What’s wrong with Starbucks and soy?
I wouldnt even give it to my dog? Soy gives ya man boobies LOL
FALSE?: The isoflavone intake in high soy-consuming regions like Japan and China is 40 mg per day.....
No I rest my case :)
high concentration of isoflavones, a type of plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) that is similar in function to human estrogen. Soy isoflavones can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and cause either weak estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity.

I have the disconnects. They work pretty well, though the benefits are only felt in specific situations. Hardest part is getting them back on (truck has the be completely level).

My avg. mpg has also increased by 0.001% due to the increased articulation.

Thank you all for your thoughtful answers on my sway bar removal question.
When a new member clicks on this, they will definitely have all the information they need to make a thoughtful decision about removing their sway bar.

Any TREMOR owners that have removed your sway bar or rigged some disconnects?

Thoughts on how the Fox 2.0s perform without them?

Do you get better gas mileage because there is less weight? Have you removed your spare tire or filled your tires with helium to get better mileage? Thinking about also upgrading my spare to a small donut from a 2005 Toyota Prius with a similar lug pattern.
Not a tremor owner, Fx4. Removed the sway bar up front. Very happy with increased articulation. Bit more lean and wander when pulling overlanding trailer w/ RTT, but well worth improved offroading.

Thank you sir, for one of the first useful answers!
May I ask your suspension setup or totally stock?

Can always count on you to say nothing productive or relevant.
You know, if you had limited your very first post to this:
"Any TREMOR owners that have removed your sway bar or rigged some disconnects?

You would very likely have gotten considerably more answers of a more serious nature with much less fun being poked at you throughout this thread. If you pay any attention here at all you'll notice some significantly superior intellect as well as automotive experience along with some really funny characters.

Choose your wording and the timing of your snark more carefully and you'll likely have a much more satisfactory experience on this forum, in my opinion.

The meat of the question is, nobody has taken their sway bar off or gotten new end links for a quick detach?

Can someone discuss this. My Prius spare tire question has been answered. Thank you previous people for your thoughtful responses.
Yes, I got quick disconnects via this forum from a fellow who had a bunch fabbed up. Definitely increased articulation and kept both front wheels down and pulling a bit longer. You should be able to find the thread via search - maybe there are some still available.

Yeah $200 was steep and I had just made some other purchases for the truck so I couldn't snag them at the time. Pretty sure he only did one batch of them and only sold them for a couple months.

I've looked at using other options but it's similar price point and I would still need to modify parts. If I didn't drive the truck like I stole it I'd consider just removing the sway bar completely.
The price was ridiculous for a piece of all-thread with bushings on the ends... and then he would talk shit about the Ranger community not supporting him.
I grabbed a set made for jeeps on Amazon and drilled out the steering knuckle with a half inch bit and now have a set of quick disconnect end links on my Ranger

$50 worth every penny

You will eventually have to trim some of the rubber off of some of the bushings. Mine all fit great out of the box but after removing them a few times the rubber would cover the pin hole
