Dan, I installed your 3/16" xj frame stiffeners and traction bar kit on my friend's cherokee last night and today: nice pieces with excellent fit and cut quality. :)

Just a two pieces of constructive feedback: I would put another relief cut 4" above where the stiffeners bend to cover the LCA mounts: I had to cut both side to get them to fit. Also I would consider opening up the holes at the bend that touches floor on the outside: its difficult to get a mig torch tip angled down enough to weld those holes when the torch is againts the bottom of the floor.
But eitherwise the fit was much better than the last set (a brand from Wyoming) I welded up.

I liked how simple the traction bar kit was to fit up and the extra "boomarang" pieces made it nice and let me weld it all at once and I didn't have to worry about warping it so it wouldn't fit after welding.

Also thanks Summit for having an extra 3/4" hiem bung that fit 1.5" 0.120" wall tubing on the shelf: apparently no one else carries adapters for that size tubing. I hope "one eyed willy" makes a speedy recovery!

I love having good vendors that make quality products! It makes projects SO much faster.
 
I put a set on my xj as well they are great.

I had to cut mine up a bit to incorperate a Clayton suspension cross member.

They look a lot better and take much less time than doing your own for sure.

This is the next thing I will be ordering from Dan

Those offset TRE's look sweet!

Couldn't agree more. My Jeep simply wouldn't have come together so smoothly without some awesome vendors that went above and beyond.
