Darren Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Anyone out there make there own? If so..... How'd it come out? What would you do differently? Problems?
Derek Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 i made some for a guy, he said they worked fine for the few months he ran them cut stocker in the middle take tube that is slightly higher ID then the OD of the stock link drill hole on each end and use pins with cotter pins on the ends lovely paint shop drawing -green is stock link -red is tube -blue is pins
JOMJ87 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I Did the same thing But make sure you round the end of the pins off to make it alot easier to put back together. ;) If you want pics i can send them to you or post them. Cole
PlumCrazy Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Wow, I learned something new...homebrew is something we make and drink on weekends :cheers: Wayne S

Kenosha Warrior Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 what is a disco... just so I'm not so confused when I see it all over the place.
Hot Rod Jeep Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Disco is short for disconnect, or in this case a sway bar quick disconnect. 8)
Kenosha Warrior Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Disco is short for disconnect, or in this case a sway bar quick disconnect. 8) ah, muchthanks. we should really create a dictionary of these terms and stick it up somewhere here.
Hot Rod Jeep Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Yeah that's a good idea. It took me a few days to figure out what IIRC and PITA meant too, so don't feel bad. 8)
GirsMJ86 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 pete said we will eventually have a thing to state what all the terms stand for along with info on how to tell what tranny, transfer case, ect... you have. Alex
Pete M Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Yup, when we can get around to putting together a website. Right now school is kicking my butt. Classes-->
GirsMJ86 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Classes--> <--me hmmm... i think i have seen this before. oh wait it was life vs. pete back during the hacker thing i think. lol. back to the topic: what are discos really used for? it is about one of the only things i have never really looked into since i don't know why i would need them. Alex
JOMJ87 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Ok just for you to see in person pull one tire up on a ramp and take a look at everything as far as flex. Then unbolt your sway bar and pull back up. You will see a huge diff in flex between the 2. You use a disco so that you can have them connected for road driving and then in a flick of some pins there are disconected and you get way better flex. I love haveing them but they can be a pain to put back on :wall: but i just need to refine them. Look into it you will like the difference in the flex of your rig. Just make sure you don't leave them disco'd on the road cause you will NOT stay in the road at higher speeds I know from experience and with saying that you also need to have extra pins in the truck at all times. BTW i can post pics if needed i have 2 jepps here with the same homemade setup on them just let me know. Or ill try to find some i might have a little later and go ahead. Cole
JOMJ87 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 here's my friends YJ same as mine just i didnt have a pic of mine you can see the clips and everything. Just keep in mine he has about 6" of lift and 35s also when you do it don't just cut the stockers in half we cut a chunk out of it and it worked out great just leave a little more than you need to drill the hole for the pins. Plus his stock arms are straight and ares are bent at the top. Cole
GirsMJ86 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 ok i get them now. i might have to look into them for my new baby. are there kits out there for the MJ or would homebrew be the best route? Alex
Oizarod115 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 i think this should do it... http://www.jeepin.com/features/discons/index.asp if you didnt like the other ideas that is. they looked easier
