BleepinJeep I noticed on your Jeep your using some badass King Shocks. I have a few questions if you don't mind 1) Is it possible to build a 4 door Jeep with an 8 foot bed with a payload Capacity of 2,000 pounds that could do everything the new Ford Raptor can do? 2) Who is the best builder to accomplish this besides ICON? 3) What gas power train would you go with? LS3? 4) In your experience how much would it cost to be done correctly with OEM quality & durability? 5) What kind of Mpg would you guess this type of build get? I travel a lot
Thanks for the video, truly enjoyed it just like the many others you and Matt posted in the past. When I was shopping for an aftermarket sway bar, I considered going with the Currie as well. That said I ultimately went with another company basically due to being able to fully disconnect. So my question is....are there any advantage of the Currie over others and if so, why is not being able to fully disconnect better? Thanks, and keep up the good work guys!
Been running Antirocks on my JK for a couple years. One of my favorite mods everytime I watch guys laying under the front of their Jeeps in the dirt trying to reconnect their swaybars. Really work well off-road too. Would install them again in a sec!
Hey nate, Eric over here in Spokane. Just wanted you to know that your new turbo boost intro makes me smile like a kid at Christmas. Very wicked. You and matt now have the best intro.
I love the Antirock they make the jeep feel so much more stable on off camber stuff. I have an Antirock on the front of my TJ and one ready for the rear when I do an axle swap.
Quality video installing a quality product. One of the easiest and most effective upgrades for the TJ suspension. Had mine on for a couple years now and love it. No more crawling under the rig to disconnect made it all worth it! Will be getting the rear one later this year. Thanks Nate! BTW - Shop looks great
Once again another great video thank you guys I had no idea there were almost 900 videos it's going to take a long time to watch those and I guess it's like an old Harley you just got to keep checking the Nuts and Bolts
Watched a bunch of videos about this. I am convinced the sway lock is the way to go that are performance on the road and off. Will see mine should be here in three days.
@@Gordon87Gekko it’s the name of a company that makes detachable sway bars with the flip of a little lever. Done Wheeling flipped the lever the other way locks it back in. Punch it into RU-vid sway sway bars. That’s how I found them. Amazing set up.
Love these types of vids!!!!! More vids of the tj pls!!! And u should do a vid on how suspension systems work for jeeps and trucks, and teach us how to fabricate and build our own tjs
I'm glad you're enjoying this stuff! I have a lot more planned for the TJ and I'm starting to lean a lot more in this direction. I'm putting together a new series that will teach the basics of how a lot of this stuff works. Gas vs diesel, horsepower vs torque, long arm vs short arm. Anything else you'd like to see?
It was good to meet you guys as well! We will have to hit a local Trail sometime. If you have Instagram DM me and we'll try to put something together. @bleepinjeepnate
Try installing a JKS Flex connect sway bar link kit with that Anti Rock sway bar. Do a base line test of each and then another with both installed. Would it perform better with or without Flex connect. Would you get max flex? It would look funny but in theory I think it would give max performance in flex.
Yet another thing you have to have to get the benefits of the raised suspension. I hate the concept of a high truck unless it's done properly in such a way that it works.
I’ve honestly just never ran away bars on any rigs I’ve had. Usually the first thing I just rip off and throw in the trash.. I don’t mind the body roll the weight is centered down low so not like you’re going to be unstable. I’ve scared some passengers in my last tj wo doors and making high speed 90* turns though lol.
Dang! You are a tough one to rock no sways! I feel more safe doing longer trips to like Moab and rolling through those windy plains. Can't afford a trailer til I make more content for my channel!
I wanna see a video of getting in and out of the jeep parked at those angles. I'm 36 going on 86 if you see me getting in and out when its parked like that... lol :D
LOL Nate. Surprised you didn't get the aluminum ones. Have the JKS quick disconnects, in fact. 2 pair because they shipped twice. If I can sell them I'll definitely go that route.
I would be interested in the aluminum version but I read some mixed reviews on them. I can't confirm this from experience but it seems like a lot of people are having issues with the splines wearing out on the aluminum arms. That's the only concern I would have
Any chance of a update on how you like the antirocks and how it affected your wheeling and on-road stability. Seems to be a happy medium between a factory sway bar and no sway bar.
I will say, they work wonders. I love mine. Have about 2,000 miles on them so far. The comfort added when hitting small bumps on roads, like potholes is nice. Body roll is not very noticeable, especially after a day of driving. And off road it kind of "pushes" the wheel down and into a flex. Just about to post up a comparison video of it and you can really see the difference.
