So other guys don't maybe have to submerge portions of their bodies trying to tie a strap around the sway bar :-)

 

next time i'll have a couple straps pre-attached and ready to go at the trailhead.. LOL

 

Haha! Look up that iron rock off road front recovery I mentioned. It's awesome. You can see more pictures in my build thread.

 

was actually about to ask about that.. couldn't remember the name, just iron something.

i think that, a rear receiver, a couple straps, and a sway bar disconnect kit are on my buy-it-soon list.. those articulation spots were tough as hell with the sway bar on

 

You don't even need a disconnect kit if you have a 15mm ratchet. Only like a minute per side and doesn't cost $75. I recommend just removing the rear. I disconnected mine before the first tahuya trip amd it doesn't really effect drivability at all. Right Now it is just zip tied out of place, but I will remove it soon.

 

By all means remove the rear like proto said. As far as the front for now I'd use the wrench, unless you don't like laying the ground. I like taking all of 15 seconds to connect and disconnect but that's me. If you drive on the highway a lot i suggest you leave the ability to connect and disconnect there, but if its Just a wheeler remove it and leave it in your spare parts pile haha.

 

she'll be pulling dd duty until i find my new civic, and my commute to work is about 80% freeway.. so yeah, sway needs to stay. i'll look at tossing the rear my next day off tho.

 

Alright guys, uploaded quite a few pictures to Photobucket. Its still in the process and I'm getting ready to leave for work. If I get a chance later tonight I'll try to link a bunch over to this thread, otherwise I'll put them up when I get home in the morning. I'll move on to videos tomorrow.

If anyone else has pictures or videos they would like to distribute go ahead and post them up. I saw a lot of cameras out there but nobody has posted any...LETS SEE EM!

 

You should stop by centralia deli :P come get some lunch!
