lostdestiny14 02-25-2007, 09:56 PM photoman has them and malogus has a DIY in the suspension section of NT
Yea,
I think I'm going to do the Malogus' DIY.
12secTib 02-25-2007, 11:48 PM T.C. will have a set out pretty soon I do believe..
ScassassinTib 02-26-2007, 12:37 AM i have all the resources i need, i just dont want to spend even over 100 bucks for something so simple. Also i am going to make it where i can take them off and on. yeah i know Tim is coming out with some. He has alot on his plate and there are more important things that need to come from there first , lol... :nono:
12secTib 02-26-2007, 12:54 AM HELL YEAH!! My Big Bore kit and twin disk clutch!!! lol
ScassassinTib 02-26-2007, 01:06 AM Enough Said....
malogus 02-28-2007, 10:10 AM T.C. will have a set out pretty soon I do believe..
OH, Didn't know he was making a set. I just sent him a PM with a link to my NT.com thread.
ScassassinTib 02-28-2007, 11:28 AM I like your setup ^^^^^. I just want to make it some what cheaper. Also if i can get the cost down. I will make these for other people at no extra cost other then shipping and what it cost to make them. well people on this site ! :thumbsup1:

You can't make it cheaper than that without a lot of labor and time (and in my mind, time is expensive as well). If you really wanted, you could buy the end-links, 1/2 DOM tubing, and weld-in DOM threaded mounts off ebay. This would be cheaper, but you also have ot have access to a welder, and the time to make the bars. IMO this is a cheap option, and is fairly easy to fab up.
TATTOO 02-28-2007, 01:17 PM Hey malogus you should post the DIY here on the NGM Forums.:thumbsup1:
malogus 02-28-2007, 01:34 PM Hey malogus you should post the DIY here on the NGM Forums.:thumbsup1:
Sorry, don't want to do that if Tim is making his own bars. It's not like nt.com, which is really independent of any sponsors. This is his website to sell/discuss his products, I don't want to post a DIY here for something he is planning on selling.
TATTOO 02-28-2007, 01:42 PM Yeah your absolutely right.:cool:
I just wanted to see the DIY. I guess i have to go check on NT:confused:
Terry 02-28-2007, 07:48 PM I've been holding off getting these from somewhere else if Tim is making them. is there any other news on them?
12secTib 02-28-2007, 08:22 PM Im doing my own and when T.C. put his out I'll get his cause Im sure they will look much better..
Could someone with them installed post some pic's?
Terry 04-12-2007, 10:07 PM just bumping still interested....

Pat's traction bars come out sweet, nice easy bracket assy, a good sleeved polymount insert on either end ,with the adjuster nut in the center. It took all of 10 minutes to install and that included painting the brackets when it cooled down , I definately am goin to get them done on my Tib, the wheel hop was frikkin Skeeeery:(
ScassassinTib 04-16-2007, 01:07 AM I was going to make mine, but now i am just going to buy a set. I dont have time to play around with it all. I am going to be trying to get my motor ready.
Terry 04-28-2007, 08:14 PM I'm trying to get on at Bryles research and taste foods for market testing just to have extra money to buy these. Is there an ETA yet?
(I know how busy it is. It's just hard not to spend the money. I'm actually contemplating going out on a *gasp* date instead. Someone knock the sense into me.)
