I own the VTTR Diff drop brackets and pan hard drop bracket. The front diff drop brackets are great...no problems. The rear ended up cracking on me after about 6 months.

Did the rear break from too much abuse or poor quality?

i'm curious about that also, when it cracked did it let go or did you find a crack in it while cleaning up or something like that?

Truthfully i'm not sure. I've taken it off road about 4 times on pretty big rocks...for a 99 tracker. I didn't even notice and one day i took my truck into my mechanics to have the brakes done and he told me the pan hard bracket was cracked.

ok, good to know that it didn't let go and F up your rig!  did you weld it to fix it or just remove it?   how much rear lift are you running?

i got in contact with vttr, quoted 180usd shipped to canada for all parts.  the front drop brackets are 80usd & the panhard bracket is 32usd.  is anybody else interested in any of these parts?  the shipping is 68usd, i don't imagine it would change if anybody else wanted to piggyback the order.  i'll wait to hear if anybody is interested but imagine i'll order soon.  cheers - B

I'd be interested in the rear bracket if I could find somewhere that sells the strut extensions, I'm having no luck finding those

what about going directly to bds for a distributor?  they should be able to point you in the right direction.  let me know if you have any luck.

The local supplier can't or won't come up with anything and I don't see a direct link to contact BDS on their site  ??? I see Boondox has them on their site but they seem to be in limbo, any other ideas

Tried a semi-local supplier?

I had mine shipped to me from an hour away as the local supplier wasn't helpful either.
