My linkage bar fell off as well about 2 years ago and I had to buy the full setup from the dealer. And if that wasn't a rip off enough, they didn't sell it with the set screw / bolt. So I had to make a trip to Home Depot and match a bolt up to it. Kinda makes you wonder why it's such a weak link system that's so easy to fall apart . . . oh wait, nevermind LOL

I don't remember exactly now, but it was around $100 I think. In that pic that Mike posted, I had to buy the connecting rod, and both metal "arms" (the pieces that connect to the transfer case and the lever in the cab) just so I could get the rubber grommets. The dealer I went to didn't want to sell just the rubber grommets. I transferred both grommets to my original hardware and then just popped in the linkage bar. Not at all a very secure setup. I imagine running over a good size branch at the right angle could prolly pop the thing loose again.
