shawn Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 rubicon auto-disconnecting sway bars. ------ push of a button!
mnkyboy Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I think it would be cool on a stockish rig but I can't see it working on a rig with a lot of flex.
64 Cheyenne Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I think it would be cool on a stockish rig but I can't see it working on a rig with a lot of flex. I like the idea, but don't know why it would need to be "stockish" or not have a lot of flex. Isn't the reason for the disconnect is so that you can have lots of flex? Wasn't there an aftermarket unit available, you just twisted a knob kind of like a hub, so that you didn't have to crawl underneath? Still a push-button disconnect would be cool.
mnkyboy Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 The rubicon unit doesn't dissconnect the links,it just seperates the sway bay into two sides so each side can move independently. That means on a rig with a lot off flex the sway bar would run out of down travel and limit flex.
SW86 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 seems like they need to get their heads out of their asses and make something more worth while :nuts:
dakal Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 or make a expand-o-flex bar. i'm sure you could make one with springs and pullies. :rotf:
87Warrior Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 The JK Rubicons have the push button disconnect. When the JK first came out, Chrysler had a goof in the system so the dealers were selling the complete sway bar assembly for dirt cheap. I think they realized the mistake when they sold out of them in a few months. It is almost bolt on for the YJ. There are companies who sell swaybar disconnects that are not a quick release link style ORO Sway Loc http://www.offroadonly.com/products/sus ... ndex.shtml SkyJacker Rock Lock http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/skyjac ... -4982.html JKS SwitchBlade (kind of) http://store.jksmfg.com/merchant2/merch ... isconnects
NewfieMJ Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Wow , not cheap stuff . 2 outta 3 were a $1000 . Definately not worth the money IMO. The day I spend $1000 to disco my endlinks as oppose to manual doing it , is indeed the day I give up jeeping , or won the lotto , lol . One day I will come back from a wheeling trip and my jeep won't even be worth $1000 :ack:
ParadiseMJ Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 You are crazy!! However, this could be your chance to be a millionaire. The guy who invented the paper clip sold his idea for ~$500. Go figure, they said he was crazy!!
