Anti-AxleWrap Bar>>>

[Burt4x4]

Hey FirstGen OffRoaders ~
Anyone put an Anti-Wrap bar in the rear?
I know my rear end wraps up fairly easy, I have been lucky so far with no breakage but I need to secure my rear before I tear something.
I don't have much room as my mufflers are in the way



I hate to mess with my exahust as it is very solid install..but I may not have a choice....

Looking for Ideas?

I am thinking something simple like this:




This one is WAY stout!


I was over at Pirate4x and saw the pics.
Looking for pics under a FirstGen K5/Jimmy.
Anyone?
Preferably with a 14FF rear?
Any pics will do....
Thanks

I used one of Kert's kits at DIY4x4.com

Ya the Backbone/Wrapter
It would prolly work as it is on top of the 14FF instead of welded to the tube next to the pumkin.
Problem = I don't have to 500 to buy that setup so first I wana see if I can make my own, slowly buying pieces...I'm really broke nowa days

I had to eliminate my dual exhaust that looked like yours and go single with a crossover right behind my 205. Once that was cleaned up here is what I have:

Thanks, ya I can't see a way around it, keeping both mufflers and a bar...just no room for both...
Winter project!

Have you looked at the ruffstuff specialties anti wrap bar kits?

Hey MNorby,
Do you still have your factory crossmember in there? The one that is in-between the forward spring pack mounts?
What size lift are your rear springs?
Thanks
Burt

yeah there is a crossmember if I remember right at the front sprign hangers for the rear end. Springs are stock 56s.

On my truck, I put two bars, one on each side of the axle that mounts to the bottom of the frame.

This is what I have on my Jeep TJ, but I'm sure some creative fab guy could be made for you guys. Its basically a skid under the rear diff and then a torque arm that connects to a skid plate.



For me it removes the upper control arms, creates a skid plate for the rear diff and drive shaft and acts as a torque arm/anti axle rap bar.
Heres a bunch of install photos if your remotely interested in copying the idea.