Pretty cool Nate! What are your thoughts on it going down the road? Does the body roll in corners feel about the same as a conventional sway bar and link set up or does it have more "give"?
Unfortunately the laws are strict enough where I live I can't drive this on the street anymore. However I've had it on dirt roads at about 45 and it is surprisingly stable at those speeds. I won't be able to get it on the highway until Easter Jeep Safari next year but so far it's great. It's definitely not as stable as the factory sway bar but I'm very much in control at 45 mph
It definitely has more give than factory. Will take you some time to adjust but then you are used to how it performs on the street. How much give and roll is also dependent on your other suspension components and to some degree your tires. Remember, you aren't driving a sports car, so you can't expect it to corner like one. 😉
jrg10332 I agree. I went from a factory bar to the currie on the front and stock back and it’s junk. If I regret having spent all that money. Maybe good for trailer queen..
Thanks for the replay Nate, the reason I ask is I am putting together a 6.5" IRO long arm kit on my WJ right now and upgraded the rear bar to an Addco 1" and used the JKS disconnects in the front. I want it to be stable on the road but also preform well off road. That is why I asked. Kind of a bummer you can't use it on the road any more....
As usual, another great video. Question: After installing my Rock-Jock Antirocks, the flex is now causing rear 37's to rub against the lower pinch seam area where my Smittybilt fender flares are located. This never happened when I had the JKS Quicker disconnects. I even added bump stops an inch taller than what I had with my AEV 4" lift. Thoughts and suggestions? I'm running stock control arms, 2018 JKU
I noticed with them, it kind of forced a wheel to the ground more. Disconnects made it kinda float freely while the antirock kind of pushed it more to the ground, almost forcing the flex more if that makes sense. You can kind of see it in a couple of my videos. And especially in the one that will be posting up in a couple of days on my channel.
I don't own a wrangler yet but I plan on it by next year. I've been watching a lot of your videos to see should I go Rubicon or unlimited sport s. I plan on running 37" tires btw.
If you plan on building something crazy and swapping out axles and all that as soon as you get it, save money and just go for a sport or Sahara. If you plan on running 37s and want to basically leave the axles alone, get the rubicon as they are the best right out of the box. Little more money up front, but you don't have to add on extra to get locking diffs and beefier axles later on to run 37s.
I love the new JL, I got to drive a Rubicon at ejs this year. It seems like it might be the most refined jeep ever made! When they come out with the diesel version next year, my wife and I will be test driving some for sure
I know people are anti-mud but anti-rock? First time hearing about this! Do you think this is worth the $500 to $600 price tag over just disconnecting the factory sway bar?
Have one installed on my XJ; it works great on and offroad and also negates the effects of unloading if you have radius arms. I don't miss disconnecting/reconnecting one bit. Set it and forget it. Looks like the 3-way obstacle on the 311 trail at Evans Creek?
So there are the 5 pin holes, how do I know which one to put the bar in. I bought my jeep with one already installed and I don't know if I should move it or not. It is at the pin closest to the front of the jeep.
I have the nv3550 and so far it's doing really well. I was worried about the extreme low end torque vs this clutch and tranny but everything's holding together great so far! I plan on turning up the engine quite a bit in a future video so we'll see how the transmission does when the torque gets closer to 400 instead of 300 LOL
Unfortunately I don't get to drive my Jeep on the street very often so I've only been able to experience it Off Road. The stability is night and day on dirt roads and trails! All the dirt roads that we hit to and from the trail are much less sketchy now that I have sway bars LOL.
I'm looking at replacing my front swaybar with their anti rock sway bar. The passenger side quick disconnect doesn't work, it doesn't clear the flipped draglink.
I would highly recommend it. Now I have a JK but the concept is the same. I absolutely love it. My install and comparison video will be popping up in a couple days. I was shocked to see the difference it truly makes!
Hey guys, Im buying a used JKU with the currie: its a rubicon, and im not sure i prefer the currie to being able to Electronically disconnect... How is the removal of this system to go back to stock Rubicon Elec Disconnect? any tips? thanks
What kind of bump stops are you using? I have the same lift on my tj and having trouble figuring out what bump stops I need. What axle are you running to be able to have 40 in tires?
