    People remove their swaybar after replacing the stock coils with something stiffer. Stock coils and no swaybar isn't a good combination.

    I won't pick up the skid material until Monday.

    Everything

    It has more to do with the spring rate of the stock coils versus the spring rate of aftermarket coils. The amount of preload on the strut has a very all effect on coil spring itself.

    Looks like the truck is going back to NTB tomorrow. Truck pulls right. Would've brought it right back but they closed as soon as I stepped out

    Holy hell, the price difference is quite a bit between the Bilstein and the Nitrochargers for Tacos.

    I'm going to share where I got my 5100s, at the time they were the lowest price I could find (that is if you haven't purchased them yet or got them from one of the other taco guys around). This is for the Taco (I think I got the part number correct).

    142wy11_af9136a478decfaa28b17a89f9ec9c86a8a11599.jpg

    I felt the same way when I took mine off. Trust in your truck. It rolls in corners, but it will still hold the road. Experiment a little and you will see. Don't go all iout at once, but gradually increase your speed on familiar turns until you are comfortable.

    The weather was foul, it was flooding everywhere. He turned unto a street and it was flooded but the visibility was poor and he saw it too late. Car will probably be going to the graveyard.

    I went for kolaches yesterday. He sounded so sad when he said he loved his little car :(



    Soooooo....when you don't have many options you turn to the Tacoma bumper selection and try something. Suprisingly it doesn't look too shabby...needs minor modification (very minor meaning drill one more hole to mount to the frame, the other holes lined up lol, needs a little more fab work). BTW I didn't attempt this, but am glad someone did because I either want a tube front bumper or a Al plate one.

    It's on the list...the list is growing longer lol.

    First thing I have to decide is whether to get rid of my wagon and get a *gasP* Lexus lol. The SC430 ran strong and gave no problems. In fact my mom kept it when I bought myself the wagon and it is still going strong.

    I wouldn;t mind having an IS, GS, or SC. I've been secretly test driving the IS a lot lately lol. Drove 4 in the last 3 months...

    Dylan said weigh the wants and needs, pretty much the same thing my mom has been saying for years. There is also debt involved.
    Want: fun to drive, reliable, can be asthetically modified to suit my taste
    Need: to fix the AC in my wagon and it'll be good for another 80K miles since everything else has been done (except for some suspension bushings, but they were done at 100K miles, currently at 134K)
