Just installed my JKS quick discos (yay!), but the sleeves to stow them when disconnected bolt to the factory skid plate which I don't have (boo!).
I've looked and seen a variety of solutions ranging from bungee cords to bolts tapped in elsewhere. I'd be leaning more toward a permanent solution like a bolt, but not sure where good placement would be.
So...what did you end up doing? How's it working? Anything you would have done different?

 

I just zip tie them to my sway bar and they stay put. New bushings. If you have loose sway bar bushings, then put an eye hook through the chasis right in front the air box and hook the sway bar to that and the discos to the sway bar

 

Same here zip tie's, cheap at the dollar store for this job.

 

Yup. And ever since I redid my sway bar bushings I only have to zip tie. I don't even hold the sway bar to the eye hook no more

 

My sway bushings are pretty loose so I'd need something to hold the entire assembly up. Zip ties? May work till I come up with some type of latch system but I really don't see that being a permanent solution.

 

My eye hook bolted through to the engine bay has been pretty permanent. Takes about 2 mins to get them tied up. If I remember ill snap a pic tonight

 

 

Thanks. Saved my work tonight. I do that minus the bungie cord. Use to use the cord but one day offroading it popped off. I zip tie to that eye hook

 

Looks sturdier than a standard bungee cord, thanks for posting.

I don't think that one is going anywhere. Note there are no hooks, been replaced with a carabiner clip and the other one that I forgot the name of. I see the eye bolt similar to yours though.

 

Those.are those rubber cords with the hooks removed and the clips installed in place. Those stretch slightly but yes are sturdier but I still like my zip tied cause when they are muddy and greasy, they going in garbage, not my jeep

 

I used the included JKS posts and custom-fit them to the frame rail. You can see the full description in my build thread - https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/wi...6/#post1497134

 

Yup pull to tighten cut when done

 

Those rubber straps, I bought long ones and cut to fit, then drilled a hole in the end. They last about 5 years then need to be replaced when the rubber gets brittle and the hole tears through.

Plain old carabiners work better than the clips I originally used. They are readily available in hardware stores, dollar stores, etc

 

I like it! How's it been holding up?

 

After nearly four years, it's been holding up just fine. I did have one case where one bolt ended up bending a bit, but that's because my swaybar bushing was bad so the swaybar bounced a lot thus putting extra pressure on the bolt. Once I fixed the bolt and replaced the bushing, no problems since.

What I like least about the zip-tie method is all of the waste that ends up in the landfill. This method produces zero waste.
