Both myself and a friend with HDJ81's purchased them from Japan with the rear bars removed and now AWOL. As neither of us requires max articulation and we would like to reduce body roll, we would both like to reinstall the sway bars. We both have 2 1/2" lifts. Will the sway bar from any 80 series fit? Do any of you know of any aftermarket alternatives? A supplier in the lower mainland of B.C. Canada? I'd prefer to avoid ordering from a dealer if possible...the $ will probably be prohibitive.

Hi Martin,

My HDJ81 has a similar lift and still has the rear stablizer bar in place. Searching the EPC, it shows 2 part numbers:
48805-60010 - 9001-9208 - BAR, STABILIZER, REAR - FJ80, HDJ81, HZJ81
48805-60020 - 9001-9208 - BAR, STABILIZER, REAR - HDJ81

Maybe the second one is heavier?

I'm guessing that bar from an older US FJ80 will fit.

G'luck, -Steve
 
Ironically, a guy at the Spokane, WA 24 Hour mountain bike race was from BC and driving an HDJ81 he'd bought as an import from Japan. It had a lift and darn if I cannot remember the color or his name. I think it had a rear bar. Anyhow - know him?
 
As Steve stated, the part numbers for the rear stabilizer bars are:

48805-60010 (FJ80, HDJ81, HZJ81)
48805-60021 (Superceded -60020; HDJ81 w/winch)

The -60010 is a little more expensive (by 2,000 yen or about $20) than the -60021.

Anyway, no idea what the difference might be.

Good luck!
