Won't really know until I get it out on twisty roads or the freeway. Should know by end of the week.

Ya. I eyed those too. Was able to get this oem one direct from a tundra dealership for about 50% off regular price and free shipping.

Night and day difference. Holy hell. Figured I'd notice something but it's seriously a massive improvement.

Been very tempted on the Tahoe. That thing has more roll than I’ve ever liked.

Would be nice if they supplied a quick disconnect and all. I mean its their "TRD" line.

for all those rock crawling tundras.

Rock, or even medium to challenging trail use.

Disconnecting it really helps with head toss and smoother ride off-road too.

I've been looking at it. Not really sure if there would be a good way to quick disconnect it anyway. Would need to find a way to secure it out of the way.

Lock them up top. Good read on it.

I dont see how that would work on a RSB. The way this thing attaches to the rear axle. Not the frame like most sway bars. Basically it is u-bolted to the rear axle and 2 bolts at the end of the endlinks attach to the frame. If you disconnect anything it will fall down. So would need to find a way to secure it to the axle itself.

Leave one side connected and fold up the opposite end.

Driving the truck at night the other day. How the hell did we survive the early 00s driving trucks with those headlights?

Danielle said I need new ones and pressured me into buying ones. So trying these out:

Not sure if I am going to paint the under parts of leave them black yet. We will how it looks when I get them. Something different than the typical Morimotos.

Headlights were so bad until the last 5-10 years unless you got the upgraded lighting packages. It was one of the things that made shopping for a used truck hard for me, I wanted the factory lighting package or I knew I was spending over $1000 immediately for aftermarket upgrades. Halogens are just terrible. Hope these work out for you.

One of the best "old" headlights i ever experienced was that of the 300ZX's. Those light up the drive really nice. New LEDs are terrific though.
