You'll want to get those disconnects on so you can disco before you hit the obstacle courses.  It will help you out for sure.

well they are JKS quicker disconnets from JKS.   the short ones, i dont have a lift.  yet..  anyway.   are they pretty easy to install?  i have done a few things.  like the gas/cover thing.   the frontbumper chop (where u cutt off the left/right end and put on these caps) and a light bar on the front. .  im a bit scared as this is a bit more? than i am used to, im not too skilled.  ?   also.  do i need to buy a big jack or buy anthing before i go?

You can do it. It doesnt take many tools or skills to install the JKS quick discos. Dont bother with a jack for now. Everyone and there brother will have one at this show.

Should be 1 bolt on the sway bar side, 1 bolt on the axle side. Remove stock link, put JKS link in place and bolt back up. From what I remember on my JK the sway bar bolt was hard to remove. If anything, just bring the correct socket/wrench for the bolt side to Jeepfest and unbolt the links from the axle and rotate the sway bar up. Thats what I did when I had a JK and it worked great. Heck sometimes i drove weeks before i connected the front back up after a ride.

Things to have for any basic ride: tow points, maybe a tow strap and good sense of humor. CB's, first aid, fire ext. all that other stuff we normally require really wont be much use at an event like this.

Ok, well i can get the tow straps, not sure about the tow points, I have these hooks on my bumper?  i have a sense of humor, dont have a CB, i have 1st aid kit.  but no fire ext... so i will pick up a few things.   im still a bit nervous on installing my JKS quick disconnets.  like i said, im still new to the whole Jeep thing and doing mods, took me all weekend to do the front bumper chop/cap install thing.   :)   

and im sorry about asking too many questions, im really excited. about nxt weekend. i have only been on a trial 3 times, usind 4w Low.  but the trail was going out to a hunting site, so not really stressing.  but fun.  I also installed a AFE COLD AIR INTAKE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER JK,. so i need to say out of any deep water i think.
