it is peemp for sure!
looks bad ass, nice job
what'd the traction bar bracket start as? 2x4x1/4?
Thanks for all the compliments everyone
I meant the axle-end bracket. It looks really stout.
Did you run a shackled traction bar on either of your old rigs? Just wondering if you noticed any difference between a slip vs. shackle setup.
No, my old truck had the extra traction leaf on top of the spring pack, and the buggy had the two bars mounted from the frame to the axle directly under the spring. Both setups were pretty different from what I have now. Plus I haven't really had anything to test these things on yet.
a couple of new pics from the trip to Tree's in February

Man that thing looks peemp.
on your rear slip and twist traction bar, did you have any heims or were there just bushings at every end? Also how did this set-up work out for you?
I know this is a old post, but I figured I would answer it and give some updates.
On the slip and twist, I had a 3/4 hiem at the frame. I sold it before I got to try it out much, but it seemed to eliminate any hopping. The rear still flexes enough that the tires destroyed the fenders up to exo bars running down the length of the bed. As for the front, it still flexes like crazy as well. If I still have access later, I'll try to post some pictures
The new owner is actually located in college station, and he says it works very well and he has noticed no axle wrap, front or rear
