Nice flex, that rear is stuffed! I miss the hell outta my xj but it started to nickel and dime me. When the death wobbles started it was time to say goodbye. Someday i'll have another one though.

Where did you get those projector headlights at? I never knew they made any on the aftermarket.

Did you pull the rear bar yet? I hope not that thing would be scary as @!#$ on the street without sway bars. I rode in one of the wranglers with the driver detachable sway bars on the street I thought it was going to tip over just taking normal turns with all the body roll. Better option may just be to get one of the endlink bolts free of rust and when you get to the trail just pull one of the endlinks.

apples to oranges.. cherokee has a longer wheelbase and wider track than the wrangler. much more stable. the upcountry package offered from jeep came without the rear sway from the factory. besides, if you ever saw the factory rear swaybar, it's about the size of a pencil. hardly enough to make any difference. the front bar, I run quick disconnects although i've driven it on pavement without the front connected and although it has a bit more body movement, it's pretty stable. would I want to make an emergeny lane change @ 55mph with no sways, definetely not... with the front connected, not that big a deal. hence why i run the quick disconnects.

also there is a difference between a rear coil setup on the rear of the wrangler compared to the leaf spring rear end of a cherokee.

so were cj's smart ass. lol. also i don't think yj's came with rear sway bars. tj and jk are not leafs unless modded. but anyways on the tjs even tho they were only as big as a pencil there was definetly a difference with out it connected.
