DIY Quick Disconnect Pins This mod is not my idea. I'll gladly admit I ripped it off another post on the interwebs. But I figured I'd snap some process photos and post the results here. And thanks Kizer for keeping a lid on this until I finally got it installed.
These were made for a friend of mine who's just getting into offroading (and modifying his Jeep).
We all know how helpful a quick disconnect link can be for unhooking the front swaybar. And we all know all the good aftermarket discos available. But their prices are not cheap at $80-140.

I'll be hosting a pot-luck dinner on Saturday, and possibly a few others if there's interest. The Trailer Q will be in tow, and I plan on cooking up a storm of brats, burgers, breakfast buritos, etc. Should be an awesome fun filled weekend of Jeep'n, camp'n, eat'n, and more Jeep'n
Our camp site will be located at Gate 7. Where roads 13 & 14 meet. Going down the highway, gate 7 is located approximately 4 miles past interpretive center, on the right.
