Jackrabbit41 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Went to walker valley last night, stayed the night, and wheeled this morning. I only hit to trails. Easy crossing and ridge Rams. Had a lot of fun. Didn't get any pics lol. All of the gates were closed so I had to go around one of them. I almost blew out a taillight, but luckily I just hit clay!

Jackrabbit41 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Nice...your not using the load sensing valve? Lol nope. I thought about making a new link for it, but whatever. It's fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 So for months my sway bar has been hitting my cool springs and frame and it makes a horrible knocking sound. Then a few weeks ago I took a corner and one of my links sheared off (aftermarket rich country's). Then yesterday at walker I disconnected my sway bar. I forgot to connect it back up on the way home, but didn't notice a difference. It felt fine. Yes, with a load in the bed, it'll be different but I just took the damn thing out. Make I'll get a new one or the anti rock kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Came out to the jeep after I got down with a spike ball tournament at a local park and someone hit me. Door won't open and fenders bent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrabbit41 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Almost got the gap closed. I've been using a 2x4 and twisting it in between the "frame" and the inside of the fender to push it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 as long as you don't drive like an asshat, you don't need a sway bar. yes some people like it, for obvious on road handling reason's, just don't pretend your driving some ricer i bet you flex alot better now. none of my jeeps have one, even fully loaded.

Jackrabbit41 Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Just dropped like all my money on a hurst short throw shifter and over the knuckle steering! I can never save my money very well, but i can't wait for this shifter. Its going to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The shifter is worth it, believe me. I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Man o man am I glad I got that shifter. Best modification ever! Hands down! I love this thing. Shifts so good, throw is so short and looks amazing! I made a YouTube video of the install (it wasn't easy with my set up). My OTK steering came today so I'll put that in soon too.

Megadan Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Got the T-handle, nice. I went with the old round ball, more comfortable in my hands. So are you like me now and think it was worth every penny? :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
