    cant wait for my kids to be out of car seats and boosters. get my storage back, and less random surprises, for some reason the "daddy adventure truck" is cooler then my wife's "mommy bus" per my kids.

    Same, or at least it was until the wife got a mini van with a DVD player for them lol. Now if its more than just a trip to town the van wins out lol

    Thanks, Yeah you can just see a piece of the ram arm that my radio is in on that right pic. I don't ever use the radio except for road trips with friends. Only reason I have it in there is I am testing out a cradle I printed for it. I mount my phone in a ram mount off the grab handle.

    We have a pilot for the family car too. What sucks is I want to take the family places the pilot can't go. It's odd but the pilot had more room for the kids in the third row than the 4runner. She didn't want anything bigger so the sequoia was out.

    Personally, I don't think so. I had an LT 1st gen Taco and took off the sway bar after listening to the forum. It was dangerous and did not handle or wheel better in any way. I put it back on and that thing handled like it was on rails with long travel and controlled sway.

    I still have my sway bar, but I also regularly haul heavy things in the bed of my truck and enjoy a controlled front end. I also don't do a lot of off-roading where I need flex, almost all of my driving (98%) is on road, and what little off I find, it's just fire roads or well worn trails. For me, taking off my sway bar is not worth the change in driving stability in cornering/heavy rear end.

    I took mine off a few weeks ago and love it. I haven't pulled my trailer with landscape equipment yet, but I don't go far or fast towing. I have noticed things tend to slide a little more in the cab now. Give it a shot and if you don't like it put it back on
