They take the "interesting" out of things! I used to be scared of that left line... now it's easy as pie.

Little slippery by the time we got to 3rd, and once George was done messin around we had Mike & his buddy behind us.


Put on new shocks & sway bar links, but guess shoulda done lines! Oh well, they'll be here tomorrow! I've had it out a couple times since the gears though, and they're no joke, I'm amazed how easy it makes things, you'll love them!
I keep looking at the pics you took at 3rd and can't believe i didn't realize my sway bar wasn't disconnecting

I remember thinking "damn I haven't had a wheel that far in the air in a LONG time" yet didn't think anymore of it than that. Oh well, I'll just have to run it again fully disconnected next time haha

There must be a gremlin targeting your Jeep whenever you get to third lol. First sway bar links, then your disconnects. Next time you'll have to poor people disconnect again haha.

Haha yeah I know. I actually determined my e-disco motor was shot as I couldn't get it to reconnect when I trimmed the new links down to proper size and the light was still flashing that they weren't connected and it wasn't trying to connect when I was swinging the bar up and down. Took it to the dealer yesterday and they replaced the entire front end sway bar assembly including the e-disco for free. So no more problems. Flexed it out at a loading dock here in Denver today and it released nicely. I'm gunning for that damn turn on 3rd at Spring creek again when I can haha. I want that high line

I'm strongly considering getting the Evo manual sway bar release if I can't mock up one myself. I found out it's just a bolt with a nut welded on, a plate with the crank on it and a spring I believe. Hard to justify spending almost $100 for that when I could probably throw it together for $5-10 if I can somehow find out the sizes of the pieces

We're headed up red elephant it sounds like, to recover a rolled yota up there on Sunday. WAY less snow that the weather fore-tards said to expect as usual, so it's looking doable. Probably not what you were looking for, but i'd be up for something on sat as well.

Ya I was kinda looking into something easy maybe mount baldy trail. Is there a way you can find out which trails are open? I also came across one of those forest service bulletins and it mentioned having an ohv permit, are those required?
