I found these on Xterrafirma and the post says they aren't for sale yet and will probably be pretty expensive. Always cool to see new aftermarket stuff for Nissan's and especially Xterra's.
All 4130 Heat Treat TIG WELDED PARTS


They aren't on the SLR website yet.

if they would make them for the hardbody it would make me a very happy camper.

Is it common for these to fail?

Have never seen one fail in the splines if the Tbar was installed correctly. Have seen a few Tbars spin out, but they weren't seated all the way to begin with.

Still, this would be good for a desert race truck like the ones SLR plays with.

I wouldn't say it's "common", but I managed to shear one completely in HALF when I got high-centered on it, then got "yanked" off. This is NOT fun. You then have to drive with your whole susp. collapsed!!! (YEAH...it sucked!!!!) Don't know if it matters or not, but I have 2 OR 3 in my garage STILL that came off of my '01 Frontier. They're used, but in good working condition, since I shortly thereafter went to a SAS! Later...

I've heard one or two stories of the rear one breaking. I never broke one and abused the IFS pretty good.

Then again I never broke a half shaft either, probably should have though

One of the NOAS guys broke one a couple years ago. He jammed a piece of wood between the bump stops to hold it up. Or it might have been a rock.

at last years ecxc i seen 1 of each fail in the same day. 5 months before that, my own pass side tbar adjuster turned into a pretzel. now i keep spares when ever i wheel.

MVM did that same thing on a NTLA run in KY. Nissan Mike stuck a piece of wood in there to get him to camp and his wife brought his spares from home. Turned out that MVM did not have the new bars in all the way causing the shear.
Lator....

That is an easy mistake to make.

He must have done that install himself.

Come on Andy, give him a break, I bet it was his alter ego!

Greta idea. I have seen a few adjusters strip out.

Man that guy pisses me off, he's been posting a bunch of crap on pirate latley under "NissanRecoveryTeam." Been building a formula toy, thank god someone else built and welded the cage for him, but thats still no gaurentee it will stay attached to the frame .
