OK, here's the deal with the intrax. I was going to install the rear bar yesterday but have a few issues:
1) The U-bolts are actually "U" shaped, not a V like the rear Axel
2) The bushings that go on the bar for the "U" bolts is
CHEAP PLASTIC! All the other bushings are black prothane
3) The holes in the bottom plates for the brackets don't line up with each other or the "U" bolt. Also those holes are a hair too small for the "U" bolt to fit through.
4) the box says "OEM replacement & upgrade "
NO DRILLING REQUIRED" but the crap-tastic instructions say to drill
I fired off an E-mail to intrax bitching about their shotty R&D for our cars and their poor quality controls. I asked for brackets that FIT, but honestly, I'm probably going to have to make my own.
But since the brackets don't fit together right, I'm kinda wondering about bar now... Just glad I did a test fit before I got my car in the air...
None the less, I'll let you know what I find out & keep you posted
I was wondering about this bar, their web site is rather confused about J-body's there no real info there, but it is a "pretty" web site.
you have any pics of it ???
Looks like you're the guiney pig and things aren't going well.
Considering how easy some of the others install, I suspect nobody will be recommending this one to anyone.
Gotta love when a company comes late to the table with a drastically inferior product. *sigh* Just trying to grab a piece of the pie without putting any real effort in.
dam i didnt even notice it was you rj ? LOL
so why you trying to install stuff with out me ???
lunch is cheap , lol
Yeah, would like to see pics of this thing too.
What size is it?

Eric:
I like to think I can do some stuff on my own. I'll bring the bars over on Saturday when we do my drop so you can see what I'm talking about. Besides, i may need your help with Ken 2.2's subframe brace since I don't own a drill
Everyone else:
I'll post pics later tonight when i get home from school.
Hey Dead bob did receive the Sub Frame brace yet? I was just wondering.
Ken 2.2:
Maybe, i have at least 1 package waiting in my apt. complex manager's office that was delivered on Saturday. I haven't had the time to pick it up yet to find out what it is.
I have 4 packages I'm waiting on (including yours), and my G/F is waiting on 2 so there's no telling what showed up.
