    You can see how I did this in my 'restoration' thread. I ordered all of the parts from Toyota, super easy. I can't recall the threads I looked at.

    Installed Hellwig rear sway bar and went for a 100-mile drive today. It corners like it’s on rails, and it’s definitely one of my favorite mods! :thumbsup: Sway bars in general aren’t ideal for off road articulation but not an issue for my use.

    Hah. HF is a goldmine.

    I once supremely pissed off a superior by telling him I purchased a $2 warranty for a $1 HF rubber mallet (as a joke--he didn't think it was very funny :rofl:).

    I wouldn't be surprised! I did some work in reliability engineering in my last job. It makes sense that they would design them that way--but it really is an eye-opener to see the data as well.

    i had a college professor that worked for a big tech company in the 80s - he said they specifically designed hard drive components to fail right AFTER their warranties expired

    Very easy but took a couple of hours. Put Velcro on the back of the led tape lights & it sticks right to the carpet headliner, easy peezy. Most of the time was spent running the wire from the canopy to the battery. Directions that come w the kit are very straightforward:cheers:

    I heard a few guys with the tow package ran the wire and spliced into the harness for the trailer connections. That's a great idea with the velcro, i have a lot left over because I usually add some to patches so I can stick em on the headliner. Thanks for the info!

    Cosplay, my truck. That's what I call it.
    PreRunner with 37's. Someday it'll be on top of Dana 60's and a crawler box trying to act like a street truck. Cosplay either way.
