I would never argue that a upgraded rubicon is a better than stock jeep, but I never made the jump and always get base sports and have no issues. I will say , MT tires or something similar is a huge upgrade over the HT/AT stock tires. But... I am still running my cheapies on my jl and keep up with everyone other than in the bogs. My point, stock sport is sooooo good anyhow so this channel is my jam.

That is a great solution for the disconnect. I've the JKS ones and they so work great. But as to 'used' part upgrades, thete are great things to be had dirt cheap. I picked up a brand new Rubicon Recon suspension for $100 - the guy had a mopar lift put on his as soon as it arrived at the dealership. It gave me a 2.5" lift on my 2 door sport s. $60 for the longer control arms and I still spent less than $200 for a nice upgrade.

I considered that route but when I happened across the Apex Autolynx being mentioned in Jan of ‘21, I was one of the first to get them installed. Disconnect with the turn of a knob on the top of the end links and reconnect within 15secs and drive. For $400, they’re my favorite mod. No crawling in the dirt and no electric to run. They just replace your end links. Yeah, I’m a fanboy now. lol

LOL - as I state in the video, there are LOTS of aftermarket options available. For our purposes, we're trying to keep Pippi as stock as possible and that any mods we do make are done with budget in mind. $140 for a factory swaybar disco is that and we love it. Of course, with just a little more money, I can make it work off the air compressor I do plan on installing and it would work with a push of a button too.

@@wayalife Oh I hear you. Keep the ideas coming! What you did here was great. When I was looking into it, I had no idea a JK sway bar disconnect would work. The few used JL units online were $400 on up. I’d have gone the Evo mod, like you, so a bit more $ to get that in there too. The Autolynx just peaked my curiosity and they ended up being the flashiest pieces on my Jeep. For the most part, I like to keep mine modded with stock parts too. That way, if I break a part far from home…they’re usually easier to come by to get going again. Thanks for sharing this idea with the community. 👍🏼

Could you use the same setup on the rear sway bar as well
@wayalife
@wayalife 2 жыл бұрын
The factory rear sway bar is soft enough to manipulate by hand and will NOT limit your flex. You do NOT want to disconnect fully it as it will provide well needed stability, especially on off camber situations.

I have this on my JKU and I love it. My JL 392 has the factory nanny disconnect and cant stand it. It reconnects at 15 mph on and off, off and on... Any feed back on the JL idiot light for the swaybar, if i removed the factory motor?

I don't even know what I just saw? So a factory Sway bar disconnect allows that radical of articulation? How does it do while still remaining in the housing? Always wondered that.

If you look at it carefully, it's essentially an exhaust hanger. There is a rubber sling that helps to keep the motor from rotating. In other words, there is NO load.

Hmm, here's a sway bar disconnect question. I recently picked up a set of JKS Quicker Disconnects to put on my stock JK. The install should be no issue, but I have heard reports that stock drivers might suffer popped tires when using them. Some events have happened because of the sway bar being lifted out of the way. For that, it is recommended to keep the sway bar horizontal. But there are also reports of the studs the links fit over popping tires. Any ideas of ways to prevent that, or might your trick with the steering stops for rubbing tires help?
@wayalife
@wayalife Жыл бұрын
If you run big tires on wheels with too much back spacing like you really shouldn't, yeah, your sidewalls WILL catch on the storage studs and can cause a failure.

So where does one find a non-working rubicon sway bar? Cannot seem to put in the correct search words to get anything but working ones to come up and they are running around $900.

I found mine on craigslist but have seen them on marketplace too. Even for a working disconnect, $900 is way too much these days.

Good for you on finding a sway bar for $140. Everyone I talk to that has one wants like $300 to $1000 for just the sway bar. Just wondering if I can find one for JL or JT would this Knob work on it, or only for the JK?

As mentioned in the video, the sway bar motor didn't work. That's why it was so cheap. Also, the EVO knob would work on a JL or JT sway bar.

I have another question please I’d like to get some of the quick disconnect swaybar links for the front of my 2023 JL wrangler. Which ones do you suggest that are good to install and also I would like to not have to cut the mounting bracket like I see on some of them. I don’t really need a sway bar disconnect too much but when I need it, I’d like to have one. Any suggestions would be appreciated again thank you so much.

If you don't see yourself really needing them, I would recommend that you just stick with the factory links and manually disconnect them as needed. You can see how it's done in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIK7Z4l7h65olZI
