I don't understand. If you want to simplify things why not just disconnect it...that seems the most simple to me.
Because it would throw multiple warning messages all the time which would probably be extremely annoying.

The warning messages will tell you which modules need to be addressed with programming. It's a matter of eliminating each one by programming that module appropriately.

Yeah, let’s just totally de-engineer everything because we’re bored? Why do you want to get rid of arguably the defining feature of your trim package?? I will never understand human nature. 🤦‍♂️ Sell it and go buy an overpriced POS earlier generation. Second hand 6th gens will all be Frankensteins at this rate.

The remote sway bar disconnect is a non serviceable part. Any issue and it's junk needing a replacement. Would just be nice to program it out of the fault codes.

Yes we must hack up 6g broncos! Need to save the early gen as collector cars!

So I’m a genius for getting a base sas model with minimal tchotchkes foretelling future headaches to come? 🤓🧠👌✌

You are not your trim. A Badlands rig is not a push button sway bar disconnect with an off road vehicle wrapped around it.

The disco is an albatross and not the defining feature of the Badlands (that would be the skid plates and Rock Crawler mode). I want the Antirocks and will need a delete like @Felix808 so I'll be following this thread. Crazy you can't just take it out when it goes out or outlives it's usefulness and you want to go in another direction.

There are reasons I'm glad I have my 23 Badlands Sas but the disco ain't it. It's convenient, sure, but the Antirocks or Carli's are simply a better approach, and even MORE convenient (passive vs. active).

80-90% of all the 6G Broncs are Frankensteined already.

Lets put squatch wheels and tires on my big bend non-squatch.

Lets rip off the fridge magnets.

Lets go balistic with the stickerfab stuff to change my blue interior accents to yellow.

Lets put suqatch take off coilovers on my non-squatch bronc with no front locker so the next guy thinks he has a locker because it has yellow shocks on it.

Lets swap grilles.

Lets swap flares.

and the best one is the I need to upgrade my rack only to find out the first owner did that to be cool but forgot to retain the info for the next owner.

In the end they are all Broncos and those who buy used ones had better be well informed when they start looking.

Mine is mine & I continue to make it more so. It won't be for sale so the secondary market can relax 🤠

Now that the flippers and hipsters have largely moved on the modded second hand examples will be enthusiasts’ bargain delight since mod$ are never recouped and MSRPs keep jumping.

I really doubt that. I'm talking about physically disconnecting the ends and leaving all electronics in place and functional

Oh okay. I thought you meant disconnect the electrical connector.
Either way, he's looking to get rid of it all.
