    Pros: Less Shit under there, Better offroad articulation out of that IFS front end.
    Cons: More body roll and "slop" in controls on road.

    I wasn't convinced that I wanted to take mine off permanently...so I tried it...and I'm digging it.

    more of a pro than a con on road. Never know when you'll need to make a quick turn.Off road, it will let each wheel move individualy with out being affected by the other since the sway bar connects them 2gether

    Nope...Some guys were talking about trying to make some. I don't think there is enuf room under there to set the sway bar "away." An auto disconnect in the middle would work but IDK if there are any on the market for the Taco.

    I don't haul ass anywhere- so I don't worry about flipping my truck over. If you keep in mind that you will roll a little more...You'll be fine.

    im guessing that you could just unscrew the top portion...granted its not "quick" but its alot faster than having the stock connect

    If you're planning to stay on road majority of the time with just a little bit of offroading then I suggest keeping it on. The body roll will bug you. I took mine off on my XJ and even though the suspension articulation was deeply improved the day to day driving suffered considerably. It might be different on an IFS setup of course.

    mines off and never going back on. i do have billys at 1.75" lift so it helped gushion them up. IMO i like the feeling with out them on the street also. plus going over speed bumps with just one side of your truck hitting them u can barely notice the bumb at all.

    I've experimented with mine both on and off. With it off, the truck rides much smoother, especially hitting speed bumps and on gravel roads and trails. I do get considerably more body roll under quick cornering and if you yank the steering wheel back and forth like an emergency maneuver, then you really notice it not there. Overall though, I think for the way I use my truck theres more pro than con for me. I would love to see someone do a quick disconnect for the sway bar though, that would be awesome.

    I saw something like i'd never seen before in a recent issue of Offroad magazine.... THIS sounds like an awesome new product to me! If ORE makes one of these to fit the Tacoma, I'll be all over it!
