Steve, you might want to look into swaybar endlink disconnects or removing the front swaybar all together. If there is a swaybar in the rear get it disconnected as well. It does help. Where you are on tippy toes now you will have firm grip on the ground, where you are tricycling now you will have 4 on the floor.

And of course if you get a locker you can lift a rear tire and it won't matter. You will keep going!!

Just added the QDs a couple weeks ago, actually. I've got the article up in the tech section.

An ARB or an Elocker is on the wish list, but it'll be a while before my wife lets me get that.

Not really my fav, but a recent one from July the 6th.



I need to get some more action shots. Maybe showing the wonderful flex of my IFS with the sway bar end links connected
I may look into some QD's in the future. Have not really researched it much.

Added a fresh one from August 3rd. Awesome flex, shagalisious baby

I might try that Leonel.
It's been awhile since I looked at how hard it was, but I did change the front & rear end links to poly a few years back.

Probably just one bolt up front? Could I take a big Zip Tie to begin with and tie it out of the way, or are they going to clang around on me?

I don't have a pic of the fronts, but here is the rear one I replaced.

Wait a second, I think I found one.

Thanks, Corey

Hey, you finally got that thing dirty adam.

jx94148, yeah, my sway bars are connected there. That was my first real trail, slickrock. I still had the running boards on, and my bald street tires were fully inflated.

The only thing I wonder about monty pics is what's the catch? It seems to be free, but there's no info at all about them. And there's no way to delete pics that I know of.

Corey, the sway bar links are really easy, just oil the nuts a lot first. Before I had my QDs I just disconnected one side and let the other side support the sway bar. Actually I didn't even take of the link, just rotated it out of the way.

Steve
