Ran welded rear for a DD for almost 3 years. Besides tires screeching and burning through tires I loved it. but now that I'm running a selectable id never go back for anything that sees alot of street time. And turning is nicer on the tighter trails when you can hit a switch to unlock it

Yeah no sway bars and sharp turn at high speed equals roll over.

Where does it say no sway bar? Looks like he has it up front judging by the lack of travel, and the rear acts like a normal thing tj rear sway bar.

I think he had the sway bar hooked up. Otherwise it wouldn't lift that front tire like that. I have a buddy with a tj that does that every time he pulls out in traffic, you get some pretty good reactions from other drivers. Hasn't flopped it yet though.

Just curious what a wrangler with 38-40" tires and long arms has to do with a cherokee not running a swaybar?
