If you ever drive off-road think twice about adjusting the steering stops. They are adjusted the way they are at factory to prevent the banjo bolts on the brake calipers from hitting the shocks during articulation and turning. You can damage the shocks and banjo bolts/brake lines and lose braking as a result. This is especially important to consider if you disconnect or remove the sway bar.

Is there an upgrade available for a sway bar?

Not that I’m aware of nor is one needed. Some put disconnects on the links and others like myself just remove them and leave it off

Would you put that on a 16” original rim?

It wouldn't make the highways better tolerated with the winds?
Not really in a leaf spring vehicle. Maybe if your driving like an idiot you might feel a difference but for most I doubt you’d feel a quantifiable difference

In the previous century the sway bar was an option for the first time in ‘78 on the CJ -7.

I had a 77 Cj-5 with a 360. Drove 10’s of thousands of miles In that thing, I didn’t even know what a sway bar was, I lived.
from WW2 to the late 70’s there was no such thing as a sway bar on a CJ

5)Locking hubs
6)high flow air filter
7)RX41 turbo

Can’t imagine hours of running at 28-2900 rpm with the engine clattering away.The first thing I would do to a new Roxor is get rid of that HIDEOUS front end and go back to the old school original of the first generation!

I felt the same way about the front end, but it grew on me for sure

The repair manual stated the torque band with ranges from 2000k to 3500k rpms, I don't like pushing it past 2900k rpms

I wouldn't dare to put a big tune, like a stage 2 tune from DF with zero parts upgrade and then run it at 5th gear at 2900 RPMs. The radiator Temps will sky rocket like crazy after 50miles on the highway

I worked on a 2022 it looks like the intake correction piece comes standard now. But the one I worked in didn't come with the red skid plate for the oil pan. Shocks will greatly improve ride quality
What kind of intake correction kit does it come stock with? I'm curious more than anything ?
