This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums.

What's the deal removing the sway bar ? handles better? or more travel?Completed the sway bar relocation
I removed mine, better off-road and really not too much of a difference onroad besides whipping through a turn or jug handle but even then it’s still fine as long as you have a good suspension, and I saw you have the icons now so you’ll be fine
. The UCA's were squeaking like crazy so I pulled them to replace the bushings. Then I looked down at the bottom of the coilover and saw it. 
Purchased and installed a Mobtown bed rack.
Also have Victory4x4 sliders but it's been too damn cold and wet in NY to paint/install them ?
Also just ordered a Victory4x4 roof rack!
)
Damn. Now I need to paint the bars black!Nice
Cleaned up the engine bay (not the best but hey?
New suspension coming soon ?
Nice, that's a good setup. Nothing wrong with Bilstein's at all. I always recommend them for someone wanting a reasonably priced suspension
damn dude, that's gnarly! Never seen anything use a rubber o-ring in that location. I see that as a way to trap water and debris into that spherical rood end causing the damage that you're seeing.Lifted the front end!!
No, not in a good way ?
If you look closely you can see the o-ring bulging out of place. Not good. So I pulled the coilovers as I need to have them height adjusted anyhow.
The outer edges of the sleeve inserts in the bottom of the coilover looks to be pretty gouged up. This could have been what was making the noise I was hearing and assumed was the UCA's.
I then I removed the sleeve inserts and pulled the o-ring.
The o-ring is pretty beat up. It's cracking and just doesn't look good. Under the o-ring the spherical bearing built into the bottom of the shock isn't looking so hot either. Looks like a lot of dirt and debris has been I there a while and may have done some damage.
And the other side of the same bearing
Waiting to hear back from ARB but so far they've been very responsive on the phone. Emailed them pics this afternoon and they are working on it.
Looks awesome! Any pics of tent closed up?
Thanks, I’m a big fan of this set upThanks man! Yeah here you go
