Default What Track Bar and Bracket Is This??

So I picked up another XJ a few weeks back and the heim joint on the track bar is bad. I want to order a new joint for it but, I can't seem to figure out what track bar it is. Anyone seen one like this before?

Never mind, it's a Rock Krawler bomb proof track bar.

You can source your heims elsewhere. I use ruff stuff specialties and Dan gives members here a discount. I have the same bar and it has the ruff stuff heim on it.

What size heim is it? I haven't had the chance to take it off and measure and if I can avoid being out in 10° weather, that would be sweet

Looks like a 5/8" bolt with no misalignment spacers.

I'd guess a 5/8" heim joint, but RK's website doesn't give any more info.

I emailed them once about it and didn't get a response although it was around the holidays.

Take the joint off and go to a hardware store and compare the threads.

Obviously lol I was just hoping to avoid having to do that in the snow and super cold weather. I figured it out anyway. It's a 5/8" rod end with a 3/4" shank

Looks like it has taken a bath in the sea a couple of times.
