OEM front bar installation continues. Cleaned up the last bracket and installed the bar into the clamps using modified '67 Camaro rear bar bushings. The OE end links are junk so I straightened a set of 94 Wrangler links. Today I took some time to modify aftermarket shock studs so they would fit into the bar. Tomorrow I need to come up with a bushing so the top link can attach to the frame properly.

As a side note the front bar from a 94 ish YJ Wrangler could be a good match for our trucks. If this small OE bar doesn't work out I'm looking at switching to the Wrangler part.
