It's not even that bad. It's WAY smoother over bumps. Handling wise, it sucks. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being a Porsche and 10 being undriveable) A 4Runner with a front sway bar would be a 6 and a 4Runner w/o a front sway bar would be 7.5. I plan on my putting my front sway bar back on because it scars my little sister to feel tippy on corners.

I finally found a Discount Tire that had some of these in stock. Man what a crazy week. I thought day and night about what size tires I wanted to run "Literally" I couldn't sleep over this lol. To be honest 33's for sure look better, and I would have got them, but for what i use my truck for they didn't win 
So anyway i got some 265-75-16's and IMO they don't look too bad. Here are some quick pics.
Besides the new tires I have no idea haha. I making my last payment on my truck next month so I'm gonna have a ton of extra cash flow but I'm gonna save a lot of it
for now i need to get longer end links for the back, Possibly drop the panhard bar, I want some D rings for the front and rear hitch, I'm probably going to do a full satoshi grill,

One more follow up from yesterday, shot of the bracket and bluesea aux fuse block
shot of the rear with the two rear facing leds. need to get some shots at night but they are bright.
Been sitting on a 99+ center console to fix the whole pre 99 bogus 3rd gen bev holder situation. The only thing stopping me was the lack of dash space to mount the switches that that resided in the center console. The typical area to the left of the steering wheel housed compressor, locker switches, and two seperate runs of offroad lights.
My newest attempt at this fix is below. Figured since my parking brake was rendered useless by the rear disk conversion might as well use that as a mount. Cup holder is on a full gimble.

Can you post a link on where to buy that distribution / fuse box?
I need to redo my electrical setup soon.

This is where I got mine...cheapest I found, $35. They also come in a 12 connector unit, for $44
They work great...
Blue Sea Systems ST Series Blade Fuse Block with Cover 6 Circuit from Wholesale Marine

Yep, RussToy that is the same one.
I think paid 35 w/shipping from Amazon, although the local West Marine had them for $41.
If you plan on adding a lot of items utiliizing a 30A or smaller fuse I'd pop for the 12 space box rather than the 6. I have 2 open spots but don't really need anything else. (I think)
More pressing is a GM alternator mod as soon as I get a chance.

Is the GM alternator mod really necessary?
I bought a quality battery, and a solar trickle charger. I plan to do the big-3 upgrade soon as well. I don't know if the GM alternator mod is really required. A lot of trail rigs are running g their stock alternators.

Got rid of that disgusting wood trim

The only reason I was thinking that is the 4 HIDs on the roof, the headlights etc don't seem to make current alternator very happy at idle. Honestly my alternator might just be old.:suspicious:

Can't wait to do that myself. You paint it or replace it.
Oh today I gave my T4R it's monthly tankful of super.
I really like this truck. 
I got "check engine" light on Sunday. Monday I took it to my mechanic and he said "evap". He re-attached a loose hose (gas tank vent?) on the driver side and tightened a clamp on the air intake (the dealership missed it when they cleaned the MAF when the truck failed emissions after I bought it). The "check engine" light went out and hasn't come back on yet.
Did I mention I really like this truck.

Put her in the shop this afternoon. My shop at home. Had an axle seal leaking and a roaring along with it. Suspected it was a bearing and sure enough it was. Now to get some new ones tomorrow and put her back together.
Had a little helper out in the shop with me but he wasn't much help
