Default no more axle wrap

Small project that Sureshot and I started last fall.I finally got the bars on his weekend because my truck has been down for a while this winter.I never realized how much axle wrap my truck had.Hopefully this gets rid of it.Not the greatest pics.

Sharpshooter and I made these from metal we bought from a scrap yard, and some heim joints. The brackets were made from pieces of angle iron. We each have $26 in scrap metal and $50 for heim joints, so $76.

Yes, the chains are for a break in the front.

Here are some pics of my set. They are still on my work bench, and haven't been painted yet. I won't be puting these on my truck until I get the 14 bolt swap done.
