hi all i have a 1997 4.0 tj which i am fitting a winch to i have a winch plate and want to mount it as far back as possible which would mean removal off the anti roll bar which i dont have a problem with as a bit more axle articulation is good for trialing which is what the jeep is going to be used for i would say 20 % road use 80% off road just looking for other peoples opinions really?? many thanks in advance

chop it off, but make sure you take all the brackets off too on the axles etc

i have run my TJ without a sway bar for months on end, more body roll but you get used to it

as Will said remove all bits for MOT, if its not there cant be tested

I'll leave it connected cheers

People are amazed my jeep stays upright around corners without the roll bars. After a few days you don't care, after a few months you don't notice and after a few years you don't remember.
