Review of Currie Track Bar for Jeep TJ, ZJ, and XJ
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- This video covers the basics of the Currie Enterprises adjustable track bar, or panhard bar, for the Jeep Wrangler TJ, Cherokee XJ, and Grand Cherokee ZJ. Freiburger also shows you the suspension setup including Iron Rock Off-Road kuckle-over steering and a Dynatrac ProRock 44 front axle.
This is more fun to watch for me than any of the actual shows. Just casual at-home car work. (well, discussion in this case, but you know)
Like many below, not really a Jeep fellow (though I somehow find myself involved with either of the neighbors' YJs or the lone TJ on occasion), but I really appreciate the off-road suspension tech.
FYI: I had a knee-jerk reaction at the end of this video to slam the mute button on the ever-terrible Roadkill Extra audio backfire cue, then realized I wasn't watching an Extra. Bless you for this.

I am happy to watch you here, thanks for the post.
Currie is like snap-on. Magically expensive, and not really any better than the competition.
Glad to see you own a TJ like me, the last real Jeep made before they switched to Hummer production.
Keep up on the updates!! I got a tj and I like to see reviews on parts before I go out and get them thanks David
I am NOT a Jeep guy. But because this is Freiburger, it's very informative and just fun to watch. Thanks!
Nice. Thanks for posting this!
Hi David, it seems like curie's new design. Uses a johnny joint at the frameside track bar as well
I like your videos and Mike's videos from your personal channel .the remind me how roadkill used to be. Keep up with the video I will keep watching every one you put up.
john mason check out luckys channel aswell
krashdown102 I watch Lucky's every video
john mason same here can’t get enough
krashdown102 I wounder when there is a new video from FSM Mike's channel coming
john mason dunno but the last one reminded me of hot rod garage when he was the host .
Have you done anything to the V10 Ram lately? Would be nice to see a short video on its operational status.
Hey David, I got a crazy good idea for some content for your channel, just hear me out for a second. What if you and one of your pals, that Finnegan seems like a swell guy, just bring a few Gopro cameras and go on a road trip. Might not sound like much, but I got a feeling something like that could become fairly popular. To make it even more exciting perhaps you could travel in cheap old cars. I trust I'll hear from you!
Thumbs up! Thanks for sharing, Dave!
I intentionally put heim joint steering "in a bind" I despise tie rod roll so clock the heims in opposite directions. For steering purposes they do not need to match. It's essentially a spherical ball and socket. Doesn't hinder steering at all what so ever clocking the heims in opposite direction. They have full range of motion regardless.
Neat, don't deal with a lot of Jeeps, but new information is always handy. I do wonder how those hime joints would hold up after a winter of use in Manitoba due to sanding and beet juicing the roads to control ice build up.
ThatManitobaGuy they don't do to bad if you keep them clean and heavily oild/greased I've seen them go as long as 8 year s well maintained and our road are just as bad in Ontario..
State test prep and David Freiburger youtube makes a great pair
Rough country makes dual stabilizer shocks for the steering kits for Jeep XJ's, and TJ's.
Nice setup Freiburger
Why haven't you been working on your CJ8 need to see it back out and yes my reel name is cj and I have a cj7 that's the same faded green as yours.
Great video! I just ordered the Rubicon Express adjustable track bar and new tie rod and drag link ends. Been thinking about going with a heim joint setup like yours. Also considering swapping the NSG370 6 speed for an sm465 4 speed.
How much for a ZJ? LOL Show me a gear head that hasn't ever owned a Jeep! I'm digging the Jeep video's, keep them coming!
David any update on your TJ? I was thinking of going Currie as well do you have a adjustable rear trac bar is it necessary? I was going to buy the 4” kit with anti rock and going 35 or hope they fit 35. I always enjoy your road trip with the family in the TJ and love the other content as well hope you and your family had a great Christmas thank you for all you do
Proably not s big deal, but the upper JKS disconnect mounts go around the factory swaybar ends. Bolted to the bottom is how most cheaper ones do it, but check out the JKS directions.
Very informative, keep it up. Also it reminded me to go and see if there is anything new on MOD. Would love to see some video of the superbee and crusher Camaro.
Adam the Atom bomb he has had that thing a long time and with dick Landy building the motor for it, I don't he would ever entertain selling it. I would think many people have made offers on it.
Thank you for the info! Any ZJ tips?
Nice setup. I'm running the Iron Rock track bar in my '91 XJ with Rubicon 4.5" coils and fixed length LCA's. Really need to ditch the stock upper arms but not sure if I should go adjustable at this height?
Any advice on some decent riding shocks under $50/ea.? I'm running some stock JK shocks and they seem to be way to stiff for the XJ.
More tj videos!
Do you have any issue with the brake calipers contacting the inner Cs causing a loose of braking? I have the same axle.
