Expedition Build TJ

I'm in the process of assisting Lawrence with his conversion to an Expedition Rig taking into account as many factors as is remotely feasible.

During this process, we had occasion to deal with a Dropped RE Trackbar issue. It won't work with a 4" lift height because the bracket will run into the tie rod during articulation.

So, I opted for a Currie Trackbar due to it's simplicity and ease of install. But, I wanted the 5/8" bolt and Currie's 2.5" Johnny Joints use a 9/16's bolt.

So, I asked John if he had ever drilled any out for the larger bolt and it turns out they do for the JeepSpeed stuff.

Lawrence now has a Currie trackbar with a 5/8" bolt holding the frame end of the trackbar nicely in place.

This would make a good replacement for anyone who ruined the hole with the Currie 9/16" bolt or anyone who has drilled the mount out to 5/8" to run the standard RE trackbar.
