Nice one man, Ha!
Man, that's scary! Imagine that sucker popping off when you're driving on a highway offramp! If you get in touch with some other local JK guys, you can probably find someone who will GIVE you their front OEM Sway links... or super cheap at least.
Well butter my back side and call me a biscuit! 
So its that easy huh?..All I would have to do is undo the bottom bolt then just rotate it upwards and tie it to something? Is there a writeup on how to do that? But I was checking mine just right now and noticed on the passenger side its missing a bolt and the nut is kinda crooked
Should I just get a bolt for now or would it be a good excuse to convince the wife for me to buy some TF diskos? I do plan on getting a 3" lift later....or should I just wait till I get a lift?

Here you go dude:

SELECTABLE LOCKER - "Traction control device that allows the driver to lock and unlock the differential at will from the driver’s seat."
Basically it "locks" the two front or two rear wheels (or both) to drive together in-synch,.. so if one wheel can't get traction, the other can sort-of compensate, giving you better traction, torque, power to the ground... or whatever.

The regular JK with its traction system performs so well there is almost no need for lockers. If you just don't want a tire to spin then get the rubicon and you will have the most capable out of the box jeep ever built.
I took my sport on a jeep jamboree event and was in the locker group and they all kept asking me what kind of locker I had since my little jk kept following all those fancy locked up jeeps and I just kept telling that I don't have any lockers. You just disconnect the swaybar so the suspension can do its job and then let the traction system do its job and just have fun.

No they don't.....I think the TJs version do...not the JK. Wish they did though....I found a thread on another forum where a guy used a wooden dowell in the hole of the body frame near where you would want to tie the sway bar. He added a clamp and taa-daa, it stays. Until I find it again, I'll continue to use tie wraps....just keep the bar parallell to the ground.
