    While i agree about having no front sway bar, theresnot much difference, but there is no way in hell i will remove it. I will not risk my hard work, time and money I've poured into Patrol to just to have better off road performance. When simply unbolting it will do the same thing. Last thing is having to make a claim with my insurance and they find out my car is unroadworthy and they deny my claim.
    The five minutes it takes to climb under and unbolt a side is not worth the risk imo.
    So to the ops question if he needs the stabilizer. Simple answer is yes. Or no if you want to run the risk with your insurance.

    I don;t run one either but the insurance company would have a hard time justifying the EGR block caused an accident but the swaybar on the other hand...........
    I always wanted the disconnects but I'm way to lazy to get out of the vehicle to connect and disconnect. Patrol goes pretty good with them on, for what I do anyways

    The insurance company would have a hard time proving that a cold air intake or catalytic converter-less exhaust caused an accident too but they are both things that make a car illegal and insurance companies don't insure illegal cars.

    But I guess it's all about the size of the claim and how involved the assessor gets.

    My trol has factory rear sway bar release and it makes a noticeable difference off road. Heaps of body roll if it's disconnected on road too, Woohoo!

    Yep agreed, even though the above would not affect the stability or handling of the car, still illegal.

    Now, we just need to find a push button sway bar disconnect and I'll be happy...anyone???
