Did the front. The sway bar bushings are cake but my recommendation for anyone doing the links is to cut the old boot off and vise grip the bolt side while socketing the nut loose. Screw that Allen bolt holding it in place while manually box wrenching it off, you’ll never get enough turns in and is awkwardly spaced. Then when installing new links I used an impact gun (suppose you can do this too when removing nuts) while doing the same thing with the vise grip pliers, just be careful of the new boots. If the bolt side is still free-spinning then you can use the allen with an extention on it to hold in place while putting muscle into the box wrench to get enough "grab." Then torque to spec once you feel it’s on snug enough.

Nothing like a day of mid week camping! Wifey and I hit the road on a whim up to the mountains -- good times for sure! Did a few miles on some terribly rutty roads which (i think) loosened up the windshield cowls (the exterior A pillar trim) and caused some awful wind noise while driving home on the hwy. When i got home, i noticed that the caulking of these trim pieces where it meets the windshield had cracked.. Lame. More things to add to the list to fix!
Gotta have some melted brie while camping of course

It's easy enough to remove, try and replace if you don't like the way she handles.
FWIW I also have heavy duty springs and nothing heavy added yet.

Prepping Myrtle for an hour and a half ride to Northampton for a boys night out with some retired military buddies that moved over here from the states. I crawled around underneath to check for loose parts and check all the fluids. I realized I never changed the transfer case oil since I bought her 2 years ago. Luckily the oil wasn’t too low so I topped it up and I’ll take care of it when I return.
This will be the longest ride I’ll have in my D2 other than a 30 minute drive to pull-a-part when I lived in Georgia. Fingers crossed...
