I think it’s misstated when the term “unlocked” is used with the SL, it’s never unlocked, unleashed is a better description.

I'd agree. You are at a higher rate or a lower rate but NEVER unlocked and no sway control at all.
Maybe I missed something here , but not too long ago, y’all were anti rock fans ! Now y’all are talking swayloc.
can ya tell me why?

I have a SwayLOC with the inner bar that has splines the same diameter as the bar.
I’ll bet you do, was that version 1?

Well since you are the one who designed it I'm sure you have a lot of stuff that the rest of us don't.
Like having the factory bar on street, flip a switch, unlocked.
Like having no bar off road.
You should see his shop.
He showed me some 1 offs he's toying with, or things he's created he's NOT sharing w the rest of us...
That makes no sense whatsoever. Coming up with the concept has nothing to do with other things I may or may not have.
I had a build thread, no one gave a shit enough to discuss what I was doing so fuck it.
Some of us did. I was really interested to see else you did and how and why.
I was able to see that one on @taylormade73 ’s rig, it was interesting to inspect the differences - though it seemed to be pretty much functionally identical. Were there any substantial changes between the two in the torsion rate or other hard to see things? The main things I saw were the splined torsion bars and the heims having the bolts integrated in the joint like the AR, and color.
I read it.
I was in awe.
I'm also still pretty freaking ignorant and don't always know the awesomeness in front of me.
I know I have much to learn, and, I hope and pray you still have much to share!
I ❤ you @mrblaine
You just aren't paying attention. It's been the in thing now for a while.
The thread managed to accumulate 2 pages of discussion in 2 years. Chris put up a post about dusty seats that went 4 pages in less than 48 hours. That told me exactly what interests folks and what doesn't and that is nothing against Chris whatsoever. He had exactly zero to do with it other than starting a thread. It isn't a slam of the folks on here either. It is just an observation of what interests folks and what doesn't.
I also have various methods of seeing who is paying attention to what and why. In most of the things that I put up pics and explained, in the back ground would be a very relevant item of interest for another aspect of the build put there to inspire and further discussion. Or, Easter eggs to see who was paying attention. Not a single one was ever noted. That told me what was important and I'm not mad or bothered about it, it is just a fact of life that I fully get.
That build is my personal rig and I'm doing things that over the years I have deemed necessary to be a product that for various reasons will never make it to fruition due to expense, limited market, just too far out there or whatever. Basically just not mainstream enough so I'll do them for myself because I've always thought they should exist. The key point is that it is stuff I am doing for myself and not for public validation.
The smaller bar sheared off the splines at the end of the threaded hole. Splines are a giant pain in the ass since they are expensive, they need to be timed at the bars and each arm. Due to the combined nature of the one on the left side, that means timing is critical and very hard to do.
The outer bar was increased in diameter which for a reasonable change in wall thickness still delivers a higher rate. That was done to get an inner bar with larger than bar size or upset ends to be able to "spline" without danger of shearing off the splines and still deliver a tolerable rate for offroad.
Does the inner bar contribute much when the outer is engaged or is it neglible?
