    Cory and Brandon: 1st off they don't make quick disconnects for second gen taco as because if you disconnect it from the suspension it would fold forward and stick out in front, obviously not good! (To take a look at it and you'll see what I mean if that doesn't make sense). 2nd, I wouldn't recommend loosing it with stock suspension because you definitely will gain body role in tight turns/high speed. However, I've had mine off now for about 6 months and have absolutely no intention of putting it back on. When I ran the block lift in the rear and 5100's up front I noticed extra role but I was ok with it, now that I've upgraded and stiffened my rear I see no difference between mine with upgraded suspension and no sway compared to a stock truck with sway. So, if you're upgrading the suspension and want more articulation go ahead and loose it. Also though, keep in mind that in Va, inspections are required and a sway bar is something they look for so if don't have "a way around it" you'll have to put the bar back on each year in order to pass, it's not hard but a little annoying.

    Thanks man. They are sick and it took a little dremeling but other than that the switch went in pretty easy but the wiring was kind of a pain.

    Shout out and big thanks to Brandon for the help. Hope you got your halos and lights all working

    The issue isn't making a disconnect it's that when you swing the bar "outa the way" it's then actually in the way cuz it sticks out. You'd have to make a way to not only disconnect it from the suspension but actually take it all the way off the truck, kinda not worth it then, just take it off ya know.

    A question for anyone who could answer but may be a dumb question would icon coils work with billies?

    What a disaster. Drained and filled my ATF today and a bolt sheared off and 2 of them cross threaded. Fucking automatics...

    Brandon: you WILL have a good time!!

    Frank: I would suggest asking a true professional but I believe they do sense the outer diameter of the coils should be the same, they've just changed the spring rate with more coils and all...

    Taylor: sounds like you gotta do some drilling and hela-coils now huh?

    badass indeed. we were shooting old tanks and deer kept walking out, which surprised me. we had to take like 10 minute breaks, but each of us got to put 14 rounds down range. on the 8th we get to go out to a range with modified M4's. life is great in an EOD unit.

    on the switch you installed, when it's lit up green the light is off? then when the light is on it's lit up amber & green, correct? I'm about to order one to replace my fog light switch. Might go ahead and order some for future plans as well. You bought it from http://www.otrattw.com/?

    edit:I just spent the last hour looking into how to wire up the Otrattw switch to the fog lights and didn't find anything except how to get the switch in that spot. Is it hard to get that switch to work for fog lights?

    Here's a diagram for the OEM switch, should be able to figure it out from this:
    uzy4e7a3_b9d178349ac7358f2819e891dc6c00da65b33151.jpg

    You'll just need to add a separate ground and 12V for the lower LeD in the otrattw switch

    The 50 cal is an awesome gun and it would be so awesome to shoot it and tht is ridiculous M4s are sick. Damn man you got it good. Getting to drive a nice taco and shoot badass guns.

    Yea it's green when it's off and amber and green when it's on. I'm sure it'd be fine to wire up the fog lights but you may need to add a ground and 12v source so the light will come on. It's pretty easy unless you have Alzheimer's like me as Brandon found out. They have lot of different color combos so it's pretty sick.
