Hmmm that isn't where the sway bar belongs.

Too much flex?

Too much flex?

I think you need longer swaybar links so it doesn't invert like that. You'll get more droop too

I guess I assumed I put it on wrong when putting the axle back in from the regear, but that makes more sense. Guess I'll order some longer links too, then. Thanks

Cleaned all the melted urethane out of the JJ. Shiny! Dremel wire wheel is a nice tool.

The bits to redirect my exhaust should be showing up tomorrow. I also picked up some hangers (rubber parts and the mounts for those) because my fancy braided mechanics wire hanger did not survive moab. That didn't work well anyways, it kept the muffler from going down but not bouncing up into the tub so I could hear it before it broke.

A bonus pic since they're both out for work... the small hangin' out with the tall

we’re both ends of the sway bar in the springs? If it was just one, I’d be surprised if you didn’t break the bar.

Yes both were jammed up in there

Why didn't you just turn the stereo up? Less work

JKS has some decent extended links for the stock rear TJ sway bar that I’ve been running for a few years.

He's too cheap for anything JKS.... He'll use a piece of rebar and weld his old ends on first...

That would work

I shouldn't be giving him ideas... I'm crazy enough to try some of my own ideas...

I extended mine with bolt shanks and a welder.

I do have a big ole pile of rebar...

 

[lBasket]

It won't melt the bushings?

 

[Rickyd]

I cut them in the center and added enough to get the swaybar end just above the lower link. Wet rags kept the ends cool after tack welding them straight.

Rebar is probably too soft

 

[Rickyd]

Its pretty ghetto. Links aren't that expensive
