I would like to say that Allen is the man for bringing out his sweet super clean black TRD Pro. I know that I drooled over it a little. Very nice rig and it was nice to meet you and the wife. Hopefully we can all get together again this spring or sooner!

How does it drive on road with the sway bar disconnected? Any issues?

It felt great, I mean i noticed a little more sway but nothing major.I've had the front off for a while now so i'm kind of used to it. I think down the road once i get a rear bumper i with upgrade to the heavy springs and maybe the 2.5 rear shocks then i'm sure it'll be even better with the handling and the sway..

LOL thanks man. It'll be even better come spring/summer. I'm sure you felt the difference. It's a great thing having a capable rig. Can't wait to get back together again and catch up with some wheeling.

I drove 6+ hours home from Rausch Creek with mine disconnected because my sway bar disconnects were being a pain to reinstall. I had it off for about a month before I got my links back on. You can definitely get away with it. It's somewhat noticeable around turns at higher speed.

What amazes me is that your wife not only let you take your new TRD Pro off-roading, but she was a willing participant. Maybe she tagged along to make sure you didn't do anything too crazy?

HaHaHa......Jennifer has driven it on a couple of the trails there as well, and has become a pretty good spotter! The funny thing is, she couldn't care less about a rock. She will loose her $h1T though if a limb touches the paint :lmao:
We bought this vehicle to get into overlanding and the occasional trail ride, and have been acclimating ourselves to different trail conditions, and learning about the capabilities and very few shortcomings of this particular truck. I think it will be a fantastic platform for our adventures with a few minor mods, like heavier/lift springs, and a bit of armor :cool:
We plan to make the FJ summit next year, and are slowly trying to work up the nerve to tackle Black Bear :faint2:

Highly doubt this is any of you guys but did anyone lose a NC tag? I found one in the bed of my truck someone must have thrown back there, its not expired yet but looked as if it had been on the ground all weekend and run over..


Worth a shot to get it home if anyone sees it or knows of anyone who may have lost theirs..

Only if I knew I had to sell the rear suspension for it to make it to the TCT magazine. Nice flex PD, i'm glad it is a good home.

Thats funny, he bought your rear and I bought your front. So in essence your truck was out there too...
