home brew adjustable trackbar
For the Love of God do not put that on your Jeep. That is an accident in the making.
Black pipe from the hardware store has no place on a moving vehicle, not to mention on something as critIcal as your track bar.
Black Iron Pipe is very soft and that thin walled and very ductile fitting will fail almost immediately.
I don't want to read a thread about you being in an accident and getting hurt as a result...or hurting someone else.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THAT TRACKBAR!!!

Son,
I don't care how much money you have or don't have.
I don't care if you never spend a cent on my site.
I don't care if you want to call me every stinkin' name in the book.
I do care that you are putting a very dangerous piece of hardware on your Jeep and i i do care that you are going to get hurt or even hurt someone else as a result.
I'm trying to give you the benefit of my experience here. It's free advise and i have ZERO to gain from giving it to you. You owe me nothing for it...ever.
I'm begging you kid.
PLEASE DON'T USE IT.
If that fails at highway speed you will loose control of your jeep....PERIOD.
I'm not bashing you in any way shape or form.

You gotta do what you gotta do. Suggestion though.... test it on a back road with out traffic, take it easy and inspect it really good. Then lets us know how it did. Just dont want a fellow jeeper getting hurt you know.
