You can run this direct to your unibody but we will add a 3/16 peice to add strength to it. If you weld right to the thin wall metal there is a chance that you can rip the bracket off when wheeling. However..... I have run two different XJ's with the track bar mount welded to the unibody and have beat them hard and never had any issues... I lost a track bar bolt once and used gorrilla tape and a stick to hold the track bar in an drive home once!!

Alright, which one of you was driving around a stockish green and gold ZJ, and then a white MJ in Loveland and FoCo this afternoon?

Also, I saw what's his name with the stinger in Loveland and waved, I don't think he waved back. My feelings are so totally hurt. :'(

Found an axle for my Cherokee finally. But it has 3.73's in it >.< anyone know how much it is to regear the rear end or should I just pull the 3.55' out of my current axle?

Plate the frame with some 1/4" or 3/8" plate. On the side and under part of the rails to. Other wise you will end up like Jesse did on MSV. Plate plate plate it man. Better to over kill it then have it come back on you later
