I got my new Carli track bar installed last night. It was pretty easy to do, but ended up having to bust loose the upper steering linkage (or whatever it's called) to get the axle side bolt back in. Even with the wheel turned all the way to the right, it wasn't going back in. I initially had it set a 39 1/8" but the axle was still not centered so I took it out to 39 1/4". It's still not perfect but it's much better. A few quick turns on the upper steering linkage adjustment and the steering wheel was centered again, so no need for an alignment just yet. Don't really notice much difference from stock, but my truck has less than 9k miles so stuff isn't worn out yet. Still plan on replacing the control arms with either Carli or Pure Performance before too long. I like the PP because they are adjustable, and cheaper...

Last pic also shows my Lamin-x tinted fog lights that I did a while back. They blend in much better now.

I installed my Carli diff guard today. Had to do some minor grinding on the bottom of the axle housing but it wasn't too bad. I also put on my Moes 85mm ported TB today, no pics of that though.

Let me know how you like the TB. I've almost got the wife convinced I need one.

I have a little better throttle response and it feels like it pulls a little harder on the top end. I say it's worth it.

Kyle, your diff guard should bolt right up with no grinding. I found out that the Power Wagons have a little extra casting around the housing for extra strength. This is what has to be ground off.

What is the Carli Track bar for Morgan? I want to go lower but already have a little bump steer when I'm on especially bad roads...it tends to walk to the right a bit. I'm sure that unit is only for 4x4 or 2500 or both but I would love to fab something up to firm up my steering.
