    Hey guys, I noticed there are a few of your builds where you removed your sway bars. How does the ride feel on the highway? What are the benefits of removing?

    Remove the front one, leave the rear on. Sway is definitely increased on the highway, but very manageable. Removing the sway bar offers a smoother ride and allows access to all of your travel

    Should have bought a stock one then. You're demolishing an already built pre running rig.

    AH! The travel... The wife drives the 4runner more than I do so I guess I'll keep it. She just wants to get out on the trails, not the rocks.

    This thing was for sale a few months back. Looks super clean though.
    Relentless DIY?
    I think it'd be pretty badass to be one of the very first to be running ray10s. Color?

    Relentless DIY yes. The wait times are ridiculous so I would get someone to weld it up.

    Matte gunmetal grey or dark bronze.

    What is your guys' opinion on black hoods? I have a white hood that I plan on painting black since mine's messed up.

    I dipped the entire hood on my tacoma. Wasn't a huge fan. Wish I had just done the middle, or a strip.

    I just lifted the rear! You couldn't even wheel with any weight in it on the old springs. It's still great to go fast in. Haven't done anything to make it worse
    I'll still fly around! And I am getting a dual swing

    Your bumper idea will ruin it. Springs were fine you just don't know how to adjust your bumps.

    No. I checked the bumps out. they were as low as they go. Expos are more fun ;)

    I got this rig as a camping rig. Would have bought a stock one but this was the same price as those so I thought why not! haha
