Here's a Quick, Cheap, swaybar holder that works great.



A Piece of 3/4" tubing bolted to the inner fender, Use pin from diconnect to support swaybar through hole drilled in tubing.

do you drive a tj jeepnut?
I don't really care much for having it disconnected at all on the hwy, for a JY or cj its not a big deal at all.
crawlijuana also leaves his tj bar disconnected I don't think he removed it though!....

Why remove your swaybar if you do any hwy driving at all? The 30 seconds it takes to disconnect when you get to the trail, is a very small price to pay on that day when your head is in the clouds and you hit the corner a little faster then you normally would. As responsible jeep owners, we do everything we can think of to make it safe when we are crawling sideways on a rock @ .5mph. Yet we should throw safety to the wind when were driving @ 70mph. COME ON!!!!!!

I like the holder. I might look at putting one on mine. i don't care if it takes me 30 sec, 30 min or 3 hrs. I will hook mine back up after every trip to the trails. That little time compared to the well being of my lil girl, me or whomever is riding with me. Nothing is worth that. I want to be around long enough to watch her wheel in her  Jeep. I know I am going "home" one day, I just don't to speed up the process.

WOW! everyone got really touchy on that one. yes i do drive a yj. and i can see why on a tj with coil springs you would want to reconnect it after your done on the trail cause coils are more spongy than leafs. if its just a trail rig though i dont see any reason for it.  and im not saying to go out and try to get yourself killed im just saying its a little over rated. it might help some but when you start to lift your vehicle and chenge stuff you have to admit that its more prone to roll with or without the sway bar. because of the higher center of gravity. so you have to be careful on a turn no matter if you have one on or not.
