Too bad about the Deeza's.

I caught my AP's just in time. I painted them with Krylon Industrial Rust paint, then sprayed them with Rust Check. No more problems.

 

Was there a reason you guys switched from the stock end links? The sway bar really that big of a weak link?

 

^I busted mine when I installed my lift in 2011 (the boot split and leaked grease). The dealer wanted $200+ per link. I saw it as an excuse to upgrade

 

Fair enough. Didnt read to much on sway bar issues, so was interested to see what I missed. Glad to hear I'm caught up. I spend to much time on here apparently.

 

Some Canadian Tire stores still have a few KingCord-brand kinetic ropes on clearance. I picked up the 7/8"x20' one (25,000 lb breaking strength) for $39: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/kinetic-tow-ropes-0618698p.html
(Depending on the store selected, the menu may show only the 1/2" one and not the 7/8" one. SKU# you want is 061-8699-4.)

 

Nice. I got these from princess auto.

Got then on sale. Will upgrade one day to something better.

 

looks like you guys had a blast! I'll make the next one.

 

Not yet, the few trails I do are to reach some hunting or fishing spots, I am a lot more into Atv's. But spending my time on Tw makes me want to try a few trails!

 

I switched because:

a) I trashed one seal when installing the lift
b) The heavier end links eliminated understeer when towing heavy loads (nose ploughing on downhill turns)

 

... and they are on sale now as well.

 

Nice. Either way getting out is better than a day at the office.

Great information. Thanks!

I think I got mine for even cheaper lol. Got to love princess auto.

 

I found these... They look similar

Just noticed I'm getting a strong pulsing when braking
I've replaced both rotors, pads and one caliper. I think I may need to replace the other one...

 

Uh so I am at work, but can only think about 4L with rear diff locked snow wheeling. ARGH! The fun of it all

 

Thanks for all the gopro footage! Love seeing my rig out and about

 

It's the correct P/N. However, most places either show out of stock, or they'll show in-stock but send you the "light-duty" one: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/deeza-heavy-duty-greaseable-sway-bar-links.246179/#post-8295755

 

Good to know... I was going to order some.

 

Next one may include camping....

Maybe snow stuck in your stuff still lol. But in all seriousness that sucks.

There will be another one soon enough lol.

 

Forgot to take a picture of my "bear paws" but they are the same as those

It works pretty good but just for a few inches...

Did someone gave a try to the flexible one that are available at princess auto? I may be interested to get myself a pair...

 

Nice. I'm currently running the maxatrax which my gf got off Amazon.

Pricey, but the gf spoiled me. They were in my wish list for some time on Amazon as I was hoping the price would go down. Seems the smittybilt treads are just as inexpensive as well.

I was thinking of running those flexible ones as well, but for the price I figured I could get some old snow mobile trax cheper. The ones from princess auto don't seem like they would have enough grip as well. After seeing my traction boards not work and the tires just spinning on them I'm not sure. I don't know much on the subject though. Best part about princess auto is you can return them worst case.
