Hey guys....sorry I missed some convo. Funny how this seems like our own private topic, cool though.
You would think (and it totally makes sense) that the removal of the sway-bar would free-up and essentially liberate each wheel from influence from the other wheel. In theory...but only in application would one really know the actual results. Sounds like your on the right track with making it removable Don....keep up posted!!! (inquiring minds want to know!).
Mike, I spent some time with a buddy of mine who is insanely into 4x4ing. According to him it is not an established fact that SFA is completely superior to IFS...it's definitely a debate and argued issue. The one point I do see is that when one wheel goes up, the other is pushed down...and that would reasonably make sense to offer some benefits. I wonder why it is that Hummer chose the IFS then...no doubt it cost more?
A front-locker is definitely on the list of "must-haves", that should truly make the H2 quite unstoppable. Wish they had made it with one!!
Mike...when I was very serious about buying a Grand Chickedee, I was looking at the 2001 and wanting to lift it a bit and add larger tires. The salesman "looked into it" and came back telling me that the quadra-drive can not be lifted...it was some kind of special 4x4 system and not like the previous 4x4's. Now I find out different...just goes to show ya how you should get a 2nd opinion before taking anyones word for much of anything. Hmmm...might want to get a 2nd opinion on that opinion too! hehehe.
My sides are all scratched up...that darn clear coat scrapes to a white color, and I don't want to buff repeatedly down to my paint...so I'm wondering what to do. I might have gotten a white H2 had I realized this was coming. weep weep weep.
