one of those "noise" questions...thanks :)
Ok, so if I am at full steering stop either right or left, and go over even the slightest bump so the truck ('88 runner, stock suspension) cycles the suspension even just a little bit, I hear a loud popping type noise. I have manual hubs, which are disengaged. The noise never happens, even over large bumps, when going straight. I am hoping its not anything to do with the t bars, i was thinking either cv shafts or ball joints.
Any thoughts?

This is the infamous steering stop noise. Do a search and you will find plenty of info on it, or get under the front of your truck and dab a little grease on the stops every once in a while. That will help.
They originally had a nylon piece that would prevent the noise, but these pieces wear out fast.

you would think that since there's such a huge issue with this, someone out there would develope a permanent fix for this, like maybe little metal rollers to put in place of the stops or something...

No need: If you grease them every few months (I do it when changing my oil) they will never make a noise.
But in regaurds to the original question. Since it makes a noise when going straight we can rule out steering stop noise. Check your wheel bearings and your idler arm. They both can make pretty bad noises when they are worn.
