My first tacoma and I'm already broke after 3 months...

Discussion in 'New Members' started by tacoma.jpg, Oct 17, 2018.

?

Should I take my sway bar off?

  1. Yes, because my friend's 2nd cousin did it and they told me he says it's fine

  2. No, unless you want to roll your tacoma pulling into a parking spot at Walmart

Results are only viewable after voting.

    Hello world! I just purchased my first tacoma, which also happens to be my first vehicle that wasn't a hand-me-down from a sibling or parents! [​IMG]

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Don’t need no sway bar filling up with gas

    Took my sway bar off soon as I got home from the dealer. Never looked back. If your worried about removing it, you probably should leave it alone. I drive like a grandpa so I didn’t even notice it gone. Welcome to TW!!
