I have zero experience rock crawling so my comments are to be taken in that light. Also I'm not about to take a $60k vehicle rock crawling.

If one reads the Jeep forums, you'll note that more than a few posters have stated that their Rubicon auto sway bar disconnect tends to stick or fail. These guys say it's actually preferable to have the manual sway bar disconnects. It seems like a pretty easy thing to pull out out the retention pin on the manual disconnect.

I can't image the Bronco not having such an aftermarket option.
Try the bronco off-roadeo moab..... it will change your mind....

I did not think i will do rock crawling either with 50k brand new truck.

But after the roadeo i was realy impress how capable the truck is and how eazy it was... my bronco did not have the sway bar disconnect and you can also do a lot in 4L without the need to activated the locker...

Jeep's is electric and the Bronco's is hydraulic.

Anyone know why you couldn’t buy the sway bar disconnect components from a badlands and install them on another model without it? Without ever comparing them it seems like it would be possible... maybe?

The debate of badlands and wildtrak is interesting. I get the importance of sway bar disconnect and think the badlands system is awesome but for those that REALLY off road the benefits are mute. I've owned a Jeep Rubi, I get the quirks of that system but honestly I realized manual disconnects are just fine. I never had an instance in which I was "mid obstacle" and decided I needed to disconnect, always did at trailhead or before obstacle. If the issue is getting out of vehicle to do it, I always had to get out to air down tires anyways. Honestly this fancy system is for novice wheelers. The rock crawl feature is also cool but all that is needed is low gearing, low range, manual discos, and lockers. You don't need any special throttle calibration or skid steer. All real cool but benefits are minimal even for real wheelers. I'll go for gearing, power and beefy hoss 3.0 suspension over these fancy features.
