Default Anyone make their own torque arm??

Well I did... Didn't like the huge Mig welds floating over me or paying big time for a decent unit.. It's fully adjustable made out of chromemolly tubing and TIG welded.

Looking good and a wise decision made. If one can fabricate their own parts and they function well, why not DIY?

Looks like you're using quality rod ends as well, which IMHO is a very wise decision.

If you're able to, let us know how it does with some more miles on it.

Tyson's TA was awesome. Damn thing can handle what? 600-700hp? I was very impressed!
Wish I had taken a pic while at Jeff's, darn!
I don't think a Mac Truck could damage that thing

Awesome, and the welds Tyson did on my exhaust are still holding. The man indeed does excellent work! I thought about buying that setup, but then I already have TOO MUCH weight as it is, and not enough HP! (lol)
