You'll notice the sway bar isn't there if you have to change lanes real fast at 60-70 mph because some DB cuts you off! I have no sways and I get about 1" more travel in the front. Not enough to make a huge difference, but I'll take what I can get.

That way you can enjoy the ride home, or just out and about? It's not dedicated 100% of the time?


PS, and yes I know the optimum way would be to have in-cab remote disconnects, but so far I've never seen one made for a Yota.
Mine isn't my DD, but I agree, I would do discos if it was. I only live 10 minutes from the trails also so I end up going wheeling spontaneously a lot too so messing with having to take those things on and off would be more hassle than it's worth for me. I just leave the sways off and throw the front back on when I want to go on a road trip or camping long distance. The rear is always off because I don't feel a big difference with or w/o it (once the front is on).

Oh and btw.. Flex won't help you get any further down the trail. Gears, lockers, and good driving will

Yeaa..Open Diffs arnt that great for wheelin haha..i figured I'd either weld my rear, or throw a detroit in the back..If I weld my rear , I will go through tires faster correct?

Pismo

I've never seen IFS flex like that , that was pretty sickk..

My front shocks, hardly move at all..I was bouncing up and down on my front bumper, nothin. my rear shocks move alot..
I was thinking about getting some Rancho 5000's what do you guys thinkk.
Are they good shocks?

I saw some 3in body lifts for pretty cheap. But also I've heard 4Runners are Notorious for rolling

I'm going to change out my ADD hubs pretty soon. You guys know any good threads or links, kind of as a Tutorial,

Thanks,
Josh

Lol, I got stock ones on right now, they suck haha and they look like crap.

I have a little butt sagg in the Rear, like most other 4Runners. ( I swear its like a bad gene with the runners) but what could i do to fix that,
Could i through on like a 1.5 inch coil spacer, or got any other Ideas?

thanks
Josh

Has anyone tried taking the stock muffler off and just having the tail pipe put on after the cat on a 3.0?

For like a cheap mod, lol..I'm thinking about that now, then once my truck gets fixed Im thinking of putting a Flowmaster 40 on it...a Magnaflow ( not sure which one ) or a Cherry bomb muffler. Any Ideas?

Okay , will check it out

Right now my Clutch lets out pretty tall, theres plenty of fluid, and it doesnt feel like it grabs very hard, Do you think an adjustment would help for awhile so I can save up some CA$H, or will it need replacing soon?
