Look Here!!!!

Hmmmm - look what I got today...



Detail of the arms



Goodies



The bars



With my Altima in the shop and eventually going away I've been driving the TJ a lot. It's 70 miles round trip for me. I can't wait to get this thing put on.

I know the guy who developed this and for the life of me I can't figure out why there isn't more talk about it - it's a great idea and a perfect product for anyone that DDs their TJ.

They'll be an Antirock for sale next week!!!!

Jeff

Good for you, Jeff. I talked with the developer of that thing last week . Considering one for the front of our rig since it still sees a a fair amount of street time.

I take it you already have a rear AR?

Let us know how it works for you.

No - just a stock rear sway bar.

I'm excited - I can't see why it wouldn't work perfectly.

Is there a manually operated one yet? I'd love to introduce this to the AZ crowd!

Air actuated or Airock controlled only.

The air volume is miniscule. It would operate quite nicely off of one of the little compressors for the small air bag kits or even the larger one for air shocks.

It would be nice for most guys doing hard stuff to have it dash controlled. I've run into more than one situation where it would be nice to kick in a stiffer bar and carry a drooped tire over an undercut.

Nothing for what it is - a single rate sway bar.

The Swaylock is a dual rate sway bar system containing a solid lower rate bar within a hollow higher rate bar, thereby giving you the best of both worlds for street and trail.

Even though the higher rate outer bar does have a higher rate and is almost equivalent to the stock bar for better handling, the disconnect mechanism defaults to combining both bars to almost overcome the higher leverage against them from the longer arms.

It takes both bars combined to get back close to stock rates.

It's also a semi safety feature having it default to near stock handling in the event someone is not used to softer suspension on the street.

Chris,

I'd like to get $200 out of it.

PM me. You've got first dibs.
