Got the links finished today. It took a little longer due to the fact that I'm a man and I don't read things fully! So when I read that the links had 4" of thread on the end that can be cut down I unfortunately missed the part that said that it was 4" of RH thread and the other end only has 2" of LH thread so my calculations where out quite a bit. Anyway nothing a grinder and welder can't fix

I took it for a quick run this morning to my mates place to work on his JK and while it was only on road I could certainly tell it was there! I've got it on the softest setting and it still stops a bit of the dive you get going into a corner with no swaybar. I've got no interest in it handling like a F1 so I'll leave it like it is for now as it's really only for improving handling offroad. I'll try and take it out for a proper run this weekend and I can let you know more then.

Not a biggie but I had some spare time today so I made up a bracket for my Drake extinguisher mount. Mounted to the rear pillar with m6 nutserts and trimmed the plastic trim to fit over it. I've also got a led torch in a webbing case that I'll strap to the standoffs with Velcro so it's in a easy to get to spot.

Went out for a play this morning to test/tune the swaybar and check clearances. Overall very happy with it! Didn't appear to limit flex at all and seemed to help add a lot of much needed weight to whichever front tire was at full droop. Tested out a few side hill tracks also that normally feel a bit tippy when you point the nose down hill but now most of that feeling is gone. My wife got a few photos on my phone so here are a few.....

The truck is looking sweet

How'd the front sway bar go on the road?
