Has anyone fitted a 4th gen traction bar yet? If so was it easy? How long did it take?

Cool. Where does it attach to and what does it replace? I am thinking about getting one.

My google won't load for me to find a reference pic, but I think it just picks up on the two towing eye plate locations.

If that is true I wont be able to fit one then as one of my front towing eyes is fooked

I'll do some looking into it this morning. Thanks.

What the bolt holes?

Do not fear! I've just looked on my phone to refresh myself and it doesn't pick up on them. Looks like it just picks up on the existing front cross member fixing holes (2 each side).

I must be confused at what you meant.

Also I am sure there are a few different manufactures of these. Are there any recommended brands?

Innovative Competition? Does this pone not have a front engine mount?

Explicit Performance?

Well the groupbuy I did was for Innovative. There are lots of ebay special ones over in the States (Of course you'd have to syphon between the experienced and hearsay posts in threads to find out if they're any good or not.) or there's the ESP (Explicit Speed Performance) one, again from the States.

They're the only ones I'm aware of I think.

You and your bloody edits!

No, the Innovative one doesn't have the front mount. Oodles of people have used one without and have had no issues. generally they have uprated mounts in the other locations though, and I wouldn't recommend running OEM mounts without the front.
