Home Mod Sway bar disconnects
Here is a way to do your own quick disconnect mod. I stopped by Home Depot and bought these items:
Then I drilled out the hole in the pin a little bigger so that the locking pin would fit. This is what it looked like after I installed it.
It only took me about 30 minutes, well worth it. Now lets see how it works.
Not bad at all. Now it's time to test it in the field, lol. Good luck guys and let me know if and how long this mod works for you. ENJOY and tread lightly.

No it doesn't rattle yet and I hope it doesn't break on road. I keep a spare bolt and nut just in case. All is well so far.

I did the very same thing on my 2012 Sport when I first got it and took off ASAP. It rattled and made a clunking noise because as you may expect its not as tight as a factory bolt. Now, I just take a 18mm wrench pair by craftman. The really long and thin ones. I just unbolt and zip tie and bolt back on when I am done wheeling.

I had this set up for about a month and started to notice my front end getting squirrely on me a little. I threw my bolts back on and it was much better so I am not confident in this set up. This was my experience running a 3" lift and 35's so it may be different for others.
