We installed these Apex AutoLYNX with the Antirock because it was already installed on the yellow JL and we really wanted to try these AutoLYNX disconnects out. YES, it is redundant to run them both. YES, they both work good. But you really only need one or the other.
Just a best practice suggestion here... Once off the trail it is best to push and click at least one side into place and then the other side will automatically lock. if both sides are left undone it is a lot harder for it to lock automatically. Thank you for the awesome install video!
I had these the month they came out in Jan ‘21. I had them on that jeep for almost 3 years before it got a new owner. Great performance, great value, and very innovative with the design. They are so easy to use.
Love them on out 2018 JL with a 3" lift. Easy install. Simple disengagement and engagement. Been running them about a year and a half now with zero issues or complaints.
I’ve been running these for 2 years now and love the crap out of them. 920 CTI, 1150 RTI on a JKU with standard length adjustable control arms. 100% worth the money.
I ordered these just MINUTES before watching this video. Thank you so much!! Also, I have a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Overland. Going wheeling for the second time on May 21 and I cannot wait to feel the difference.
New proud Jeep 2023 Wyllis owner. Learning still but these look awesome with all the options for sway bar disconnect this seems the best so far. Canadian plus shipping will e pricy so i need to find trails and places in my area first before i am ready to pick these up. Saved in my Jeep stuff for now. Really nice!! ++
I'm a new Jeep owner Patrick. I'm still learning as well. Yes, this was very informative. I've already ordered them and will install once they show up. Can't wait!!!
No trimming is required. The 8" stroke AutoLynx is designed for 0"-2" lift kits. Although down the road you may want to look into getting the high line fenders found on the Rubicon JL models for more clearance.
Really like these but am concerned about the clearance with my reservoir on my FOX 2.5 DSC shocks. Any idea if there would be an issue with the standard mounting location?
I’d like to have something like this on the rear. I understand it doesn’t help with flex back there, but when running disconnected up front the rear clearly wags the front around. Just for comfort.
AutoLYNX retains your stock strength sway bar while still allowing articulation when you switch them. Anti rock is just a lighter weight sway bar all the time.
Yep, @Jason Floyd has got it right. The Antirock is a lighter rate sway bar that is there all the time. The AutoLYNX can be ran with the stock sway bar. As far as which one? I would say it depends on your driving style. If you drive your Jeep like a sports car and love twisty roads at speed, I'd go with the AutoLynx, you can run a firmer sway bar. If you don't mind the extra body roll of the Antirock on the street, then the Antirock is the easiest to use, because you don't have anything to disconnect. Just drive right onto the trail and back onto the street.
I say definitely anti rock , it’s the best of all worlds On the road it’s a little lighter , nothing a good set of shocks can’t handle. Off road it flex very nice(almost like no sway) but with the safety of connected sway for extreme situations , And best part you don’t have to deal with it at all.
Yes! Here is the one that's designed for stock - 2" of lift. www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-002-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnects-8-00in-stroke
You've got to go with the 10.5" Autolynx with a lift. www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-001-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnect-10-5in-stroke
Auto lynks or anti rock for a daily driver, weekend trail runner/over lander carrying surf boards, Mtb, camp gear. 3in 35s have to get rid of these quick disconnects pins to much of a hassle.
The AutoLYNX will help keep the OE sway bar feel. The Anti-Rock will feel softer on the road with a little more body roll, BUT, you don't have to turn any knobs.
Hey there! @northridgenation So some lift kits (looking at you JKS) with a “quick” disconnect sway bar link require cutting of the tab on the passenger side as I’m sure you’re aware of. Any solutions for throwing these on there after I’ve cut the thing off?
The link slides inside itself, allowing the sway bar to move without having to disconnect it. No, chose one or the other. The Rock Jock Anti-Rock or the Apex AutoLYNX.
For a lift taller than 2"s, go with the 10.5" AutoLYNX: www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-001-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnect-10-5in-stroke For stock shocks, you will want the 8" travel APEX autoLynx: www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-002-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnects-8-00in-stroke
That ETA is a little old now. Apex told us end of June before they ship out the next run of those. The back orders are stacking up though, so if you want a set, get your order in and get on the list before this next batch runs out.
I paid $1500 for the RC 4 inch lift kit,.doesn't make sense spend almost $500 for just 2 sway bar links 🙄. For your business is ok cuz you are the one making the money. When you offer a 35%/45% off, please let me know 🙏. I do really like it, but the price doesn't work for me.
For a Jeep? Swap in a factory Rubicon electric sway bar and use an EVO MFG No-Limits switch kit: www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/1152-evo-no-limits-on-demand-sway-bar-disconnect
I dont see a problem potentially running the apex along with the antirock. The antirock does a good job on its own but still not as good as a fully disconnected sway bay. IMO use the flex of the antirock for mild rock crawling when you need some flex and the disconnect the Apex when you want all the flex.
I ordered a set. Too often I won't detach my sway bar, or even worse, won't re-attach at the end of the trail. Sometimes it's just too hot, dirty, wet or unlevel and I just don't want to fight with it. So I figured this is cheaper than my insurance deductible. ;)

