teh swaybar carnage was a kind of a fluke?? I didn't know they were so vulnerable??

Only when you disconnect one side and then flex it.

Pulled everything apart tonight. Turns out the a/c dryer didn't give out, the line from the dryer to the condensor got pinched and split. Everything will be back together tomorrow once I pick up a Tundra dryer and line. Heat wrench helped straighten the sway bar tonight. Total bill for parts...about $50.

You STRAIGHTENED the sway bar? Wow. Get a knowledgeable opinion on whether or not that will be safe to use. On second thought, the worst it can do is fail, so what the heck?

I would look for a good used sway-bar. They are a torsion bar, heat changes spring steel, most often softening it, so it's no longer a spring.

She did - maybe it was so easy she forgot?

guess so :whoops:

honestly, all I recall is my first intuition to go right around it - hey, if I went over it easy, it sure wasn't an obstacle

Here's a vid of one of a successful attempt earlier that day;

Symon, you have one sick rig! That was the easiest attempt I've seen on that obsatcle.

You didn't try to split the obstacle with one wheel up on the ledge and one wheel down, you just put both over the ledge and climbed up. The FJC would have needed to use the front skid/bumper for that angle of approach.

Thanks guys, I have never been able to crawl it. I've seen 2 people crawl it before. one guy on 39.5" sticky crawlers and another guy in a Hendrix/Toyota buggy on 38" Swamper SX's

Heating a swaybar is bad news. maybe no damage but loss of spring and therefore no more anti-sway????? Someone around here has to have a good used one for ya?

I didn't realize it was disco'd on one side???? that explains it.

As far away from being in the beautiful outdoors, enjoying a nice trail with good friends as possible...I had to work the holiday weekend straight through up here in Vegas. Soooooo while you guys were getting seat time on Payette, I was getting seat time here (where I am still sitting):

I knew that, but you asked to get flamed.

No worries, the bar is in the scrap pile .

That flame didn't take long!

Dang, I was hoping to wheel with you with the 'modified' sway bar. Would have been cool if it had memory instead of spring- lift a wheel, and the wheel stays lifted.
