Currie Tow Bar Mounting Plate

Currie makes this tow bar mounting plate that is meant for any Jeep Wrangler JK from 2007 and later.  This includes the plate that bolts on and serves as a replacement for the plastic valance panel that the factory installed.  It also comes with the attaching forks for the tow bar as well as all of the hardware that you will find necessary to install the mounting plate.  This plate comes to you with a black powder coat in semi-gloss.

This particular tow bar mounting plate works in conjunction with most of the new Blue Ox towing bars, the CE-9033D towing bars or the CE-9033F towing bars. 

Please note that if our Jeep is a 2010 or later model, you might need to do a bit of minor trimming right on the bottom of your front cross member in order for this tow bar mounting plate to fit properly.  Also, in 2013 there were some special edition of Jeep JK Wranglers that were introduced.  These particular Jeeps have front bumpers that are not compatible with this tow bar mounting plate at all.  These Jeeps include each and every one of the special editions featuring a bumper that has an integrated mount for the winch fairlead.

Currie Antirock Sway Bar Kit

 

Currie makes an antirock sway bar that gives you a balanced performance for both your front and your rear suspension during even the most extreme driving conditions on or off the trails.  With this sway bar, you will experience traction that is enhanced.  This enhancement is delivered because of the sway bar first distributing and then balancing the weight of the load over all four – or more – of your tires.  This particular antirock sway bar that Currie makes is crafted to be a direct replacement part for your sway bar that was installed by the factory.

This sway bar that Currie makes has been crafted from SAE 4130 steel that has been heat treated in order to give it a strength that is unparalleled.  This type of steel happens to be the very same type that you see being used in the more popular off road professional competitions.  This sway bar comes to you in a kit that contains each of the components that you will find necessary for a proper and safe installation of the antirock sway bar.  Contents of the kit include instructions that are very highly detailed and complete as well as all of the hardware that is necessary – including the bushings – for installation and of course the sway bar itself.  This is an installation that is amazingly simple too.  Just position the sway bar through your cross member that is located in the front and then simply attach the sway bar to your stock mounting points that are located right on the housing of our axle.

Another amazingly useful thing about this particular sway bar is the fact that it does not need to be disconnected when you decide to hit the trails.  When this sway bar made by Currie is installed properly, you might notice that your rig has more of a pronounced body roll that that which it had with the factory installed sway bar.  That said, while you can use this sway bar in highway applications, your street performance will be altered.

Antirock Sway Bar Kit by Currie for Rear

This is the kit you need to install Currie’s antirock sway bar on the rear end of your LJ or TJ.  This is an incredibly simple install as everything that you will find in the kit is made to simply be bolted on.  The only exception to this is the housing tabs that must be welded to the actual housing.  This kit contains a 45 inch sway bar, installation instructions, all of the hardware necessary for installation, housing tabs, sway bar links, sway bar bushings and frame brackets.

Please note: even though this installation is simple, proceed with caution if you have never welded anything before.

 

Currie Johnny Joint Control Arms

Currie Johnny Joints

A common heim joint will give you 22 degrees of movement that is unrestricted in any direction.  One of the Johnny Joints by Currie will give you 30 degrees.  Inside the rod ends of the Johnny Joints is a bushing that has been made from what is known as tough 88 urethane that is very high density.  This urethane is what encases the inner ball.  This material is extremely durable and it also happens to be impervious to weather.

The ball itself is made from steel that has been heat treated to give it additional strength.  The models that are 2 inches or 2 and a half inches feature a ball that has been cross drilled to allow for thru-bolt lubrication.  Lubrication for the 3 inch joint is completed via a zerk fitting that is found on the outer shell.  These shells are also made from steel that has been heat treated. 

The 3 inch joints feature retaining washers that have been machined from chrome moly 4340 and these washers have a snap ring safety integrated into them that will prevent the snap ring from slipping out.  

Included with the 2 inch joints is a 7/16 inch thru-bolt that is able to be greased.  That said, the 3 inch joints do not come with the ¾ inch bolt that they accept.  You can also get the 2 inch joints with a ¾ inch threaded RH stud that is welded on to the joint. 

Assembly/Disassembly Tool for the 2 ½ inch Johnny Joint

This is a new tool made by Currie that has been designed to ease the assembly and disassembly of the rod ends on the 2 ½ inch Johnny Joints.  You can use this tool in conjunction with a bench vise or on the vehicle itself when you are rebuilding or repairing your Johnny Joints.  The tool is made from steel components that have been heat treated and CNC machined.  There is a 13 ½ inch all thread as well as thrust bearings that are premium.  The tool itself is also able to be rebuilt and the parts to rebuild the tool are sold by Currie.

LJC/MJ/TJ/XJ Front End Housing Johnny Joint Conversion Kit

This is a new kit that allows for the installation of 2 inch Johnny Joints on your aftermarket or stock housings instead of the typical control arm bushings that are mounted into the housings.  The kit comes with the installation tool as well as a Johnny Joint insert meant for the gear case ear.  It also has an inch thick steel upright that has been flame cut.  While there is a bit of cutting and welding involved, installation can be done quickly by a person with the right tools, skills and knowledge.
