    This and that
    Do you have stiffer springs in the front and/or larger bump stops? My front is on the heavy side I ended up with some icon tundra bump stops after I pulled my sway bar.

    You should be able to grab the stud and feel how tight or loose it is, or even if it is floppy loose, and for the stud that is mounted to the sway bar, just grab the end link and see how easy/hard it is to move around, or even if it is floppy loose...

    Hint: should be hard to move, the looser one is (all are) the more out they will make noise going over bumps etc...

    I have original bump stops and stiffer ome front coilovers. Endlinks seem tight enough.

    Grab the threaded stud you are pointing to and see if it moves/wiggles freely, then see if the end link/bar going between the threaded studs (one is attached to the sway bar) moves/wiggles easily...
    But yeah, if they fall to the floor like that, they are basically shot, or close to it anyway..

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Well, you spent the money and installed. My question is: why didn't you get the original rebuilt (probably under $400), or buy one from a low mileage wreck ($275 or so)?

    Kicker tweeter upgrade for my Non-JBL stereo. HUGE difference over stock IMO. The stock paper speakers are pretty trash. I may upgrade the door speakers here soon. An awesome $100 stereo mod if you don't plan on going crazy with your Tacoma tunes. Easy and quick install too.

    Good deal. I'll stop worrying about any tiny vibration I may have from suspension lifts. If I'm slowly destroying my driveshaft then it's not the end of the world, new ones are do-able

    I'd be more worried about what is on either end of the vibrating driveshaft... But I am funny that way... lol

    Installed the Cali Raised console molle panels after I saw the screws that came with the radio mounting bracket. Moved the fire extinguisher from the rear of the truck to the front to make it more readily accessibleIMG-2715.jpg .

    i am very interested in this pool noodle idea for the road noise, as it is a bit loud. have seen some people posting about worry about eventually rubbing thru the paint though. is that actually a concern/issue? something to do to prevent it?
