Spent the afternoon yesterday installing a rear sway bar disconnect on the old Dodge. The upper mount needed significant re-work due to the bigger new part and my insanely close manufacturing tolerance policy. Bottom mount needed a small brass bushing to stabilize the old, tapered press-fit joint. Front will probably be an all-day job with both mounts needing rebuilt for a new link.
CTD will be fully off-road capable once that’s done and a locker is installed in the front Dana. I’m going with the OX Manual Cable unit. Country Truck down in Ft. Lupton will be getting the call on that. They did a great job fixing up the ’07 for Phoebe and Tanner a couple years ago. Nothing will stop this truck unless I break it or drive it off a cliff somewhere.
I can still do the little nit-noid stuff like sway bar links, but even that wears me out pretty quick nowadays.
LATE UPDATE: Took two days up front. It’s a Jeep CJ link adapted to fit with a custom bottom mount. It was within a gnat’s ass of fitting on the inside stock position in a straight bolt-up with no fabrication needed, but that didn’t happen. It’s easier to reach the release pin on the outside this way, but it was alot of work hand forging that part.
