I had been waiting for the classic traction bars to arrive since before xmas. I just called james duff and they told me that the classics aswell as the large and small housing have all been discontinued ... I'm soooooo incredably disapointed i could just about cry . I'm been waiting over a year to get a set and now its just not even possible.

So if you wanted duff traction bars , sorry , your SOL.

 

great, that was my next purchase too.

 

dang that sucks.....o well...

 

mine will be for sale in a year or so...

 

I thought they were a popular item. Did they say why they discontinued them.

 

That sucks what other Traction bars are out there for Rangers?

 

Didn't RCD develop a set of bars? I wasnt sure if they ever went to market.

 

I know Lakewood makes traction bars for the Rangers but I dont know how good they are.

 

$$$$$$$$$

but it pays to play..

make some..thats what ill be doing..or something in those lines (:

 

I have the RCD bars and if there is enough interest in them i will try to make a few sets of them...

Then again, it will be a little pricier than the james duff $80 ones

 

i forgot what they looked like too lol..

werent they a few hundred from RCD?

 

I asked why and said they seem like a pupular item. they said they are not popular at all.


Hey alon you should make duff style bars !

I personaly am not intersted in any kind of traction bar that doesn't mount above the leafs . if the bars go under I'm sure to smash them up on a rock one day.

 

James duff recently moved their shops to Tennesse from Squim Wa. I think they may have been bought out by another company and that is why some parts may not be continued. It may be possible to get some made if a group buy were to be done.

 

the only duff bar they still have is 5302 for the bronco ... that one won't work will it ?

 

I would be intersted in some for my 1999 ranger

 

damn that sucks, im glad i got mine when i did.

 

Procomp makes some, they aint cheap like the duff ones though!

i have some traction bars under the leafs and they dont touch anything at all and i have been through some pretty rought stuff with her

 

Warrior Products makes some, they call them TorqueBarz.

No experience with them, no idea what they cost, but definately worth looking into I think!

 

i wonder if anyone could copy the duff bar design and sell them themselves

 

-picks nose-

 

that looks like a very simple design..i dont see why i couldnt make some..

ive got access to metal brakes, steel, and all the other misc tools to cut all that crap..

 

I have a dozen of the brackets that mount to the u-bolts. that is the hardest part of the system to recreate.

 

Dang couldnt you just lie to me! lol that sucks I wanted to get some traction bars but not for 300 bucks
