Tacomas are leaf sprung in the rear which do not require the lateral stability/tracking mechanism that a coil sprung vehicle (like a 4runner) does require.

Basically, Tacomas don't have links.

No, they don't!!!!

Some leaf sprung vehicles have panhards, and some companies sell panhards for lifted rigs w/ leaves. True it's not needed, but it still does help will lateral movement. Leaves just are not as affected as much as linked suspension. With a good engineered panhard, it won't hinder articulation and will help w/ stability.

*sigh*

Yes, and men have nipples, but they don't really serve a purpose like they do on women.

Perhaps you just feel like arguing, but they guy was not talking about specialized build outs, he was talking about his rig. And, in the simplest terms, he doesn't need a panhard because his leaves are fulfilling the same purpose.

I have to ask... By your username, "dfoxengr" and the fact that your signature links to and I assume you are involved with, a company that sells suspension components, isn't this kind of an odd question?

Just wondering...

I give u credit for knowing some stuff since u have a solid Tacoma,

SIGH,
But this ur making ur self sound clueless.

Yes, he doesn't need one. I was just refering to the FACT that leaves don't do they same thing as a Panhard. Not trying to argue, just stoping the disinformation u r putting out. I was not talking about his rig, but what u said.

Oh, and I guess STOCK YJ Jeeps are specialized build outs because they have a panhard with leaves.

And if u want to really get technical w/ your joke, Yes MEN can use their nipples and produce milk w/ enough stimulation.

Yeah, my buddy used to squirt stuff out of his nipples. It was weird... it wasn't milk, but, I've heard that too.

Yep, that's me, clueless... hahahhahahah

We aren't talking about Jeeps or anything but this guys rig. That is the topic of the thread.

From the first post

96 tacoma and no panhard?
looked under my truck briefly today after wheeling and i noticed it doesnt look like i have one...?
That seems pretty cut and dry. I don't see that he asked about Jeeps, custom builds or aything else. He seems to be asking about why his rig doesn't have one. The answer is, because he's leaf sprung and doesn't need one.

Maybe I need a shopping list of bolt on accessories in my signature to better see where you are coming from with the off topic examples...

The panhard added to the leaves on a YJ is likely to overcome some other engineering flaw - it IS a JEEP afterall...