Thanks for explaining because you guys had me confused. lol. Great Video. Tahuya trails rocks!!
haha Makes sense, I was about to ask... but that makes total sense.

Thanks for the tip and for building a great product!
Will these work on the 21 Mojave?
I had these the month they came out in Jan ‘21. I had them on that jeep for almost 3 years before it got a new owner. Great performance, great value, and very innovative with the design. They are so easy to use.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome to have some personal experience shared here.

I’ve had these on my JT for about 6 months. Great product and easy to operate.
Totally agree!

Sounds like a great match, you'll have to let us know what you think after you got them installed!
I installed the autolynx on my JT. Awesome product for those who don’t have the Rubicon model. No more pins to hassle with other disconnects.
So much easier than pins. 😎
No more grinding or cutting off connection points as well. My Gladiator is a lease and I cannot make those alterations.
@@charliepetricone8974 excellent point.

Right on! Have fun with your Jeep.

Just wanted to say that I'm here because of Edward Shin. I buy Jeep stuff from you guys but didn't even know you had a YT channel lol.
Welcome aboard, glad to have you.
We've become big fans of his channel and Ed (@KrokumOutdoors) has become a good friend of ours and our channel.
Great video. I just bought a Mojave so this seems like the best solution for me. I'm ordering.
If installed, Does the fender need to be trimmed with a 2” molar lift and a 35” tire JL Willy’s? Thanks!
No trimming is required. The 8" stroke AutoLynx is designed for 0"-2" lift kits. Although down the road you may want to look into getting the high line fenders found on the Rubicon JL models for more clearance.

Freeing up the rear sway bar would help with flex too.
These are awesome. Need a set for Gen 6 Bronco.
That would be 😎
Bit redundant with the antirock on there. These are really popular with the Gladiator Mojave crowd.
Agreed, we'll most likely swap the antirock for something else!
Lemme get that antirock if and when you swap it out😂
I was wondering why pair it with the antirock. Is it any better?
@@julioduenas9427 it was on the JL already, so we left it on.
I’m very tempted. They look very nice.
Go for it, we liked the ones we installed.
A little pricy but I’m sure they are very convenient.
AntiRock vs AutoLYNX. Which one and why?
AutoLYNX retains your stock strength sway bar while still allowing articulation when you switch them. Anti rock is just a lighter weight sway bar all the time.
Yep, @Jason Floyd has got it right. The Antirock is a lighter rate sway bar that is there all the time. The AutoLYNX can be ran with the stock sway bar.

