I got the whole rear axle, disk to disk, with the fat sway bars on both ends, all from the donor 95sr John found. Perfect time to cut the old swb front sway bar and try the disconnect idea. I've never been comfortable without the bars. Gets pushy in the slideys. And I like the flatter cornering on the street and highway. I'd like to do a targa top, either one piece or two, fabbing the cut outs to clamp back in and weatherseal. Have to try that first on a parts truck, I think, this one is too nice.
Best way to remove window tint?

Best way to remove window tint? Just FYI, you cant use the "fat Bar" on the rear. Ends are not long enough to line up the end links. However the gen 1 Bar fits fine on the axle.

Are the bar "pillow blocks" movable? If I can't have the fat bar, it's better not to have it on the rear if you like whee moments and countersteering...
Thanks, Justice.

Best way to remove window tint? I haven't tried it myself, but the Interwebz sez you can douse your tint with ammonia based Windex, cover it with dark plastic trash bags and let it sit in the sun to heat up. After taking these steps, jumping on one foot in seven circles and rubbing your head backwards, the tint should just peel away! If you try it, let us know how it goes!
