Took it in to the body shop to repair driver side door, lock, and ignition because some little ***** tried to steal it. Instead they just ended up with all my stereo equipment. Thankfully, they were nice and gentle about removing everything.
There's nothing I hate more than thieves. Hope it all works out for you.

Had more fun today with my welder.
Took some measurements and narrowed the rear link pins 2" to get the bar flat and level with the rear end when it's on the ground.
I butt welded them and then for extra strength welded a sleeve over the two pieces, should be plenty strong enough or overkill... Whatever it was free so it saved me some cash.
I really need argon and more practice but so far it's been a fun learning experience! image.jpeg

Better look at close when its on the ground. Your sway bar may be resting or close to that Panhard bar bracket. If so, your about to have a terrible trampoline ride on the freeway.

On the way home at 80 on the freeway it was a solid ride however I will definitely double check! Thanks for the heads up man!!!

If it was solid you're probably okay. You'd know it if you weren't. It would feel like it had a pogo stick in that corner. Looks good man

Thanks Dan and that would have been an embarrassing ride so I'm glad it didn't happen!

Got my Gibson exhaust on. After spraying the flange nuts the past 3 nights, install was easy-peasy. Nuts broke loose with nothing but a socket wrench. OEM exhaust cut with the reciprocating saw. New exhaust bolted up with ease. Sounds great without being noisy on the inside. Very happy with my purchase.

@SlowD That's why DJM makes the bent end links that relocate the swaybar 1" or so towards the passenger side. Even with them, mine barely clears. Good thing you got lucky there! Good job, welding is what I want to learn next.