On the road it’s a little lighter , nothing a good set of shocks can’t handle.
Off road it flex very nice(almost like no sway) but with the safety of connected sway for extreme situations ,
And best part you don’t have to deal with it at all.
I have been running swayloc swaybar love it so far.
Ok now these are badass 😎
We definitely agree there.
Love that.🎉 you guys ship to Puerto Rico?
Yes we do
Will the APEX AutoLYNX fit an unlifted Jeep? I have a 2024 Willys that is stock and unlifted.
Yes! Here is the one that's designed for stock - 2" of lift. www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-002-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnects-8-00in-stroke
Thanks for the replay. I checked the link. It says in the product notes, in bold, that it will not fit 2024 Wranglers. I wonder why.
@@georgemitchell1980 The Apex website says it does fit the 2024 models. We're sending a message to our web team to update our pag
@@georgemitchell1980 Page is updated!
If I'd have only waited and got these instead of going with the very rudimentary rough country which are getting a little rattly.
So expensive though just to have a quick disconnect. Super convenient but I question whether the price is worth it
If you spend a lot time on the trail and tired of pulling and installing disconnect pins, then we'd say they are definitely worth it.
@@northridgenation This is me. I hate getting dirty before/after the wheeling trip and I go out every couple of weeks when the weather cools.
I wish I went with these instead of the Teraflex dual rate bar. It’s noisy garbage.
Is the 10in a better investment if you have 4 in lift or 8 would do?
You've got to go with the 10.5" Autolynx with a lift.
www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-001-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnect-10-5in-stroke
How do they work on the Rubicon JLU 2018
They work very well. Though with a Rubicon, you have the e-sway bar disconnect, so you shouldn't need these unless you want a redundant backup.
Auto lynks or anti rock for a daily driver, weekend trail runner/over lander carrying surf boards, Mtb, camp gear. 3in 35s have to get rid of these quick disconnects pins to much of a hassle.
The AutoLYNX will help keep the OE sway bar feel. The Anti-Rock will feel softer on the road with a little more body roll, BUT, you don't have to turn any knobs.

New brackets and weld 'em in:

Is that an AEV full width bumper on 37s right? No problem rubbing on full flex?
Yes, AEV full width with 37" Patagonia M/Ts and NO rubbing at full flex.
Why the need for these with an Antirock installed?
You don't need both, one or the other would do the trick. That's our test Jeep, the Anti-Rock was already installed.
Ah, gotcha.
I dont understand hows these work, so the sway bar doesnt move just the sway bar link? Also do you need a rock jock sway bar kit too?
The link slides inside itself, allowing the sway bar to move without having to disconnect it.
No, chose one or the other. The Rock Jock Anti-Rock or the Apex AutoLYNX.
Yall literally said you didn't need to worry about disconnects if the antirock is on.
Yep, but we wanted to try these out to see how they work.
If we are running a 21 Gladiator Sport (stock) would one of these work? which one? (we are eventually plan to lift about 2.5-3 in and add 35's
For a lift taller than 2"s, go with the 10.5" AutoLYNX:
www.northridge4x4.com/part/disconnects/x02-05-001-apex-performance-autolynx-sway-bar-disconnect-10-5in-stroke

Wow when it will be restock?
We haven't heard yet when the next order hits.
84 days wait period on the website?? Is this correct?

Oh my OCD, please flip that bottom bolt on the driver side around lol
Does it fit fj cruiser?
They don't have an application listed for the FJ Cruiser at this time.
@@northridgenation
Is there any part of the listed vehicles that would fit?
Thanks!
👍
Sweet game changer
Wow that’s clever.
This is amazing but it is too expensive 😭
Well worth it in our books!
$450 for a jeep part? Not bad
I paid $1500 for the RC 4 inch lift kit,.doesn't make sense spend almost $500 for just 2 sway bar links 🙄. For your business is ok cuz you are the one making the money.
When you offer a 35%/45% off, please let me know 🙏. I do really like it, but the price doesn't work for me.
@@CarlosRodriguez-oq4hq if your cheap just say that
@Henry Strater am not cheap but that still too expensive 🙄
Website just does not work well enough to purchase.
What are you having problems with?
😅build one for pajero v20 please
Maybe you could adapt one of the Jeep units?
@@northridgenation maybe🤔, i will take a look about it👍🏻
Yeah, i want a sway bar that i can clivk a switch in the car to do it, dont want to get dirty everytime.
For a Jeep?
Swap in a factory Rubicon electric sway bar and use an EVO MFG No-Limits switch kit:

Apex makes cool stuff but installing these on an anti rock definitely defeats the whole purpose of the anti rock.
We agree, but the Anti-Rock was already installed on the JL, so we ran with it.
I dont see a problem potentially running the apex along with the antirock. The antirock does a good job on its own but still not as good as a fully disconnected sway bay. IMO use the flex of the antirock for mild rock crawling when you need some flex and the disconnect the Apex when you want all the flex.
Awesome concept and design, but I can't justify paying that much for what they do.
They are spendy.
I ordered a set. Too often I won't detach my sway bar, or even worse, won't re-attach at the end of the trail. Sometimes it's just too hot, dirty, wet or unlevel and I just don't want to fight with it. So I figured this is cheaper than my insurance deductible. ;)
Imagine spending over $1000 on your swaybar setup 😂
