I would not go on the highway disconnected, it's like holding on a grenade without the safety pin :twocents:
I guess my question would be why?
To answer your question and end this thread, no there are no ill effects to your rig from running disconnected.
I agree with Jeepinlife safety wasn't the original purpose of this thread of coarse we all know its safer to run with it connected im more concerned if I decided to go on a wheelin trip and decided to disconnect them before I left since I don't have quick disconnects. I don't think anyone would want to sit around while I wrench them off on the trail, so would it cause any negative effects to the jeep running it like that. sorry if I worded it different in my last post
You can disconnect in the time it takes to air down. Doesn't take too long.
