Default Traction Bars are finally done

It took a while to get all of the supplies and time to finish my traction bars but they are finally finished. The joints are Ballistics Fabrication heavy duty 3", the tubing is DOM 1.5" ID 2.25" OD .375" wall. The mounting brackets were made from scrap that was laying around. I wanted something short so that I can put it on the lift without having to make any adjustments and stout so that I never have to worry about them breaking or bending.

The joints were roughly $80 each and the tubing was $17/foot. The mounts were made from tubing that I had laying around and the bolts, nuts, and washers were $40. For a grand total of roughly $520. I know that I could have bought a set for a very similar amount but not of this quality, strength, and a specified length.
