    Bouncing around on dirt roads is more a result of the short wheelbase.
    That stabalizer is a nice rock anchor.

    Yeah, I don't think it would survive long under my VX, as others can attest I'm not the most gentle off-roader.

    I am seriously thinking about going with the HD torsion bars though to decrease bounce and dive.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    +1, I've been eying those as well. We'll see how the maintenance works out first. Right now, I'm getting ready for some grinding....

    Just spent $30 for a zero offset 17mm wrench to remove the torque converter from the flywheel. Fun times for a one use item *smh*

    I went the other direction and used a really long extension and moved the starter out of the way to get to those bolts.
