Terracruzer... It'a a custom buggy. Sorry to be so vague, but I work for the company that builds them and don't want to get accused of pimping product, and I'm not sure of the protocol here. Anyway, just google it. -Sorry

Ok this may be a dumb question but Ive got to ask since I plan on getting a rubicon and lifting it with a 3 inch lift why would you want to do this rotating of the disconnect motor. Is it for more clearence or because of the lift.:confused:

The e-disco motor hangs very low to the ground and is vulnerable to rocks. Rotating it up may give you a bit more clearance.

ok but you dont have to inorder to do a lift kit. Thats good cause it'll be undr warranty anyways so for the first 3 years if it gets hit or broken its jeeps problem to replace

Bump for a cheap clearance fix. This is a great writeup!

i would like to add that all the new jeep bumpers are ugly except for maybe AEV. The new bumpers all hang way too low and clearance becomes an issue and they are ugly hunks of metal. This will fix that. Move the disconnect up and out of the way and make a low profile bumper with a flat skid for the disconnect motor.

I added 2 zip lock freezer bags over mine staggered with zip ties to keep them closed. Why???

Well I noticed that my sway bar disconnect connector is now on the top and not the bottom. Mine happens to be cracked a little (who would have thought a rock could break plastic! ) Which means rain, ice, sand, etc... can not only get in there but "sit" in there now as well. When it was on the bottom it would "auto" drain.

Cracked or not you might want to bag it as well. You don't want water "sitting" in/on the connector and it cost me all of $0.00 Since most jeepers have zip ties and zip lock freezer bags where in my kitchen.

just my .02

What is the actual inches in clearance gained by rotating the motor?

Does this void the swaybar system warranty, or any other warranty?

I believe only the Kilby and Expedition One bumpers work with this rotation mod. Anything else out there?

I plan on a 2" Superlift lift and keeping stock tires for now. Is it worth doin this motor mod?

I took a slightly different approach on this one. I purchased a 10mm bolt that was about 4.5" long, and a 10mm nut. I drilled the nut out so that I could slide it over the non threaded part of the bolt. I then welded the nut to the bolt on one side. I had to turn the head of the bolt down, so I could get the rubber hanger to slide over it.

RE warranty. If there was ever an issue, just keep the original bolt so you can rotate the motor back into the factory location. The clearance gained is pointed out in the second picture.

seeing as how this is such a no brainer... did jeep fix it in the 2008s?

looking at it factory it looks like its begging to get ripped off :(

Not sure I really see the point of this except to maybe keep the wires from being pulled. If I hit something that will rip my motor off I'm not more than a couple inches fron seriously damaging my drag link, track bar, tie rod and then axle. Wouldn't it be easier not to straddle a big rock or something your just plain not going to clear? I guess I can see if your going to drive straight over a big log or something.

Now that I've said it I'm probably going to damage it this weekend.
