Sounded so cool you posted it twice, that's twice the flex of a normal post :lol:
It's not all about flex, who needs it when you're locked at both ends :shock:

installed header , now have a fast idle
I haven't noticed a difference in tire life, they still wear even and I rotate often since I run different tires for wheelin. I'm sure there is a little more wear in the rears, since I leave some tire every time I make the turn in my driveway, but it's minimal, we're talking shortening a tires life by 1K miles or less. It's a tradeoff decision only the Jeep owner can make. It was worth it for me, 1K is nothin.
The Jeep drives straight as an arrow, it never wandered before but now it'll hold the wheel straight by itself for miles. That Lincoln Locker in the rear will always try to keep you straight. Sweeping turns are fine, you'll never notice it's there, no sudden unlocking like many auto lockers that causes unwanted lane changes :shock:
Slow turns will squeel the inside tire, but it's kind of an unspoken language to others who know what must lurk in the axles :twisted: My BFG's, a harder rubber compound, chirp a LOT more than my softer Swampers. Can't hardly hear the swampers.
Lincoln Locker in the front is great for everything, as long as you have a way to manually disconnect the pass. side axle shaft from the cab. I run the front unlocked (3wd) in the snow on road, otherwise I can't turn and the Jeep keeps going straight. I've wheeled it in the snow (obviously) and it's great fully locked, no crabwalking on off-camber sections like I expected.
I run the 4banger and my YJ is pretty light, so I bash the stock D35 pretty hard and have never had a problem. I carry spare front and rear axle shafts and luckily have only used them as loaners to other Jeepers on the trail, so far.
I'd have mini-spools if they made them for the D30/35, but they don't, so this is essentially the same but homemade. If I ever upgrade axles, they'll be spooled, it's worth it offroad and very few quircks onroad.

I have had mine off for half a year now and it is the way to go on the older stiff CJ's. I would never remove them on the coil sprung jeeps on the street.

Haha... my TJ hasnt really had the sway connected in the front since i got it. The factory links are busted, and i dont have the money to replace them. Ive never had a problem with the handling, but i dont know what one feels like with the swaybar connected either. The only thing ive noticed is that when i flexed out the front with my old bald 30" BFGs i almost got into my flares. Which makes me afraid to try it with my new tires. They're still 30's, but i know my odometer is off more then it used to be, so they must still be bigger.
Anyway, back to the sway bars...... how hard would it be to put new links in if i come up with the money?
