Does the Sahara have the disconnecting sway bar?

I bought a new one in 2013. I have the 4 door Sahara. The rubicon is mainly for off-roading. I wouldn't want to commute in it at all. I drive mine daily and love it. I chose the Sahara over the sport because I wanted power locks and windows and when adding those 2 things to the sport it was almost same price at the Sahara.

I tend to agree somewhat with others that say there are problems with them. This is my 3rd new jeep. All have had there own issues.

My current 13 has 53k miles. In last 6 months I have had to replace the drivers door lock auctator not expensive but still it went bad. Just a month ago I had to put a new rear end in it at 52k that was covered under warranty.

I' love mine and probably will not ever drive anything else. You either like them or hate them.

No it doesn't. The other negatives for the rubicon on road are the lower gearing and heavier front axel. If you like the rubicon for the appearance, look at the willys package. It's got the rubicon wheels and suspension but I believe you can get it without the low gearing and heavy front axel. It's a really nice looking jeep and will do all you need for off-roading around here. Keep in mind most of the rubicon off-road upgrades are really only useful for rock climbing excursions. Not many people around here are going to be doing that and I'd have a hard time going rock climbing in a brand new 45k vehicle anyway.
