Well it finally came by UPS. At first glance I was amazed. Everyone always talks about how Rusty's stuff is low end RE stuff, well I have seen RE's HD trackbar and frame mount and I would say even this rivals it.
The install was a bit tricky. Everything came apart quite smoothly until I got to the one bolt on the bottom near the back. It was a round nut, with no way to get a hold of it unless you had a set of vice grips, cuz it wasnt welded down to the bracket.
After I got it off with a set of vice grips it was finally time to take the old trackbar and bracket off, I compared it to the new one and MAN....
Next came the part that busted up my hands, putting the new trackbar mount on....
Now keep in mind my Jeep has been totaled once before, rolled over and had some frame work done to it, so my problem may not be yours. The bottom two bolts didnt go in very easy, it took some convincing with my good ol' 10 and a halfs.... :rockz:
Once I got it all bolted up it was time to road test it.
Its a completely different feel than before, I dont know if its because of the new mount or the sheer size of this new bar, but my long problem with deathwobble at 55 is finally deminished to a sheer vibe, probably just alignment.
If you are cursed with DW then I would seriously recomend this upgrade, and at a lower cost than RE.
