I saw this. I'm thinking I'm going to start doing some PB blaster and try it out. Looks cheep, easy, safe, and rattle-free.

 

its been done....the only complaint is that they clunk.....but they work.

 

Is there such thing as a quiet XJ? If so, I want to see it. When do they clunk?

 

it looks like some harden washers and pins of a plow!! maybe worth the 5 buck to get the parts and make it

 

Exactly what my first set of disco were. Worked just fine, but dam noisey.

 

Same here. Noisy and clunky. It would wear out pretty fast and have some play in it. That was the first mod i did on my TJ and it came off a week later.



I would use a bolt and nut than the pin style setup. It takes about 17 seconds to remove the nut and bolt, and maybe 12 seconds to remove the pin and cotter pin. The nut/bolt method is tighter and doesn't clunk.

 

That's what this method does, the pins are merely a safety to keep the nuts from unscrewing themselves (I was thinking about replacing that part of the design with a lock nut, maybe another wing nut and a spacer between them so I can lock them in place by hand and then be able to undo them with the same ease.

Sorry for double post but I'm using it iPod and it's not such a big fan of editing on here. Anyone have a homebrew method that is quiet? I'm on a budget.

 

Oh i didn't see the wing nut on the bottom pin. That may work better but it's basically the same as racheting off the factory nut, except you have to take the pin out and unscrew the wing nut.

 

Thus removing the tool factor from it.

 

I personally hate dealing with traditional disco end links and wanted something quicker and easier so after some research I decided to make my own version of what I think skyjacker calls their Roc-Loc. I used a couple pillow bearings , dodge Dakota torsion bar, f350 4x4 locking hub . I have been extremely happy with the finished product I will try to post some pics tomorrow

 

Sway bars are for pansies haha

 

Being a pansy is better than being on your lid

 

Driving to fast will put any rig on its lid. Sways or not you need to drive using your head in a lifted rig. Not the lack of sways fault..

I was just being a smart *** anyways
