With all due respect to the seriousness(?) of this thread, there some witty muthahs that had me chuckling for some time.

Well done gentlemen...carry on

Pineapple pizza works for all years of Landcruiser, diesel models as well. 3fe owners will need to Parmesan to taste and adjust their kickdown cables accordingly.

Wtf? I thought this was about sway bar disconnects.......only read the first few pages

If your cruiser doesn’t have a brick oven in it... are you even overlanding?

I love pineapple on pizza but hate fruit in my salad. What does that make me? I'm so confused. Time to have another beer.

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

...and guess what kind of pizza Coach took them to get after the big victory...

Just placed an order. I'm tired of hitting muddy trails with huge ruts without disconnecting my front sway bar lol. I feel like i'm going to tip every time haha. Super excited to get these and test em out!

Received my disconnects and already installed them! Just to clarify, you don't need to use the wire/cable, pin, and cotter pin unless you have factory lockers? I don't have lockers unfortunately

Correct , you can use either but most find the round back pin easier on non factory lockers

So these sway bar disconnects just help improve the offroad feel correct? I thought that because of the design of the front control arms you didn't actually gain any flex by disconnecting the sway bar. I know it's more of a Jeep thing but has anyone done comparisons on an RTI ramp or some similar kind of tool to measure the difference in flex?

Re-read the first post of the thread. Our testing shows a 15% increase in articulation when the swaybar is disconnected in addition to a more solid feel off road. Easily the best bang for your buck for increasing ones articulation.

Oops. Looks like I missed that part. Haha well that is pretty amazing gains for how cheap and easy it is

I found with my front disconnected the car felt like it didn’t dive down into the opposite rut or hole, it sort of just had this controlled transition as the weight shifted from side to side across the front axle.

Maybe I missed something, but I am confused. I have a '93 and don't really see where else these could go except for removing the bump stop and mounting the brackets in between the frame and the bump stop. Or will these not work with my year? @LandCruiserPhil

nevermind.....
