobble.

2 batteries, 2 pairs of jumper cables and some welding rod and you are good to go.

not to give you bad ideas but When I first lifted my jeep I forgot to bolt my trackbar up and drove to work 5 miles away and back without it. I knew something was wrong but at 25 it was limpable.

We strapped a front axle down with a criss crossed tow strap and got it off the trail. The key was to preload it downward and don't go over any whoopydoos.

This works, and Supsa carries the supplies to do this.
