I think I have a stock one I can send you in a pinch...

But you will need to look at the top pic and make sure you didn't strip any threads out.

The top pic looks like you bent the extra clamp, so hopefully there's no issue there. As for the bottom one, I think the bar coming down from the drag link should be straight. If the rain slows a bit, I'll go out and take a look at mine. FYI, my rig is similar to yours, but long bed and it has no steering stabilizer, so you could go without one.

Broke the steering damper... other part is fine. Pull the damper off and be done.

If your steering wheel is straight, you didn't hurt the top bar.

riffraff: dont see any stripped threads.. the steering stabilizer might be more expensive for me with shipping costs? (than sourcing out locally?)

Like the guys said, the bar is supposed to look like that. Drive it for a while and see how it handles. If you're ok with the way it does, I wouldn't even bother replacing the stabilizer.

I guess I'm blind, but I don't see anything wrong in the first picture.

What were you trying to capture? Everything looks ok to me.
