JK E-Disconnect Sway Bar on a YJ!

Did a google search on boomerang shackles and somehow came across mention of an 07 E-Disconnect Sway Bar install on a YJ

The owner who did the install on his YJ said the price for this electronic sway bar - as a part available by order through your local Jeep Dealership - was just $80!  (Apparently a pricing error, but it sounds like a few guys were able to take advantage of it; as of 1/25/07 Jeep re-priced it at $1500  :'(

However, sounds like the owner cooked the electronic disconnect motor and fabricated a manual set up.  Install required just 11/4 inch poly bushings, fabrication of a cab-mount switch plate, installation of a mounting bracket and some wiring.  Pretty cool, though.

That's a good way to add more weight and make a simple system overly complicated just to be lazy. :fish:

well it does definitely have the Cool gadget factor :thumbsup: ,  However I have never seen anything made more complicated when all you need is a quick-pull on the the pins that hold a traditional discoonect together......  right up there with the automatic locking hubs in the old 1/2ton Fords that needed to be backed up to relaese them,  atleast that was how they were supposed to work!

That he pulled it off on a YJ is pretty cool - holy crap you can put coil springs, e-lockers and now an e-disconnect sway bar on those old things. And the price for the assembly, at least when he did it, was pretty great - 80 bucks.  Heck for 80 bucks, I'd have given the lazy a$% routine a try myself :lol: 

But, with Jeeps, you've gotta get out to air-down anyway.  You might as well pull the pins on the disconnects and lock the manual hubs - if you have them -  while your out there; same with airing back up and reconnecting.  And it doesn't appear to have been bullet-proof reliable for the guy, either.  It looks like he ended up pulling the bar's motor out - scary.
