I finally got around to removing my sway bar and I love having the front suspension be more independent! I'd done it on my RAM 1500 before and loved it then. Great video guys! 👍
Quick update. While driving at highway speeds yesterday, my Bronco became dangerously unstable and I decided that the engineers knew that it should have a sway bar installed after all! LoL Going to put it back on today!@@HorsinAround
It's not bad on the road as we said in the video, and off-road also. Shelf roads are no different, just dirt roads with a drop-off on one side, that doesn't much affect things. If you meant off-camber that's a different thing but as long as we're not loaded heavily its still fine in off-camber. I will say that more recently we've been doing more camping, with a roof-rack and more weight loaded up high, and in that situation I think it would be better to have the sway bar under there.
I must live right next to y’all, I know exactly where the first hill was filmed. Would love to wheel with y’all. I’ve got a 2dr Basequatch manual in velocity blue.
Our Bronco didn't come with one, nor did any 2021 Broncos of any trim level. They started adding them to 2022's. You can of course remove it, drive it around for a while and see if you like it, if it feels safe, etc., then decide to either leave it off or put it back on. Every Bronco and use case is different.
If you mean our complete removal of the sway bar, yes indeed we are still happy with it! In fact we've been on several more long road trips with it, even towing a small trailer, and are not missing the sway bar at all. And of course off-road it's much better without it. The caveats we mentioned in the video still apply (that it's been a net positive for our use case but we won't blanket-recommend it for everyone).
The sway bar has been gone for 4 or 5 months now, with no regrets and no going back. Lots of off-road, on-road, loaded heavy or light, even towing our small trailer.
Yeah I'm not sure. I don't have a Badlands so I haven't looked into that. I have heard several people complain about it though so I'm sure someone has looked into it.
Looks like you've put quite a lot of money into that thing already! Lockers should be next, and probably should have been one of the earlier mods since you do seem to offroad the thing.
Lockers are a bigger can of worms that we haven't felt the need to open yet. Relatively easy and cheap mods like this can make the difference for most wheeling, for us and lots of people who bought a Bronco without them.
That won’t void your warranty dealer has to prove that whatever was done caused an issue and if anything the only part of the warranty that can be considered voided would be your suspension only because of the shocks aren’t stock.
The dealer can do or not do whatever they want, then force you to fight for it regardless of who is right or wrong. Like we said in the video, it can still come down to choosing the right dealer. But the real point of that part of the video was to stop worrying about it and just do whatever you want to YOUR vehicle to get it to perform the way you want it to. And to pre-empt what the know-it-alls on the Internet are going to say or post in the comments :)
Lol, love this couple. This is exactly how I want things to be when I get to their stage in life!
Thanks!
You guys are great. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching you guys as a couple and as 4 wheel drivin enthusiasts.
We're glad you like the videos! :)

Steffie I’m right with you on the coffee!!
Where did you get the disconnects that you were going to put on? I'm not sure I would want to do a delete
They are from AC-Fab.
Can you delete the rear sway bar?
Our Bronco didn't come with one, nor did any 2021 Broncos of any trim level. They started adding them to 2022's. You can of course remove it, drive it around for a while and see if you like it, if it feels safe, etc., then decide to either leave it off or put it back on. Every Bronco and use case is different.
It was nice meeting you folks at KOH. Thanks for the
content. Are you still happy with the disconnect ?

need to watch , as not sure how would affect Chanel's on road performance

I’m wondering if we can change the automatic reconnect speed on the Badlands with Forscan
Yeah I'm not sure. I don't have a Badlands so I haven't looked into that. I have heard several people complain about it though so I'm sure someone has looked into it.

Forget adding lockers. it would be better off investing in axles, less hassle, and cheaper labor.

Does it effect highway driving?
A little bit but it's almost negligible on this Bronco since we keep it light.
Funny 😂❤
