You can make your own for much cheaper using clevis pins. But JKS does make really nice ones their Gen. II "quicker" disconnects are pretty sweet, but cost ~150 bucks. The advantage is your supposed to be able to dis/connect on uneven ground. But my roommate and her boyfriend both run them and I did the hardware store setup and mine are pretty easy, too. Worst case scenario you bust out the hi-lift (get a hi-lift! They have several awesome capabilities that can come in very handy..) and use it to pop the nose up a bit to allow reattachment.

Man!!! If I knew how to make my own I totally would. Rock Krawler makes some for about a hundred, I'll check the JKS ones too. All I saw was small lifts though need some for a 4"

Thank you haha, I just bought this jeep a month ago and I still don't know everything that he put into it. If I was shopping for disconnects and found out they where on there I would be angry ha.

Found out these switches are for ARB lockers recently and I was like ohhhhh snap!!!!!
