    Old I'm keeping, This one will go up for sale. Need to add a few things like the tow points and smooth out the welds . Neither so far are built for winches, This current one can be still be changed to fit a smaller winch.

    I'd be curious to see the internals of the differential and if the slight angle change would actually hurt oil consumption.

    Too much to list!
    We need a sarcasm font. I just use John Madden's voice, it seems to work. Maybe we can use ~ on either end?

    "I just painted my lights black but did the bowls too running halogens"

    ~That's going to work fantastically well!~

    People do stuff, order stuff for the FOMO. I see it all the time and shake my head or go full facepalm.

    Edit: FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out.

    I just found it strange that the logo used Katakana. As I read more on Kiichiro Toyota, he was far more spiritual than conventional, so it make sense the decisions that were made.

    I actually did this yesterday, but want to burn down PhotoBucket now. Moving on to another source.

    ANYWAY, while this was very straight forward, Toyota did make this about 200 times more difficult then it needed to be! Also, a MINOR redesign of the sway bar and you could probably disconnect the link and swing the bar out of the way. There is PLENTY of space up front to secure the bar and links, if you could just get it past the strut!! ARGH

    Drove it today without the sway bar and did not notice anything different. Going to hit the trails tomorrow and am looking forward to how she does without the sway bar.

    I'll give everyone about 10 seconds to figure out how many miles my truck has. I doubt you'll even need that much, but hey it's Friday so I'll be generous haha

    Not quite there yet. I went with all Denso. Here's some good info for spark plug change.
