My project 4 Banger

Won't taking off the swaybar negatively affect my on road driving?

 

yes but vastly improve your off road driving ability's/ride/handling. Trade offs is worth it imo.

suck it up n toss it out

 

how negatively does it affect the ride? my buddy was saying to put hooks on it and when i go offroading just disconnect it and link the bar to the hooks so it holds it out of the way

 

honestly i took the sway bar off and i can't tell the difference on the road. You get more wheel travel and I've noticed less body roll.

 

FUCK ME!!!! i had a factory fog kit ran to take the stress off my hid fogs becaue my passenger one wouldnt ignite after receiving a new kit from warranty and i think they gave me a 5k and a 6k bulb so they are different hues ....

the sway bar seems simple enough to remove....

 

You are running the TC midtravel kit... I would definitely remove the sway bar if I was running that kit.

The sway bar is easy to remove... highway driving will be different. But you will get use to it.

 

I am going to take it off right now. do i have to disconnect the piece attached to the lca as well?

also nes, if you decide to sell your 4.10s let me know

 

Yes, remove that piece too. For the time being, I will be holding on to the 4.10s for now...

 

eff doing that with a wrench. i couldnt undo the part connected to the LCA.... ill do it when i have the right tools. i had to reconnect that stupid thing by hand.

 

Hey Shemicals, Good looking truck. I also have a 5-lug that I am pretty much going to do a lot of the same to. It's the 2012. I am hoping that the wheel info that you have posted will work on the 12. I really like the look.

 

Thank you very much! It's always nice to hear that especially after how much work has been put into her. Are you referring to wheel sizes or to shaving the caliper? if i can make a recommendation avoid going with the 33x12.5s unless you have the midtravel and can fully max it out or unless you are willing to put fiberglass and remove your bumper!!! i had some medium rub when i had the RL on with the 33's but now i have no rub

 

Fullsize spare - now im just waiting on my tire rack

 

Yeah, I was thinking about just going with 30-31's to try to avoid to much mod. I am saving your info i=on the wheels though & keeping everything in mind for when it comes time to continue with my build. Holidays make it tuff to spend the $ on the truck. She's coming along though.

 

Yeah 31x10.5r15s or1 16s are perfect for our trucks. I however hail from california where big enough is never big enough.

do you have a build thread?

 

I'm in Canyon Country Cali. Right across the valley from Magic Mountain. My build is 2012 Taco Build

 

Oh fun stuff! are there lots of trails around there? You gotta make a build thread like this one but for your truck

 

dude you prolly got the sharpest lookin 5 lugger i ever seen

 

Well thank you very much its been a slow and steady build and i still have much more to do

**FYI** I added quick links to the first post so you can go to specific mods

 

yea we gotta do somethin, and im in an apartment so im out of the question lol

 

your located 100 miles away from the bay?
