That is why I asked, I've spent my fair share of time under that thing, and that sway bar didn't look to solid for towing to me. I know not to use the axles. And I do intend to get real tow points ASAP. I'm not going to replace my bumpers until I need to, so I may as well get the XJ tow hooks that bolt onto the frame in the meantime.

Thanks for the advice!

Most of the time if you are pulling it should never be harsh jerks and I don't believe in anything but straps which helps keep things from being jerky do I feel my sway bar is great no but it works having towed out a full size truck and trailer out of the ditch here with it I would say it works I also don't have it hooks up my jeep doesn't roll but I also drive a fire truck so I am used to rolling a lot

I actually use to drive a delivery truck for a living, and it had a fair amount of roll, and I had to take corners pretty slow. It doesn't take much getting use to, just have to be careful. But, I don't want my DD being like that if it doesn't have to be.

once its a designated wheeler, I'll probably get rid of that sway bar completely.

I ran mine with sway bars for the first couple months after purchase in Vegas. Once I move back up here and started wheelin again I took both off and haven't looked back lol.

Did Evans yesterday ran a few of the trails. So much more fun with all the snow gone. Love the views up there.

Hopefully ill be able to get the jeep fixed by then. After going to Evans Sunday it's been making a loud chirping noise when moving and rpms are between 1k-2k. Can't place exactly where it's coming from since it only does it when moving. Doing some research sounds like the "angry sparrows" thing but tons of things it could be. Now just to find some time to figure it out

Front ds, pull it and drive around, i bet the sound is gone. Idle issue may be a vaccuum leak or iac?

If your jeep still has tose brake dust gaurds on it, see if one is bent in touching the rotor. Had that happen before makes close to the same noise as the ds chirping.

I was gonna remove the ds today but couldn't get around to it. Hopefully tomorrow. I checked the dust guards for something stuck in them but didn't even think to check if they got bent on the trails. Ill do that tomorrow as well. Hoping its something that easy lol. If I take the ds off and it's gone that just means I need to replace the ds? They're pretty spendy aren't they
