So Im about at my wits end with this stupid Jeep, between field training and a deployment my XJ went from month long build to over a year. Anyway I am replacing the stock Track Bar with an adjustable and I can't get the frame end to come loose. I've used a ball joint separator and put everything I've got into and and cant get it loose. Any ideas?

I'm assuming you got the nut off? If so try a torch, heat the **** out of the bracket, this should break some corrosion up then bash it with a hammer. You could also try to pry it out with a big pry bar.
