pulling the clutch housing off and rotating it also voids the warrenty on a brand new winch too....#8 wire mentality though bud.... if the shit dont work, and a grinder or BFH will make it work, then we will do what we do.

however, the has always amused me about the ARB bar, many a fond expletive has been uttered when 'nad high in cold mud/water reaching under the bar to try to find the lever.

Mate just take the rear ones off altogether, handles fine without them , mines on 33s no rear sway bar, not needed for warrant , you'll be amazed how much that helps ya offroad, it'll just walk through the bumps

cheers

easy only takes about 10 mins if you're slow like me , 4 bolts on diff(brackets with bushes , one flat side) and 2 on inside of chassis rail at the back, have tabs on them so don't even need 2 ring spanners, just a socket will do the trick, Hows the beasty going Phraza had those half doors on yet , where's the pics

cheers mate , was at a club meeting tonight and spoke to a few about doing a trip there, may do some bush trimming while we're up there.
Drop that rear sway bar off mate and go back to the top and see the difference.

certainly does , corners well and all, haven't had an issue yet , been a couple of years without it , the front ones however are a different story, be very carefull road driving without them on, step on the gas from the lights and it'll try and turn you upside down, (too much Power , lol)

For clevis pins try a nut and bolt place like Steel Masters, or steel and tube, some engineering places might be able to put you in the right direction, I saw XJ's ones too so I'll be doing the same also, ain't half some clever buggers out there aye

yeah I've been busy swerving on motorways/corners to get a grip on how it handles.. not too bad... i thought it would be worse. and i love putting the brakes on and tapping the gas a little, it twists awesomely

Just remember they are there for a reason so having them conected for road use is a good idea especially if you let someone else drive whos not used to rolling all over the place you could end up like this guy:
