    Welp, that didn't take long. The clutch is on its way out. Trying to get on the highway I grabbed 3rd, pushed on the go juice pedal, and the rpms came up and up and up while the speedometer barely moved. Backed off the happy pedal a bit and it finally grabbed and the rpms came back down.

    For this event I just installed an SRunner front sway bar in the truck which helped quite a bit. Although the Addco is slightly larger at 28.5mm vs 27mm on there now. Stock was 25mm on my regular cab 4 cylinder, so I can imagine there would be a notable difference. Addco does offer the rear 22mm as well.

    Also have the SRunner rear I can install still, but wondering how it may affect the handling. Guess there's only one way to find out.

    Co-worker with the dolphin I checked out a couple months ago approached me yesterday. He goes "so when are you coming to get it? My wife wants it gone." I asked if his stuff was out of it and he kinda paused then went "shit... I knew I forgot something." :rofl:

    I saw some wood furniture and stuff through the windows, never went inside it. He was pretty adamant he wanted his stuff though. And honestly with how much that thing probably weighs fully loaded with crap? I want it out of there too! :rofl:

    The rear brakes are frozen so it'll be coming out of there on a trailer or rollback maybe.

    Yup they're still stock. I'm thinking about going with Feal Suspension coilovers but not sure yet.

    Got those on my truck, I'm roughly 5 inches down in the front and it's a bit stiff, but they're nice!

    Mine is currently on 4x4 leaf pack and 5 inch blocks in the rear. It's got the DJM c-notch but it isn't enough, it bottoms out on the low profile bump stops pretty bad. I bought the truck this way, and plan on 4-linking it eventually.

    I love my lifted off-road toy on big meats but dang if I don't gawk at a nice X-Runner when I see them.

    Tacoma has really good lines, looks good wether they are up or down.

    I got a friend with 4x4 leafs so I'll probably just get them from him and try it. I wish I could slam the truck to the earth but it is my daily and only ride right now as I just sold my "slammed" car the other day. So im kinda already missing the low life
