I still see the pictures. Look on page 4 of this thread.

 

When I first saw it, was on a different thred, they just moved it to this thred.
Thanx!

 

Does the JKS have a threaded end that threads into the track bar rod, yes or no? Am I wrong here?

I tried to keep this off the forum in PM's, but guess not. You are still as unprofessional as the first post. I would expect better from an administrator.

Yes, I said I wont' buy a track bar that threads in and out, does that rule out some manufactures...yes. Did I ever say they dont build quality...no. It was my personal preference Mr. know it all. Baseless and irresponsible...that would be you my friend.

While you seem to think a TJ has no place for discussion here...you have given that feeling...almost every one of us has had experience with a TJ before a JK.

I am deleting the posts. I don't like the tone here from those that are supposed to be helpful.

 

Just so you all know, I pulled the pictures and my post because I feel the administrator is unprofessional.

You can still see them in the show and tell section where the discussion is probably better suited.

 

yes, it does but you simply do not have a clue as to what the real problem is. the problem is that your TJ used a weak OEM tie rod end as opposed a beefed up replacement like most other manufacturers use. and, if i could guess, the TRE (which is a ball joint with a limited working angle) was most likely maxing out due to the lift you had and this would have put an enourmous amount of strain on the entire track bar. as it would seem, the point where the TRE was attached to the track bar itself was the weakest link and that's where it decided to break. JK's DO NOT use a TRE at the frame mount and therefore, it would not experience the same kind of problems. trying to make a comparison between your TJ track bar and the problems it had with a JK track bar is simply an apples to oranges comparison.

just because you don't like hearing how wrong you are does not mean that i am being unprofessional. i am simply stating the facts and i'm sorry if that offends you.

LOL!! how you can say that a manufacturer can make quality products and yet, in the same breath say that you would never buy them due to the way they designed them is simply ridiculous.

well, i don't know if i would say that i know it all but there are clearly things that you have said that are completely wrong and were made with no other intent than to create FUD - fear, uncertainty and doubt. and, that my friend is irresponsible. me, i'm just trying to set the record straight but you can call it whatever you want.

LOL!! no my friend, i just don't think the example you showed and the point you were trying to make is an accurate comparison and i just took the time to explain why.

you'll forgive me but your efforts to try and scare people away from products based on things that you don't understand does not help anyone out.

 

Can anyone confirm if the TF Trackbars work with riddler or arb diff covers?

 

I am not trying to start a flame war but Wayoflife absolutely goes out of his way to be as helpful as anyone i have ever seen. I don't think you are going to gain any credibility putting him down..... Just the opposite.

I am glad you and your child made it out of your situation in good health but you are not comparing apples to apples. and your diff cover was hitting the track bar putting stress on to it at an angle for which it is not designed.

 

Looks like jayrav has a ARB cover on his with the TF TB.

I am not trying to put him down at all or hurt his credibility. I simply don't like the sarcasm in his answers. That behavior is not necessary. His point is good, but his social skills are lacking.

I said I think JKS, Full Traction and others that make the screw in adjustment make good products. I also said I would not buy that type of track bar, Yet the response from Mr. Administrator is this:

No, that's not ridiculous, it's my preference, but it does not mean they make crap! Who is trying to hurt the credibility of who? Totally unneccesary. He is also turning what I said into something else entirely.

Example:
[QUOTE=wayoflife;1000797]
and that's because you are making choices based on the experiences you had with a poorly made product. however, just so that it's clear to everyone else, you have absolutely NO experience with anything else available today for the JK.QUOTE]

His tone was like this throughout his response. How about stating it was a poorly made product. I would expect much more from the administrator.

I am not saying he is wrong and you may not be either.

The mark on the diff cover is rusted and covered in dirt. That picture was taken right after it snapped. That does not mean it was not hitting the diff cover, you may be right, but i don't think it did that day. It may have been weakened earlier, but there was not even a scuff in the film of dirt on the cover that day. And of course, Rusty's did not think it hit.

Bottom line, it broke. I personally don't like the design. I have a reason not to.
I realize the design is different than the JK.

 

Though this discussion was heated it still was a good discussion.
