    One of the Jeep ones fits. There were a few D2 nonACE in the early days that were fitted with these.

    Thats a complete swaybar system! At $2k, no thanks.
    Thought you meant a simple disconnection type of pin or something like that

    Guys thanks very much for the useful tips. I think I'll replace the original shockers with originals at some stage. I mostly do city driving and occasionally do off road mainly fire trails and touring in national parks. For what i do i think the stock d2 is more than capable so there's not much point in making serious modification to my vehicle at this stage. I must say i haven't tried using the sls on my d2 and should do so to see if it makes any difference.

    Anyways one last question... what is the brand of original shockers for d2, LR or some other brand? Cheers.

    Pretty wise choice, as your D2 is way more capable than just fire trails out of the box.

    Does your car have SLS? It came mostly with the 7 seaters, but it's brilliant when it's working. I ditched mine before I got to know the car, or had even heard of this forum. If it has it, fix it. It is the biggest regret I have with my D2.

    As for the brand? I don't know. Contact Mario, Roverlord here, he'll know.

    Google slickrock fabrications. They come as a pair but you only need to fit one, front LH side ... Go halves with another forum member.

    Had looked at theirs, but they are for a D2, i have a RRC. BUT, it did get me wondering whether a d2 front swaybar could be fitted to my rrc?
    I did make a set of quick releases out of hitch pins, but due to the sideways force of the rrc/d1 type sway bars they snapped the cotter pins in 5 mins.
    What do you do about the rear bar on a d2?

    I actually have the offroad suspension mode, not the SLS sorry. I haven't needed to engage it so far, but I guess I should run it from time to time to ensure its working condition. Cheers.

    U don't have SLS? The angle of the pic looks like an airbag under the rear end? Sorry if I'm misinterpreting ur comment.
