Disconnects

[Rover_Hokie]

I have the Slickrock disconnects up front and secure them like this.

Zip tie the driver side disconnect through the lower bushing and around the sway bar.
For the passenger side I need 2 zip ties. The first goes through the bushing (leaving a long loop), the next one links through the first zip tie and through a bracket near the bumper. The bracket has a hole in it so I just keep that zip tie hanging there for the next time.

This is enough to keep the sway bar up out of the way, and the disconnects from rattling against anything.

Pics? On the passenger side is that bracket something on the truck you used, or a bracket you added?

Yeah, existing bracket. I'll snap a few pics when I leave the studio tonight.

I saw Mongo's new axle tube post... with attached pics??!! Can't wait to try that out!

I pulled the driver side end links a couple months ago. I've been running without sway bars since. Maybe there is a bit more body roll but not really excessive. Then again I don't have a roof rack or anything heavy on the roof. I notice it the most off road. Without the sway bars it articulates quite well.

It really isn't hard to just pull the end link before you hit the trail. Replace the nyloc nuts with regular nuts and it'll be mega easy. This of course is the cheap bastard way to do things.

Here's the bracket. Pay no attention to the other zip tie dangling. I'm not sure why it's there actually.

Ahhh right, that bracket! That'll work, especially for how little I actually disconnect. Thanks!

No prob!

Have you guys seen the write up in the Tech section on using Jeep disconnects on a D2?

I used that for install help, pretty informative.

I have not seen that write-up, but I used jeep disconect on mine. Someone gave them to me so I figured out how to make them work. Made a bracket for the top side and used a hitch pin on the bottom side
