First, just want to say that Jay's Truk Traks are quality built, industrial strength traction bars. Way to go Jay.
Anyway, I capped the ends of the bars with some machined aluminium pieces to give it some minor bling bling when viewing from the back of the truck.
They are 2 pieces, a bracket which bolts to the 2 x 3 square tubing, then an end cap which bolts to the bracket.
Now all I have to do is install the traction bars, which I will get around to once hibernation season ends. It's just to cold out there right now.
I think I have cabin fever, I'm modding the mods, making boltons for the boltons. Please spring, come soon. Hehe!

Thats a great idea Dave

You made Jays idea even better

 

HI!... I built my own traction bars about 2.5 years ago. I couldn't justify paying that much money for something I could build myself cheaper and better. Mine are fully boxed and all TIG welded They make no noise while driving (slapping). I have mine set at 3/4" space between the snubber and leaf spring eyelet. Here's a few pics. I made these for less than $200(CAN)/ $90(U.S). They use are stainless steel hardware too.

Excellent Dave. You do great work with Alumn. Any new goodies your thinking about making for us?

I wouldnt mind a pair of those for my Truk Traks!

 

looks like some nice machine work there!

Neal your links don't work bro.

 

Hey those bars look firmiliar

Great work Dave........I knew you would do something sweet after what we talked about.

How about a lightning bolt engraved and painted black on those plates now

Also......did you drill a hole in the bottom of the bar at the rear so they can drain??

Great work they really look nice.......... Bling Bling

PEaCE........

 

I got bored one day myself and decided to paint mine white. I also polished the aluminum snubber spacers and they look like chrome.

 

Neal/RT .. links worked fine for me ??

 

those white calipers and traction bars look really nice

 

Sure did Joe, thanks to your suggestion.
I am working on some engraving for it also.

J.D......looks good with the calipers and bars white.
