i hit 106 on the beltway around here. felt like all of the nuts and bolts were gonna come loose from all the vibration though. but hearing the engine rush up into over drive was TOTALLY worth it. 4.0
Dude it was Awesome. I did 115 in my dads truck one time racing a guy. Dad was with me too. Haha

Edit: on a closed course with a professional driver :shhh:

I'm gonna use my legs to push the wrench use to skate bmx for 5 years I'll atleast put 400 on the bolt
A very wide man once said, "With a long enough lever, I could lift the world." It's not just how hard you push on that wrench--it's how hard you push multiplied by the length of your lever. Lengthen the lever arm, reduce the force required to get the same torque. All this to say, get a cheater bar. If you have to use your legs to turn a wrench, you're probably doing something wrong.

Im not understanding everyone being scared i did 105+- and held it there for a min or two with 4in lift plus spacers and no front sway bar other than the front drive shaft vibration it was smooth and comfortable. But i tend to like 5mph slow crawl in 4lo
I've done that in my xj, well not 105 because it maxes at about 95 but I'm running 5" lift with 33"s

Oh god people speeding with their swaybars off? I sense the need for license revocation before somebody gets hurt.

You know you drive a ZJ when the mere thought of driving with your swaybar off is enough to instill fear in your heart.

It's really not that bad. With my lift. The 3.5 iro coils are stiff and it rides pretty rough with it on. But off it eats bumps like its nothing

Nick, you really don't want to do that. It's a safety issue and should you crash it and an inspector finds put it was disconnected, you could be sued for negligence. I'd connect it. I have had mine on the road disco'ed, but I wouldn't go much above 40 or for any extended distance.

The lower bolt on the driver side broke and f**** up the bushing and pulled the sleeve out. I'm going to email iro and see if they can ship me a new bushing and sleeve. When I get the new sleeve and bushing ill put it back and finish y discos.

Mine is debaged, lifted 3 1/2 with 32's and some guy told me "that's a nice looking 2wd jeep" so I proceeded to ask him, how do you know if it's 2wd he said "it would have the 4x4 badge"... LOL TARD!

Some people...
Replaced the old tore up badge with this one from a vendor at the pa jeep show last year

Edit - oh and that's my girlfriend she wasn't prepared for the picture lol

It all depends on spring rates. Sway bars add roll resistance, as do stiffer springs. In theory, if you put in stiffer springs and removed the sway bars, it would ride rougher, but assuming you kept the same overall balance and same roll resistance, it would corner the same.
When I bought the zj one of the end links was broke. Had a TON of body roll and it scared the s*** out of me. But f>r swap and new coils its not bad at all
