When I ordered 3 days ago, they only had 1 in stock. You might have to wait for a while.
Damn it!!!! TJM isn't known to have any stock here in the US. Guess I have to call them now.
Edit: Here is what they said about stock.
"Not in stock, but TJM says they'll have more ready to ship by the middle of next month. Hope that helps!"

Damn it! Shouldnt have posted the link! Haha, jk. I bought front 4.88 gears instead. More important. Got g2 master install kit and gears for 372. Gotta love the homie hookup.
Im also in the middle of putting together my fab bumpers, so money is more than tight.

I guess with you guys ordereibg the tjm can install asap, get back to us on how good it is. For 200 shipped(my quote) i can spend 50 more and get the whiteline. Either way, it would be an improvement. Glad i asked about this, you guys are awesome.
Nah, I had it in the cart for over a month. I wanted both front and rear but reading @LandCruiserPhil posts, figured I will try the rear first since it is available.

I still have 1 Brand New in box Front Whiteline Sway bar left in stock. If anyone's interested, drop me a PM. $269 Shipped anywhere in the continental US.
I am still working with Whiteline to run another batch of the rears. We will see what happens in the next couple months.

Rear bar and end links.
TJM and ARB are the two 'majors' of the Australian aftermarket 4wd outfitting scene. There's also Ironman, and Opposite Lock, but not sure if they have their own branded swaybars. EFS is another common brand here.
I have original OEM swaybars (cotton reel bush style not ball-joint end style) on front and rear of my 80 (3/92 build) which has 3" lift and 4" Superior Eng 'superflex' radius arms fitted.

Any of you guys have an aluminum LS swap done? Obviously it will change handling and since most people seem to prefer stock front bar and upgraded rear, lightening the front would call for a bigger bar in the rear already, so just looking for experience.

s*** i wish. I would think, losing weight would improve handeling, but its the weight down low, so the top could feel heavier? I would treat the rear the same as with an ls swap, the front i would leave stock, see how it handles and go from there. Any “lift” will end up taller from all the lost weight, that can change many things.
Do you have this swap done?
No not yet, and I'm holding off big suspension changes until then but I would like to add a rear bar for now then I'll just reassess after the swap.

Yeah, wait on suspension for sure.
I received the TJM rear bar yesterday and installed it last night. I had to grind the ends round to allow movement with the end links. Big improvement on those twisty roads, much less body roll.

Sexy. Adds a little bling. Wish i had a sub tank like you to go with it! Might want to paint that bumper though, at least be up on your tetanus shot!

When I chatted with the guy at NavTec in Moab a year ago, he told me they put a whiteline on one of their rigs in an effort to combat breaking OE rear sway bars at a rate of about 4 per year. He said the bar seems to be holding up fine, but it’s ripped apart just about everything it’s mounted to on the frame (they’ve tried both ways) and it shreds the axle bushings in short order.

Damn, time for heimed arms at that point, and maybe a antirock. Thats crazy!
