I know the RC disconnects were crap when I had them, ended up getting a Currie Anti-Rock Swaybar when they broke, if you can get it, I'd highly recommend it. Fixed all the problems the old disconnects were causing, plus you don't have to fumble around with em' anytime you wanna crawl.
I'll definitely look into them. Thanks

Here some things I advise when it comes to WJ's since it's been my trail and DD rig for a while now.
I prefer the Inline 6 over the V8.
They are heavier than the XJ and you can tell.
Everything aftermarket (I.E. Lifts) are way more expensive for a WJ than a XJ.
The rear D35 in the WJ is crap and expect problems if you wheel a lot. See if you can find one with a D44a, though it's aluminum it is way stronger than the D35... Unless you decide to hang it on a rock lol

Anyone have a good mechanic they would recommend for engine work? Need to get the jeep running again, been to long since ive been wheeling.
I used to take it to a shop off of FM78 a but the main mechanic left and works on his own now. (i cant remember his name at the moment. think it was like RJ or something)
Just didnt know if anybody here knows of a good mechanic.
Thanks

I found this place called "4X4 source" in the north east region. He seems like a jeep nut on his website (which is good) but I haven't been by yet to check it/him out.

Apperciate it. Once me and my wife settle in I will get to a meeting, I don't know before then.
I do have a question for the locals though, who is recommended around here that is trust worthy and has a good knowledge of jeeps (mechanically)? I installed some RC quick disconnects and have developed a "do it when I want to" death wobble. I can drive it days without it happening then it will happen randomly and go away again.
