Sway bar disconnect is great for trails that have your wife and kids hitting their heads off the side windows. Smooths it out instantly.

Nope, I bought a JKU mountain edition for 22,000 with 19,000 miles on it in 2012. Built it as good as or maybe better than I could of bought a Rubicon for. Added lockers that I probably never used. Only thing I did t do was 4.10 gears which I should of done instead of the lockers. The JT Max tow has 4.10 gears and wide track axles and can tow more. If I need lockers I can do that for under $1800. Don't need none of the creature comforts. The cheapest Rubi was $49,000 sticker and mine was $37,000 out the door. I would of removed bumpers and lifted it so those things would of been a waste and I can do quick disconnects on mine for the sway bars, don't need electric sway bar disconnects. I added Rubicon springs to my front and Rubi fox shocks for $290. Tires would of came off and the wheels because not a fan of the Rubi Wheels and I'm.not running anything under 35's. For $40,000 all in mine is sitting like this. For another $1800 I'd basically have a Rubicon other than electric Sway bar Discos, so I'm loving not buying a Rubicon

Maybe you can get a rubi one and put a manual knob on it. My brother turned his dodge into a power wagon with axels and sway from the wreckers . Was an ordeal to figure out how the wires work to connect toggle switches . He can manually switch the axels and sway but theres no safety on it. Before he figured that out he had a manual deal that allowed him to reach under and activate it.