I'm putting wj spindles on my zj and am searching for the best track bar this one looks like it has the correct angle at the passenger side. Also it looks like you have wj type spindles did you do a. Ideology on that?
Plug and play for XJ I believe
Hi David, We need an update on this Jeep
Wish i had money and time to work on my own cars right now
Great video! Is the adjustable track bar necessary for any height of lift, or it it just necessary for the 4 inch and up?
Andrew Groat Pretty much 4 and up. I got away with the stock bar for a long time.
Good to know, thanks!
Nice underparts.
can you do a road trip with Finnegan with a 1966 or 67 Pontiac GTO from where ever but come to Ohio where i live please!
With motortrend on demand, to get it free do I have to pick one for the free 14 days and then cancel it or something? I don't mind the ads
ONLY THE BEST!!
where do you wheel my dad knows some good spots in the inland empire
Wow that looks like the same setup as my rc car
NEED MORE ROADKILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its no longer on youtube from what i understand only mtdemand.
I know but I want to watch the "ugly truckling" for free!
You can watch it for free on mtodemand with ads :) But 5 bucks per month is really worth it. What they do is not cheap.
it's free on motortrend.com after 4 or 8 weeks. Or you can just pay like normal people. You don't walk into a convenience store and demand they give you free stuff, do you?
I try sign up I'm from Australia don't let me block web try 5 different phone iPad
identical to the JKS?
quick question, what do you think a 1973 mustang mach 1 Q code 4 speed cobra jet, glow blue paint would go for at auction, my dad owns one, thanks!
With holes through the quarter panels and trunk floor - $4-5k at best. Decent driver w/no rust, $7-10. Excellent, $12.5k. Flawless resto w/proper ford assembly decals, etc, $15-20k.
thanks dude, my dads is probably a $7-10 grand decent driver, his need some paint in some places because its cracking.
i am a big fan!
Adam the Atom bomb Thanks!
What's the rig in the background that's sitting on the Maxxis Trepadors at 0:00?
Probably his green CJ8
Sideways Starion My Scrambler On 42s
Ahhhhh, so UA-cam does still have its use?
I wouldn't know, but I'm sure the video was monetized...
Jesus Christ is Lord and savior and he is the son of God believe in him and have everlasting life
When roakill coming back to UA-cam
Dylan Follett when they start sharing the ad revenue again
Lets see s video about your Scrambler?
jeeps have the worst geometry when it comes to factory linked suspension... do you get bump steer?
rock sloth Not much.
David Freiburger just curious youd think as a big car manufacturer they would have like perfect geometry.. but that separation between the Panhard and drag link on the axle says other wise lol love the content keep it coming!
I just can't get myself to spend 2500 on an axle for a 10k jeep, sure looks nice though 👍
Let me know where you’re finding a Dana 44 for $2500
Where is Roadkill?!
TheSuperc63 it is on motortrend on demand now. You can watch for free but have ads and episodes are 8 weeks back, still new to you if you were watching on UA-cam. You can watch it for free on your phone also but have to download there app. Or you can pay $5 a month and get the newer episodes and other shows with out ads
Matt Lundquist Yeah Matt, the entire fan base knows Roadkill left its youtube fans in the dust. Thanks for the reminder.
TheSuperc63 you asked where it was just telling you where you can find it, it still free just has ads.
Matt Lundquist Free with ads, but its not on youtube. Bring it back!
TheSuperc63 it will never come back to UA-cam , that is a pipe dream.UA-cam is ripping off all creators here with dumb rules that make no sense. Discovery channel is in the business of making money not getting screwed so they left. I my opinion it's UA-cam fault with the new way they are doing ads.
Skoocum as frig

Congratulations. Being the #1 viewer wins you the same prize as the 4 millionth viewer. Enjoy your prize!
So many Jeep mods I want to do so little $$
Sadly :(
Toyota’s are expensive... especially solid axle ones. You can find good Jeeps for about $5000 And have tons of aftermarket support bolt on stuff
In my area (Arizona) Toyota’s are expensive as hell, you can find good yj’s for 5,000 with winches and lockers, heck one for sale has a swapped in 350 v8 for cheap. Cherokee xs’s are dime a dozen as well. Full size Jeep’s are also cheap (except grand Wagoneer because hipsters) cj 5s are also cheap. Tjs are expensive because they are the “last real Jeep” but every once and a while one comes up for cheap. I rink yotas are cool but there are plenty of good options. Off roading is not a cheap hobby anyway. My ride is a 1991 ford bronco, parts are expensive and hard to find for full size broncos. :)
PunchingMegaTree how tf did you get a front axle for 200$?
That looks like a JKS TB not a Currie TB.
Heims suck.
Scott Murphy Except that it is a Currie.
