2010 Parts Swap

[bigun]

Ok I emailed BJs hopefully I'll hear back before the trip.

[BlackBart]

Hey guys thanks for the help. I called BJ's and he said the big bars (1") came on SOME grand wagoneers and Some J 20's.
Ive got two 7/8" bars but need a 1" or bigger bar.
Thanks.

Hey Charlie - I have everything including the spring plates the sway bar attaches to. If this is a go, let me know what BB wants, just the bar, all of it, like that...

BB! ok, I will compare it to our 77 J20 sway bar.

[Tad]

I'll look too.
Flint if those are 80's spring plates and BB does not need them I'll take them, or I'll trade you for a set that have been flipped for an SOA.

[BlackBart]

I just need the sway bar.
Oh, so I don't reinvent the wheel, is there a thread showing a slick easy way to hook this up on a spring over? Tad mentioned some that were modified for that.

[fulsizjeep]

Tad - the plates are still attached to sway bar. I was afraid to snap off the studs. You can have it all if it is a 7/8" if you like. Was thinking of using it on the SOA Waggy but the shackle reversal kind of throws off all the angles.

80s plates? I thought they were all the same 74-91?

i have an 87 sway bar with links i'll have to unbolt the pads tho!

He needs it his mom's waggy Maxine

Start soaking them they'll come off eventually.
'80s are different but can be made to keep the sway bar in an SOA.

BB,
I found a 1" bar in the yard and 2 of the upper bolts, as I thought no good bushings of any type. I'll get it in the trailer either way.
See link above for modifying the plates.

[BlackBart]

Excellent. If there is something you wanna swap for it let me know.

That is true. When I did my SOA on the CAT, I used some 79 (or older) spring plates and that puts the sway bar mount in the right location without having to do anything. Same goes for Vise-Versa, when doing an SOA for and older rig, use the 80 or newer plates.....

I find it simply amazing that one could find a FSJ with 2 people looking under it to see what broke

See you all in about a month.
I hope I can get the D60 under there by then.
Ignorance is bliss.

I am a slacker on this one.

oh man... multi threading parts here... likes parts...

got home late tonight - looked at my junk - ok the 88 GWs have 1" sway bar. Never knew that. The 76 is a 7/8" bar. Soaking... What about the smaller plates that stack in there shown in the middle, need that?

[Tad]

Flint,
Not really, I just need 80's style.
Like Jaime said above, no work needed to make the 70's stuff work, they can just be relocated.
The '80's spring plates have the sway bar built into the spring plates.
That's why they need to be cut and flipped to work.
I'll bring you a set, it's easier to visualize when you have a set in you hand.
