I need To see if anybody has some plans to make traction bars, I'm going to try to make a set at work on my spare time, maybe some can help me out with some plans or layout. If not I will have to call up Terry and buy a set. Thanks

Bobby, hope you don't mind if I add to this thread since it is already started about traction bars ..... :o

Most everywhere I look I see Metco and CalTracs.
Has anyone used the JLP traction bars? More of a Rancho style compared to Metco.

I built a set similar to the Truck Tracs style. I have not had a chance to really test them yet. Waiting for the weather to cool down a little. Total cost to build....$24.00 and change.

You may not remember meeting me but I met you at Denton track. I remember seeing you break you traction bars that was pretty damn cool and the truck sounded badass with the spintechs. I was running puny 8.90s in a silver 2001 with just air raid cai and boost bypass. like I said you prolly won't remember. it might help that i'm hispanic.:hammer:
