I *think* - don't quote me on this - that if you alter your car's suspension, you're technically supposed to register your car as a "radically altered vehicle" because it's altering the way the car handles in an emergency.
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration ... d-vehicles
To be honest, almost every vehicle owned by an SCUK member should be put though that test. But the reality is that the DVLA operate a "don't ask, don't tell" policy on such things - they'll do you if you take the mick (a tube buggy made out of an SJ chassis is going to raise eyebrows cruising on the roads).
But minor mods - they don't really want the paperwork. Can you blame them?

Re: Anti roll bars?
Some SJs don't have them anyway. Plus, SJs are that old now that most people don't know anything about them.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
