i pulled out my front sway bar a LONG time ago... havent had any problems yet. the rear one is 2 bolts, so i will just unbolt it from the body and let it bounce around when i go wheelin. hell sometimes i dont put it back for a while, and i drive my runner like a sports car, and dont have any problems...

They're available from all the same companies, they just advertise (and stock in stores) the 3rd gens more because that's what selling the fastest. (I tried to link to old threads about them but the forum owners in their infinite wisdom have rearranged everything and the links are invalid...)

I just un-bolt mine to wheel - takes all of 5 minutes front and rear.
The secret is to spray the nuts and take them off and on occasionally.
I zip tie them when wheeling.

After more searching i found these... http://www.yankeetoys.org/lee/sway-bar.htm Are they any good?
FROR has them but they don't show for what years...

I also read that Northwest Offroad sells 2nd gen discos but i don't see them on their website and i prob wouldn't order from them anyway.
I would just unbolt them for off roading but when its freezing cold outside plus the the time it takes to air down/up my tries, i'd rather have something quick and easy. Far as permanently taking the front or rear bar off...no-can-do...i travel on too many fast winding roads to justify doing that.

Ditto the unbolt them thing. Nothing to it. If you only unbolt one side no zip tying is needed.

Yep with my tippy girl fully loaded driving 6 hours to Moab 4 Quick Disconects are a MUST! This looks good. I'll look into it too!

Sway Bar....what's that
I too, ran the disconnects for a few months...it's just another thing to mess with before/after wheelin'...I later ditched the sway bar completely. I still have the disconnect kit (NWOR) if anyones interested.
I guess it depends where you spend most of your time. If you're a "pavement pounder", by all means....leave it in

I wheel a-lot!! But when I have to drive a distance to go wheeling and my runner is full it gets way to scarry with the body roll. To me it is worth it. I might be interested in your kit. I have a 2nd Gen. What do you have?

I put a post in the offroad section about discos. I recently got some Robinhood150 knockoffs, and wheeled with them for the first time last weekend. When I went to put them back on I noticed the swaybar had been rubbing on the drivshaft.
What do you guys use to keep this from happening? Do you tie up the swaybar?

All Phase Off Road in Longmont Colorado. Mine is a custom but if you have a 2nd Gen I assume they can model it after mine and ship it to ya. Dave and Vaughn (The 2 owners) are awesome. They did my front bumpers and are doing my Exocage this spring!
My rig is bomb proof because of them. Cuz lord knows I've tried blowing it up....
Oh and here is the front bumper they did:
And more rear bumper goodness....
