|  New option for upper Link mount I was doing a search on here for other options for the upper mount on the WK and decided to look around Home Depot. I originally was searching for 1/4" aluminum c-channel instead of trying to get ahold of a set of the TLT suspension stays. I didn't feel like buying a 8' stick of it. I found in the bolt/screw isle, brackets made for glass hinges. They are approx 1.5" long, 1/4 steel c-channel with some of the necessary holes already in it. They were like $9 for a pair, and when installed just like the TLT ones, work perfectly. They sell them in polished and black. I'll try to get a few pics up shortly. Justin W |

| Your HD only sells aluminum c-channel in 8' sticks? My local Lowes and HDs have it as short as 3' or so I think. |

| Yea, i know $9 for the pair is kinda steep... THe 8' sick of c-channel was 7 or 8 and i didn't want to have 7'10" laying around. LOL. I had a gift card, so I didn't pay anything for them, but I was just listing the price in case anyone else wanted to know. My local HD only has the 8' peices, it's only like 5 mins from my house. Lowes is like 15 mins and ACE is about 15 the other way. So I couldn't justify spending the extra gas just for a $5 peice of aluminum. I got the WK muddy as hell yesterday, so she'll need to get washed, then I"ll snap a few pics. later |

| I have a couple phone pics to get the idea... still didn't clean it though, lol.    the top two are installed pics. the bracket is cut approx in half, then drilled to match the holes. I actually only drilled one hole, and used the "stud" sticking out to center in the factory upper "ball" link spot. The bottom two pics are what they looked like out of the package.  |
