    It feels like Christmas at my house. I ordered some parts from Ballistic Fabrications on Nov 19th. There were some issues in the shipping process but the parts finally came.

    I placed a quarter on the lower left corner of the box as a reference to the size of the parts. They are pretty beefy. It's all chromoly. Tomorrow I'm gonna go buy some 316 stainless pipe and start fitting everything up. Hopefully I can fab some mounts/ brackets as well. I kinda already started this but put it on hold until the parts came. This will be the beefiest pair of rear traction bars ever.

    I pressed the polyurethane bushings into the joints along with the balls. I made some brackets, bought some pipe and fit some things up. I'm gonna do some more fabbin tomorrow.

    Subscribed! I've been waiting for someone to make a sweet set of ladder bars for our trucks.
