Did you gut the inside of the fender and trim the cladding?

Any thoughts on a dash controlled super flexy IFS?

YES!!! Hopefully we will see this produced by a large automaker in the future...
.Remember when just a few years back, a few folks were cutting the front swaybar on jeeps and welding on splines and a coupler, contolled with a cable...badda-bing NOW JEEP OFFERS THIS FROM THE FACTORY ON AT LEAST TWO MODELS....push-button swaybar disconnect....

Yep, long ago I tore out all the inner plastic fenders...and smacked all the high points down with a BIG sledge hammer...opened it up....beat the firewall back about 1"
Trimmed the cladding 1" around the radius as well

Interesting! I met the guy who invented the Revolver shackles and I figured he had made a bunch of money off of the patent sell to Teraflex. When I asked him about it he said you really don't get that much money from it. What is your stance? Have you floated the idea around to a bunch of places, come up with some sort of cost per unit sell or something?YES!!! Hopefully we will see this produced by a large automaker in the future...

I was referring to a dash-mounted super flexy IFS controller for the VX, not looking to buy a 2014 Jeep. I've got to think something could be substituted for the removable pin?

I think the thing you're looking for in that case is a solenoid. You could also use a cable or push rod to make it lever actuated. An air or hydraulic cylinder would also work but require a little more work. I'd stick with the solenoid. You would probably have to taper the pin too so it would engage smoothly. How hard is it to get out and pull a pin though? Seems like for as much as you'd use this, you could pull a pin out 50 times and it would take just as long as installing a system like that once, not to mention cost, complexity, and reliability.I was referring to a dash-mounted super flexy IFS controller for the VX, not looking to buy a 2014 Jeep.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

I thought about a solenoid, but I didn't know if you had to move that yolk back and forth in order to get the pin in.

I have an idea, go to Home Depot, yell "Uno", put a harness under the VX, and voila, knock once to engage, knock twice to disengage.

Good idea, but might have clearance issues.

Unless you have skid plates. Obviously I've never installed this kit on my VX, but I would think it would be difficult to pull (and probably even harder to replace) the pin without removing the plate. If that's the only way to do it, then it kind of defeats the point of an easy to use pin.
