What's a good tracbar for a non lifted xj? Its not mine it's my aunts. Trying to upgrade hers with one that has a replaceable t.r.e. I got an ironrock on mine and love it but need one for a stocker. R.c? Rusty's?
If she is not off roading then i don't see a problem with stock.
I have a 160,000 on mine and I off road all the time. I would say that is a pretty good test. I seriously doubt an after market one would last any longer.

I think when I did mine it was cheaper to upgrade than going stock. I'll look again on price but I thought it was 109 for a stock one and 139 for an iro but those won't work on a stocker.
Plus I'm lookin for later. 20 bucks IF I can just replace the end on it or 109 again for the whole assembly. The end of aftermarket is serviceable unlike its stock counterpart
Edit-
Rusty aftermarket 1.25" Dom with serviceable end is $146.19 to my door. Its rustys but still I feel is an upgrade from stock.
OEM from napa. Its a napa part I looked at not master ride knock off. Is $111.45. The end isn't sevicable and its not dom.
That's really the only reason I see to go aftermaket. If u can call Rusty's an upgrade

No, you have to make heiney. You are bringing the grill!!! ha, ha. Heck you can ride with me, you still have to go.
Trails west does not do trannys, I do them. No place is going to do it for 300 dollars and warranty it. If so I will quit doing them and take them there. LOL
If its just slipping into second I could be just the band? or the accumulator.
Usually the clutches go bad in 3/4 not 1/2.
Either way its not a big deal.

Also in the bottom picture I messed up and put the plastic washer below the mount when it should be on top. It has since been fixed. My cb is mounted on the passenger side of the trans tunnel for now.

Shift solenoids aren't to hard to do. Still gotta drop the pan, so get fluids and a new filter. Also the dipstick tube is a pain to get off. Mine wouldn't break loose but dropped enough get my wrench in to get to the solenoids.
