Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Alright, so that just happened.
Have I mentioned I give in easily to peer pressure?

 

So any clever ideas on what to do with a perfectly good hunk of steel?

 

Idk? put it up on the shelf I just built for lost memories.
Right next to the 4" oval step bars.



1st I need to go get a DD coffee and take it for a spin.

 

How did I miss this post?
Brilliant!

Make knifes

 

go clubbing

 

You all know the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? I have the Pile of OEM Upgrades out back of the garage. Might make a sculpture one of these days...

 

I like the way you think.

 

I can’t think of a better idea!

 

I don't mind the swaybar gone.
Took my 10min commute to work route a couple times to go over familiar terrain.
I get the looseness on quick turns but I like the independence of both sides. Hitting a manhole on one side doesn't jostle the entire front end.
Picked up 300#'s of sand from John Menard (It's John when you're in E.C.) for the back.
Rides pretty smooth if ya ask me.

 

Sway bar delete? May wanna rethink that move. FWD to 5:30 for the pertinent part.

That's not good.
My coworkers 4runner has about a 3" lift. By the looks of his cv angles, there's already enough added stress. Especially if wheeling hard.
I haven't put the stock scuff plates back on yet.
My links were shot anyhow. Have replacements on hand if I put it back in.

we took them off my brothers truck he’s trading on a GRC. They are due for a fresh coat of paint but otherwise no issues and have all the hardware.

$500

 

Not a bad price and it includes shipping.

I have the Dobinsons 110's on mine currently since I run light.
A good number of us have Dobinsons suspension and really like it.
Check out this thread if you have any questions. Crikey Mike from Exit Offroad is super helpful.

To @Stoney Ranger point if you are going to use all the travel off road especially with extended travel struts, CV axels that allow a larger range of articulation are needed.

That 'IS' a great deal.
If they have some pitch to them, I would consider.
They look like a 0 deg?
I'd rather not have anything stick out more than necessary.

 

They are zero. They don’t stick out too far, I think I’ve got a picture somewhere.