Excuse my ignorance. .With that front sway bar you don't have to disconnect before you crawl? i though all sway bars have to be disconnected. I though sway bars was meant to be use for the street.? Somebody 😕
These sway bars are designed for use on and off road meaning the bar itself has a really small amount of twisting force. It's just barely enough to keep it stable at high speeds and soft enough not to inhibit Flex Offroad. I've been out on the trails twice since installing this and it's pretty incredible how much Flex it still has Offroad. If I could post a pic on RU-vid comments I would show you because I too was pretty skeptical before I bought one
Good to know. I have an air ratchet, any idea if a VIAIR compressor would be able to power it? I'm gonna guess that's a no, but in either case I'm gonna look into buying one of these.
@@macsogandares8383 some air ratchets actually use a TON of air. You would probably need to run one or two pretty decent size tanks on board if you are going to make it work with a viair compressor. Viair makes some killer compressors but a air ratchet is a lot of demand for a 12volt air
Its an older Mac. I've used it on a 2 gallon tank (harbor freight) and it drains it in no time. The Viair compressor would do better but probably not good enough.
I never understood that stupid thing what does it do that stiffer springs won’t do offroad. Don’t get me wrong I’m pretty sure it’s a huge upgrade for on road but that’s it. I’d rather off-road unlinked. At first I thought this was like the hub disconnect type skyjacker sells which I think that is a better setup.
I understand your skepticism! It took me 14 years to buy one of these things LOL. The out-of-the-box suspension kits were too stiff for me so I got really soft dual rate coilovers. This made the ride much more comfortable at high speeds but I lost a lot of stability overall. When I saw how big of a difference a rear sway bar made I had to check out what it would be like to run it in the front as well. The stability on Xtreme inclines is unbelievable... Seriously dude, if you Road in something like this I bet it would change your mind like it did mine. There is a reason why every vehicle at King of the Hammers runs of these things. You get improve stability no matter what the speed!
yes, almost too convincing... $600 is too much for me, but they do have a bolt-on kit made for the *XJ* on their website; www.currieenterprises.com/ce-9900xjf
Its a huge difference between what you get with just disconnecting the front sway bar. I was also very skeptical until I rode in several TJ's that had them. Definitely made me a believer. Coupled with the fact that you don't ever have to worry about disconnecting makes it a great investment.
Hello? Is there anybody in this comment area that has an anti-rock on there jeep XJ? Could you please give me some advice as to how I am supposed to properly adjust the end?
Surprised that there isn't any of the XJ community in here talking shit about running sway bars lol. Man they hate sway bars in every XJ group I'm in lol.
To be honest I was one of those people too. I never hated sway bars but when the Jeep had an out of the box lift, things were stable enough. Once I did dual rate coilovers and really soft front shocks it was obvious that I needed to do something. The body roll was pretty bad LOL scares the crap out of my wife! Now it handles as it should while still maintaining and extremely soft ride. There's a reason almost every competitor at King of the Hammers has sway bars!
The antirock will still make the Jeep ride worse on the street, as it is just a softer sway bar, but it is still worth it imo for the extra stability off road.
The ride isn't any different on the street than with the stock sway bar if anything they ride a little better. You may get more body roll though depending how you set it up.
I wouldn't necessarily say worse, but it does take some getting used to. Also depends on your tires, control arms and what springs you are running. I actually like the ride better than stock.
I understand how they work but they still just seem like black magic to me. Everything in me screams that they would upset the vehicle by not allowing one wheel to droop independently of the other. I know they are torsion bars but it just leaves me stuttering on the effectiveness of it.
Does Nate realize that he says and the closed caption even says tj but he is clearly working on a jk? Just figured the guys on tv should know what they are talking about before I listen to install procedures and its not even my style of jeep.
I dont run sway bars. If you drive a jeep like its a jeep not a friggin race car...... you really dont need a sway bar. Why is it that all the yuppie jeepers think you gotta drive jeeps so dam fast and reckless... slow motion and big tires is the way to be cool in a jeep.
Unrelated to the sway bar.... what genders do you have on there? That’s the look I’m going for on mine! Great video though, it was nice to actually see it in use. Edit 1: 🤦♂️... fenders, not genders.
This thing is a waste of money , sold my for 2/3 of the price after 3 months , on road is horrible , and I never did any extreme rock crawling to get the full benefit .
What was horrible about it? I found that on road was only slightly more body roll than stock. But felt more comfortable in general. And I don't do hard core rock crawling and still find more of a benefit to it. Even have a comparison posting of a basic rutted out section of a trail to show the differences
