Two questions for TJ pilots

I've got a '99 TJ Sport.

There are two issues I'd like to correct this year:

#1 - My soft top windows are beat. Can anyone recommend aftermarket
windows that zip into the factory top?

#2 - I broke a front sway bar ball end. Since I'm at it, I figure this
is a great time to add disconnects. I don't have any added lift. Can
anyone recommend a sway bar disconnect kit that'll replace the broken
ball end at the same time?

Thanks!
Barry

I can't help you with the top as mine is still good. As for the sway bar
links, I like my Teraflex quick discos. Piece of cake. I see people
struggling with their JKS (and lookalikes) all the time while I just slide
mine right off and back on.

You must be watching people with the old JKS link design:

http://www.jksmfg.com/images/product...connect_1_.jpg

Those must be a true PITA to line up and reconnect. They've long since
(6 years ago?) redesigned them and came up with these:

The Teraflex links are essentially the same, but not adjustable:

Do the Terraflex versions actually replace the ball assembly?

Thanks!
Barry

You pop out the factory links and press in the tera QD's by tightening
the nut. Take a quick look at the pic, it's fairly evident. The only
downside to them is that the cotter pins get in the way and the bullet
shaped mounting points are hard to tighten.

I ended up using thread locker to get the mounting points to stay.

You're right -- I must be looking at the older ones.

I isn't for me, and I'm 1800 miles from the Jeep. <G>

Does both the ball end and socket end up replaced? One side is broken
on my ride.

Thanks!
Barry

Yes, both the JKS and Tera links replace everything.
