Pavelow Leaks Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I made mine by removing the sway bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries247 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ditto on pavelow's reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranoNZ Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sort of ditto to both. I have no front sway bar and when I go offroad I stick the truck up on the hoist at work and use a rattle gun. 2 sec and the rear one is off. We have not been very helpful huh?

Mr. Pickles Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) You can buy disconnect pins/bolts to replace those on the swaybar. That being said, they're easy... but not cheap. I'd ditto what was said above. You could even just pull them for trail runs if you want to run them on the street. Its not hard, a few bolts each. If you disconnect them and leave them in, then you have to sort out a way to securely mount them up and out of the way.

Mookie Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Do a Google search and you should come up with a few write ups. Some of these guys have some decent pictures to go along with their write ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 TerranoNZ.... your drive hardly qualifies I took my rear bar off last night. The first time you do it it may be a pita, but after that it would not be hard to remove reinstal it if you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonainmi Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 well, i have access to a shop and LOTS of tools (i work in one and am going to school for auto tech) you guys thing my best option would just be remove the sway bar when im going to go weeling? or just leave it off all the time? Better qustion, how bad is the body roll without th sway bar? (i want to do both front and rear) Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailChaser Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'd just remove it and buy yourself some rancho 5000's. As long as you drive it like a truck/suv you'll be fine with the slight body roll. You will most like roll it before sliding sideways in a fast turn tho.

jonainmi Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 just what i need, a WD21 on its top.... im thinking i will just take the damn thing off and if i dont like it, just put it back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You can simply unbolt one side and let it hang. That will effectively disconnect it and let you have full rear axle travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I thought about simply disconnecting one side but then decided against it because I did not want the chance of hanging up on it, when one side drops and the other compresses. Anyway, I drove freeway, highway, city and back roads today... along with trails and I think I will just leave it (rear sway bar) off. I even had to dodge a Tacoma News Tribune van today when he tried to run me off the road... on my way to Tahuya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonainmi Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 lol, so the body roll isnt TOO bad i take it then? Thanks guys.

aries247 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 body roll is not that bad. like you said if you don't like it put it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barthel Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Does that apply to the front as well? My front bar is broken and if I don't have to replace it, that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonainmi Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 shouldnt be a problem as far as i can tell? Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavelow Leaks Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I don't have front or rear swaybars, and the roll isn't that noticeable if you don't try to corner it like a sports car. I have a 3+3 lift too if that makes you anymore comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries247 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 i have just a 3in. body lift and drove the freeway at 55-60 and i have no front or rear sway bars. like pavelow says don't drive it like a sports car and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
