You won't miss that swaybar, they're useless. At least on a vehicle that sees any off-road use. Got some frame paintin' to do myself here soon, mine's just as sad o' shape.

and its free, state land, and the local police said its ok to offroad there

dont worry about the sway bar, i drive my runner pretty hard on the highway, other than a bit more lean in the corners, its a non issue.

X2 And what a difference it makes off road, like night and day. Took the rear off awhile ago and just took the front off when I did the lift, don't think I will ever put it back on.
