    Thanks, I'm looking forward to feeling the improvement from immersion shock to the bypass myself. I should get some video of it in action hu

    PRA4WX, Thank you! The FUNrunner is a '96 so it already has the better master vs pre'95's. It is a PIG tipping the scales at 5125lbs but still stops reeeeeeeal good because of all the brake upgrades.

    [Front brakes have been upgraded to larger Tundra size S13WE calipers and Stillen dimple/slotted rotors & Stillen pads (much better then the EBC stuff that I previously ran), from there DOT 4 brake juice goes into a proportioning valve, then to a CNC turning brake controller and then to the rear disks.]

    How much wheel travel does it have? From my experience, any serious travel will bend the sway bar or break the links if it is connected. Appears to be in your pics and the link is bent.

    My '99 had about 18" of wheel articulation. I would disconnect the bar on the passenger side to keep from bending it.

    His first post shows the upgrades (rod ends, etc) he did to prevent and issues of bending and shearing.

    Are you referring to the stock swaybar or upper/lower links? I don't do any serious rockcrawling where wheel bind has been an issue due to articulation and offsetting traction.
    Upper/lower links have been upgraded to chromolly with heim rod ends to prevent binding as noted by NorCalBorn. Swaybar is stock and has stock bends in it for clearance. Measuring articulation on a 5-link rear-end is so misleading that its not mentioned.
    Thanks for looking and your comments.
