I don't have any otherwise I would have PM'd my offer. Saving money to build this part can = a costly tow, hrs of headache trying to get out of the woods, more damage to your rig or people. Just a suggestion. Kudos to you for building your own parts. Thats what Jeep guys do.

A second piece of advise too. The stock track bar is cast iron. Not a good idea to weld it. Becomes brittle and will blow apart. I found my rubicon express tb for $50 on eBay.

This is a terrible idea on many levels. You blow the track bar, you wreck. Injure yourself and others and possible death. Now idk why we can talk about this. And not removing cats. This is by far one of the worst things over heard being done. SMH....
