Be careful of what you wish for. Retirement isn't a bed of roses. It's full of thorns.

You lose time - you end up with 6 days in a week, not 7, 20 hours in a day, not 24, and 11 months in a year.
I tried to write July dates on the vacuum bags I was freezing raspberries in - and that was yesterday.

Getting old isn't for wussies. You have more past than you have future.

Wife and I are retired two years now and loving it. You need something to do, we have hobby's Wife does stained glass, I am a woodworker, mostly turnings, we both enjoy model trains in our garden and we have two vintage campers that we take camping. The trick is to keep busy or you get bored, then you will not last long.

I’m at the mid point. But the second half will hurt more.

I never really thought about this until my dad passed at 61 last year. It dawned on me I'm only 21 years younger than him. Then I realized the life expectancy of an average male is around 76, and that I have 20 years of stress and abusing my body in the military, years of unhealthy food choices before I tried to clean up my eating that might lower that age some. This is why I decided I'm not waiting around for things any longer. Time is precious.

As someone who hasn’t gone the anti rock route, can I ask why you switched back?

I bought it with the anti rock and it was just very loose feeling and too much sway. The rocksports reds might have also contributed to this.
Put the stock Rubi bar back on along with some tuned Fox's and it drives down the road like a stocker.

Possibly having dual antirocks doesn't really do as intended may cause a lean towards outside of curve or on incline .

Yes side to side sway was an issue but mainly the front to rear sway was bad.

Talked to metalcloak and they pointed the finger at the dual anti rocks rather than the rocksport reds. I think it was a combination of both, but with the current setup it drives better than most lifted Jeeps I have owned. The accutuned Fox's are really nice, more than I really wanted to spend on shocks but very nice.

I don't really get the benefit of the anti rocks on the front, not as good on or off road as the stock Rubi bar. Maybe for those wanting to be disconnected outside of 4low.

You’re only 40. Plenty of time to change things up that you want to. I bet you hit 96.

Awesome. I’m of the same mindset. Solid swaybar in front of when on the road. And I’ll make no changes in the rear except for more stability with an HD bar and links.

Agreed. My links give me the ability to disconnect outside of 4wd, but the Antirock requires it.
