Had the JKS TrackBar Brace welded in today. Took about 15 minutes. Looks much more substancial than the stock bracket. It is welded around the stock bracket without removal. Heafty chunck of metal.

Spray painted gloss black and should not be so glossy after a few weeks. Pic taken 15 minutes after I sprayed it at home, so still wet. I need to pour a cup of muddy water over it so it does not shine so much now....

I feel much better knowing this is installed. Have been worried about the damn stock ripping off with the rugrat inside on the highway. I think the axle will have to fall off for the trackbar to come undone now!


God made mistakes. The rest he had painted YELLOW !!!

just picked up one of these. any tips for this? instructions seem straightforward, but was curious.

are you able to get the spray can everywhere needed after it's installed - even the inside of the brace?

That's a nice piece of metal. Did the muffler shop have any problems reaching all the way around to weld?

the guy that welded mine said it was nicely designed and very easy to weld. no problems reaching the weld points.
