thats the plan ...... will give ya a call in a day or two..... rugby head ,weekends taken up with drinking and watching rwc......
gotta order some parts early next week, ............time you where in the shed ,,, its after 6.30am fella..

dude, check what i did with my arb bar. cut a hole in the top, and rotate the clutch housing so the handle is through the hole.. easy as...

From the back, but you get the idea

cheers mark.... just don't like it..... thought if ya cut em something to do with warranty making it a no no....

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.

,,,just a pain ,, gotta drop whole bar to get to winch to work on .....y'all want to buy a arb bar........

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

Still need to take mine out

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

any permits needed for Odlins ?? I did that trip at the Jeep Jamboree last year (or was it the year before?? boy time flys when ya havin fun don't it ??)Would be good to go through it again, who's been on there last and what is the condition , from the vids looks like some slips have occurred here and there

no permits needed just drive on up. i was there last weekend... its all good, trees are quite dense around the track, got a few new scratches.

ps; only went to the summit...

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.

Yeah I'm planning on it plus doing a quick front sway bar disco mod with clevis pins... i just dont know where to find them

turns the front end from what you saw before...

Sweet might take them out shortly and see the difference!

Haha nah havent had the top off yet, but its getting sunnier so watch this space cant wait to put the half doors on!

So u can take your rear sway bar of and it still handles fine the road etc???

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

I now have no front or rear sway bars... drives awesome, love the whole truck twisting when i floor it too!!

Be carefull it doesn't turn on ya bud, can be a wild beasty without the fronts on, it will bite the foot that feeds it , so to speak, especially under hard breaking into or on a corner

good luck and enjoy

cheers

Haha i left mine out for a couple of days, was funny at the lights next to people when i take off. Feels like im on 3 wheels

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

took my swaybars out today Have far beter flex now and dosent drive to bad on the road either

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:
