sway bar diconnect
just wandering if any body has done one on the cheap or if it is possable to install the factoie push button ones from the new rubicons on to my 2005 rubicon or if it is advisable to install one when you do not have a lift or if any one can point me to a thread that has pics of the old way to do it and if i can do it with out a lift

- for manual disconnects there's nothing to discuss, there's lot's of options there, including your own bolts :-)
- Teraflex, Skyjacker and others have sway bar disconnects that have a little **** that you twist to select the level of articulation; they have various models for various lift sizes (including no lifts), and it costs about $500 in real money.
- Off Road Only (ORO) have the famous SwayLoc. You can get that in manual for about the same price but then you can extend it later with a remote control in the cab. You can also combine it with their AirRock suspension and it gets controlled automagically by the computer, there's no button for you to press. The advantage for this (even the manual one) is that your sway bar is never entirely disconnected, thus keeping the Jeep in control.
Sky's the limit but nothing's cheap :-)
Good luck!

Another side note, if you plan on installing a lift kit at some point, quite a lot of them come with quick disconnects. If you see that in your future (although that's another expensive proposition) maybe you're better off waiting?
Now, that being said here are options:
- you can buy a pair of disconnects for $200 bucks or so.
- you can make your own. If you do a little search you can find stuff, like this (lots of other interesting stuff there, too), or this (for a CJ but you can adapt it)
Good luck,
