Miscellaneous mods and got everything mounted for some camping trips coming up.

As someone who has had multiple side steps nothing compares to OEM quality in terms of fitment and longevity. Every aftermarket side step i have had has rusted and/or had fitment issues. I see OEM side steps on fb marketplace all the time and reasonably priced. Just my two cents!!

Only 2,200 miles! “If you build it, the mud will come”

I can’t speak for Skyjacker, but I run the Teraflex rear track bar relocation bracket and it seems well built. No drilling and bolt on application.

Before and after Mopar 2” diesel lift on a gasser.

I decided to go back to Clayton. I was going to go Apex, but they don’t make a rear track bar and when I upgrade the rear I like to stick with the same manufacturer for suspension components (I’m weird). Thanks everyone for the replies!

Awesome! I have the roll n lock as well and one thing I loved about this rack is how it still utilizes the space up by the canister. If you have any pics of how it mounts up there I'd love to see them.

I saw this rack on one of the forged 4x4 builds. It’s pretty badass. Apparently it’s all steel. Any idea how much it weighs?

Seems to be lower numbers on left and higher numbers on right per the instructions, unless I am misunderstanding you.

I am leaning that way. Their sales HQ is about 20 minutes from me (plymouth, MI). I’m wondering if they carry any products there for pickup. It’d be nice to check them out before purchasing.

Yea that seems to be the case with MC. Which is fine if I had the energy to do that, but after two days of wrenching…i am beat. Who knows, maybe I’ll hold off on returning the MC track bar and wait a month or two when I have the energy to get back under the truck lol

I had the Clayton kit on my last gladiator. I do remember it fitting without any issues, however I wanted to try something new this time around. I may still end up going with them to be safe. Thanks for the feedback!

Bingo. I beat on it for 30 minutes, to realize it was sitting as far down as it could go. So i reinstalled the OEM trackbar. I modified my last jeep heavily, Clayton lift, MC drag link/tie rod, the list goes on. I've spent countless hours having to modify aftermarket parts to fit and I told...

I put it back in the box in two mintues and slapped a label on it.

yea, apparently some MY’s have a larger bore allowing the track bar hole to line up on the axle end. Mine did not. I wasn’t aware of this issue or I wouldn’t have bought it. MetalCloak’s customer service is superb though, so I’ll be returning it.

Does anyone know of an adjustable front track bar that requires no modifications for fitment? I tried installing the Metalcloak front track bar, until realizing it didn't fit unless I took a dremel to the mounting location on the underside of the axle. Typically, I'd take on this project but I...

Nope, I just followed the instructions. I'm not concerned about it. I'll have to take some measurement and see if i'm higher on one side in the rear.

You should see me on my creeper, it’s basically poetry in motion.

I’ve worked xray in the ER and now MRI. So we both have seen some shit!

Hahahah, i know. Wishful thinking.
