All the details on how they're installed and how they work. Apex Performance Products's KWIKLYNX are finally here! Extensive engineering makes these incredibly durable and reliable. It only takes seconds to free up the sway bar for better articulation off road, and an equal amount of time to secure it for safe highway driving.

Wow, they've come a LONG way from the early prototype they teased before. All the extra complications were evidence for thorough testing and engineering. This is a difficult product to design. Respect to them for finishing this project!

Those are big money and quite an interesting install for sure. I'm gonna wait to get them and see how your long-term video goes and get some other upgrades in the meantime, but if they hold up over time, they seem like they will be a worthy investment. It definitetly seems like an improvement over the other disconnects you featured a while back.

Looks like an awesome product. If this was around a year ago i would've tried it. I cut off my front sway bar and have been happy without it. I just wont let anyone drive my 4runner for their safety. I drive a semi for a living so the extra body roll doesn't bother me

I am pretty amped for this. Been running no front sway bar for over a year and have gotten over most issues with crafty spring, bump stop, driving, and shock tuning, but wife still has a hard time driving it. I'm sure answers will come in time, but I am wondering if these can be used with icon resevior Mounts, any spindle gusseting, and run without the air piston for those of us that can't weld.

Another great Toyota video! I never tried any of the other quick disconnects because they looked so janky. These look like they are going to function properly and last for a while. I’ll have to figure out something for my sway bar relocation adapter because it holds my shot reservoir. How far forward do have to move it? Again great video, thanks! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

It moves about as far forward as a standard relocation bracket BUT, to keep the proper geometry for the air cylinder the swaybar can't be lower than stock.

I’ve been waiting a long time for these. Kinda disappointed how involved the install is. Wasn’t expecting all the cutting and welding just for disconnects. And I’m a bit worried how much this is gonna cost for parts and after install. The old style sliders have issues, but price and simplicity might outweigh these. I guess we’ll see.

Good video. Be careful with your 4Runner with the spindle gussets. Recently someone welded on those and his spindle snapped in half and he was stranded. Wasn't even off roading hard either. I guess welding on the cast iron compromises the strength of them. So added gussets does more harm than good.

I just received my set of these from APEX. Man, they look SOLID. I am curious what one would do in the unfortunate but very real scenario of busting a CV and having to change trailside with these quick links installed. It looks like the best thing would be to simply take it off the ball joint threads so the spindle can move enough out of the way to get the CV out. Hard to tell without the real deal in front of me. What do you think? Thanks!
@WanderlostOverland
@WanderlostOverland 4 ай бұрын
When removing the CV axle we typically disconnect the spindle (knuckle) at the bottom and swing the entire assembly up and rearward.

Question, what uca's are those? Asking because I just received my KWIKLYNX for my 3rd gen tacoma. Unfortunately I may have to swap out my UCAs, which I love (Icon Delta Joint) because the ball joint thread, which the KWIKLYNX connect to, have an M14 X 2.0 thread and the KWIKLYNX require an M14 X 1.5. So what uca are you using and pros/cons? Also, suggestions on how to resolve this if i want to keep my UCAs (does Apex offer an alternative?)?

I'm very interested in this, but I need to know if this will work for a 2nd Gen Tacoma or not. Apex Performance does not seem to be answering their phones nor returning calls. If you can reach out and confirm that would be helpful for many people. Otherwise, not a great intro so far to their company.

@@WanderlostOverland I'm an engineer. I am also incredulous that there weren't cheaper and easier, albeit less flashy, ways to accomplish the same result. Those clamps are clever, for example - why didn't they use the clamps and end links as a substitute for the other kit that you ran for a while? Why the need for welding to heat treated frame rail to mount tensioning air pistons on heavily modified sway bars? Hell, if you're modifyind the sway bars and the frame, why not just cut the sway bar entirely and use an electro-mechanical clutch interface akin to what Jeep does?

I don't know these seem just a bit overly complicated design, quite a bit of work just seems overly complicated just seems like to me overly designed none simplistic, and that riveting sway bar back on doesn't seem very secure, and the price $750 and you have to buy a tool special rivet gun and then you have to weld, I don't know it just seems overly over, I say hey ditch the sway bar I believe it rides just good enough on the road and you'll be happy off road so much better!!!!! There's got to be a simpler design out there and maybe something for like say 500 dollars for a base model install.
