  • In spite of what so many seem to think, you don't need a big built up Jeep to go wheeling on the rocks. Sure, there are limits as to what you can do but even in a bone stock JL Wrangler 2-Door Sport running a set of street tires, you'd be amazed at just how capable they really are. Of course, unlike any other 4WD vehicles made today, they do come with a solid front axle and that means you can disconnect the front sway bar to obtain a lot more axle articulation or what some people refer to as, FLEX! And, to help make the disconnecting process a lot faster and easier on Pippi, Cindy and I decided to install a used Rubicon sway bar disconnect with an EVO No Limits knob and in this video, you'll get to see us put it to use and test it out on a trail with some challenging rocks.

    It's good to see that you did clear the obstacles and it was a manual; which I drive in my JLU Unlimited. I started with Jeeps with my new '75 CJ5 here in Arizona, 304 v8 with a three speed manual. At the time the 10.5" Tru Trac Rhinos were the deal.
    My suggestion for manuals with front sway bar disconnects and lockers, is carry just a very small amount of speed or "smash" as we used to say in the Air Force. This compensates for the reaction factor and inertial feedback through the drive train through the obstacle. This helps save your clutch, but you need to develop the feel for the particular obstacle; more is not necessarily better. Glad to see you adapted a manual transmission---theft protection device for millenials! Thanks! "Snydes"

    AWESOME VIDEO! TRUE AWESOMENESS! Gives me hope that I can have fun jeeping with my ‘21 WILLYS because -as you show here and in your preceding video- there’s an affordable option for a sway bar disconnect. I’ve been pretty concerned about this issue because I can’t do an expensive option and everything I do to my WILLYS I have to do myself. So, from the wholeness of my heart, I thank y’all for this awesome video. As a side note, watching Pippy (hope I’m spelling the name correctly) crawl all over that earth was SOOOO FUN! Your white jeep handled the terrain with ease and grace and it’s an impressive, gorgeous jeep. For me though, I enjoyed watching Pippy master the landscape’s challenges more. I was riveted! Especially on that waterfall/rockfall! WOW WEE! The Rubicon sway bar disconnect you installed is amazing. Thank you for following up on your installation of the Rubicon sway bar disconnect to show us how it worked out when crawling around the earth over there in Nevada. Y’all are amazing.

      @wayalife  Před 2 lety

      LOL - Jeep really did wonders with their new traction control system. Not having a 4:1 transfer case is the PIA. If we had a Rubicon, she wouldn't have stalled as much. Of course, if I rode the clutch more, she wouldn't have stalled as much too but then, that would burn it out.
