Just as the standard Jeep Wrangler's solid front axle provides a huge increase in articulation relative to a 4x4 equipped with independent front suspension, the Rubicon model's sway bar disconnect provides a similar increase in wheel travel over that of a standard Wrangler, without the expense or hassle of using manual sway bar disconnects. It can be quickly disengaged from the driver's seat, and reengaged on the fly for a steep off-camber section of trail, for instance.
The above video shows the difference in realtime, while this thread on JKOwners discusses the difference that a disconnected sway bar makes.
Just a heads-up to check your image links. Great blog; excellent information!
