Roll Control Info

Feb 29, 2004 12 Replies

I'm considering buying and installing a roll control device on my '00 TJ. Would like to know of any experiences with this particular accessory and as it will be wired into my custom electrical console I would like to know if the actuator switch is just a ground. Any help and opinions is appreciated.


I am not familiar with any role control accessories for a TJ. However, you could easily improve roll / cornering characteristics by changing to Poly sway-bar bushings on the existing front and rear anti-sway bars and possibly change over to some firmer shocks.

Put in a hand throttle and learn to drive with it. That leaves one foot for the brake, one for the clutch, and one hand on the gas/shift. Cost ~ $35 for the RE kit or a whole lot less if you put it together from bike parts.

Those devices are usually reserved for (dragsters) and Jeeps without e-brakes (because of lift and cable lengths) like mine. Your TJ should have a perfectly good e-brake. If you are concerned about starting out on a hill, do as jbjeep said and put in a hand throttle. The hand throttle has other invaluable trail uses... a cruise control for the trail that keeps your foot off the gas as you bounce and lunge.

Why? What's wrong with using the hand brake that is already installed?

not to mention cruise control on the freeway for long enough to stretch out your right leg occasionally. =)

Absolutly nothing. That is certainly another option.

I can not remember EVER needing this device. Actually, I remember vividly needing it, but that is when the motor would not run because of the steep angle and the carburator's obstinance.

Get the hand throttle that can be mounted to the shifter, and then you can use one foot on the clutch, one on the gas, and use your shift hand to operate the gas. The hand throttle will set you back less than $10, and it works wonders.
