    I removed my sway bar quite some time ago and have had no issues even with my bumpers, sliders, skids and the usual stuff I have in the bed. My suspension setup is similar to yours as well.

    I have done a few things lately that I need to post. Latest was my new smoked LED tail light housings with my 7 watt CREE reverse lights. I had to laugh at the warning on the package that said "Do not stare directly into the light at distances closer than 5 meters. Eye injury may occur."

    Here is a pic of the left side lens. This picture is from this past weekend at The Slab in Montevallo, Alabama. For reference Justin is 6'6" tall. He is not pushing up on the bumper, just holding his hand to it for reference of how off camber I was.

    The first ones I bought were 1156 type bulbs, which won't fit in my year model Tacoma. Luckily I caught it before they shipped out.

    was driveing along and all of a sudden power steering started getting stiffer, then battery light came on , power steering got better but light still on. Got home popped hood and checked belts and their loose. Looked it over and saw that the harmonic balancer was loose, tried to tighten down. Got in and started up and still running fine but bolt came lose again. Removed balancer and inspected shaft and noticed the woodruff key was missing. Looked closer and noticed it was sheared off almost even with timing gear. So i get to pull it off and replace the pin and thank the heavens that it looks like theirs no damage to balancer or shaft. looks anyway. Wish me luck in putting it back together.

    Wait, what? i thought 1156 WAS the right type for 2001-04 tacomas?

    And 921's were for 96-2000?

    Damnit. This is why i don't order things while at work.

    No problem.

    Glad you'll be able to use them in 2017 when your truck is finally back together.
