Yeah, there was quite a little hole.  We threw some sticks and logs and stuff in there to try and fill it in, after Matt had already went through.  But yeah, his rear tire didn't touch, was just kinda floating down the hill following the other 3

Since I'm not as mechanically inclined as you, how would that affect everyday driving?

sway bars greatly reduce body roll. This comes in handy at highspeed lane changes and low/medium speed turns. With a top heavy vehicle like the durango or my jeep i wouldnt suggest it for everyday driving. I have the wrenches to take off my sway and it will take like 2 minutes top to disconnect the front and the next time we go i am going to do it.

Yeah, that'd be nasty to roll.  Which Matt's already done that with Roland and myself in the Bronco II already.  (Back in the older days)

You're Jeep would be pretty mean I imagine when you disconnect the sway bar.  Next time we go to Hurricane Shoals, it looks like we'll pretty much be going to the powerline area and checking that out, we barely got to scratch the surface on that place.  So hopefully you'll be there for that with us.  Which a date hasn't even been set yet, I'm sure we'll keep you posted.

Weekends are definitely better for those who actually have the weekends off.  So, it's mainly up to Matt, he's the one that can either make or break a plan. 

How's April 1st sound there Matt?

BigJerm,

Do you know whether or not you'll be attending the Sunday deal?

That's cool.  I just wasn't sure.  Hope so, though.

its not really that bed you just have to remember its not their (a lot less aggressive)
I know a lot of people that drive without the sway bar.
