First run of the season
I decided that i didn't want to spend my afternoon sitting around the house watching TV. so i took the 4Runner out for some fun. it ran like a champ as always. BTW, the wheels are holding up nicely. no chips as of yet and i thought this would be a good time to test them. again, no issues

















also, something bad of course had to happen. when i was going over the rocky area, i heard a nice loud pop from the front end. my left sway bar link gave way so time to order some new ones. when i replaced the links on my 91 Pickup, i got some Energy Susp. links with poly bushings for $25. it doesn't look like they make any for the 3rd gen. any suggestions?

Awesome pics bro, sorry to hear that your sway bar endlinks had to go. You can try this website...

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...FQdHagodFyyawg

I know the Energy Suspension website itself is pretty difficult to navigate so hopefully the link above will be much better.
For the sway bar bushings, you can probably get that off of www.wheelersoffroad.com but the end links and the bushings can be probably be found at the website above. Hope this helps.

Yes, www.wabfab.org has some quick disco endlinks that are MUCH beefier than the stock versions. Comparitively, the stocks look like popsicle sticks. They are cheaper, too. I had them on my 98 4Runner, and loved them. Plus, you can disconnect them when you go wheeling.
