Heavy duty traction bar on the front axle
I was having axle wrap problems on the front axle after the SOA but the rear seems to be fine with the add-a-leaf so I built a front traction bar. I finished it last night and did some flexing on some steep ditch embankments and it seems to be working fine. I will give it a bigger test on Saturday when the Colorado Land Cruisers make a run up Gold CAmp Road. Here are the pictures of what it looks like. The adjustable ends are Teraflex joints with 1" shafts. The tube is 1 1/2" D.O.M. with 1/4" thick wall. Seems like it falls into the catagory of overbuilt.
