No pic didn't happen! Lol EVO Track bar bracket works great for me.
Edit: Ive also ran a Metal Cloak bracket & it worked great as well.

Most aftermarket brackets use the sock one to at least locate the new bracket. It seems silly to weld on the turd stock bracket only to bolt another around it....
Artec makes a full weld on bracket that I have used before.

Edit to add that this is a fairly common issue with the bracket you have. Especially when only bolted. I think I would take the opportunity to upgrade.
Also, I now have the EVO bracket on my Jeep because I had a bad roll bump issue with the Metalcloak bracket and bar (you have to use their bar with their bracket) so I would avoid it.

Actually, you can run the MC bracket with a stock track bar. I've never had any roll center issues with it but hated the way it was attached to the axle. Plus it wasn't compatible with the EVO bolt on coilover Kit. I don't think he would have any problems welding on a EVO track bar if he decided to go that route.
You must not be running the stock exhaust, or you had their first bracket design. The 2nd gen bracket is taller than the first and a straight or the stock bar will hit the stock exhaust at driver rear stuff. You'll notice a downward bent on the bracket side of their bar to eleviate the contact point.

You may be correct there. I do have a after market exhaust & I can see where a stock exhaust would hit. But according to their site it will work but that's not saying it's correct either. Lol
Oh, I don't know.... maybe they've changed it again. I know I wasn't the only one to recieve a bracket shortly after the redesign and have roll bump.

I've heard of others having the same issue either way I agree with you on getting a weld on track bar.

Was the RK bracket just bolted on or welded on as well before it got ripped off?
Thanks.
