The one eye sore of the 4th gen tacoma…

[Gfenza89]

Does anyone else beside me find the rear stabilizer arms hanging so low and being so visible really ugly ? Just looks goofy IMO. Maybe I’m the only one who can’t seem to get over the look of them, it’s the only thing about my truck I dislike. Photo is not of my truck fyi.

Yeah Tinkerer’s Adventure talked about them and the fact they hang that low isn’t ideal. I bumped one on a rock on the trail one time. The clearance at the front of the truck is better on the 4th, but worse at the rear suspension. I guess the trade off is more articulation with rear coil suspension.

Talking about eye sores, I strongly dislike the milled lip around the edge of my stock off road wheels. As soon as the summer wheels/tires go back on I’ll be painting the lip on the stock wheels.

Looks better and cleaner than leaf springs hanging there.

Ya, I suspect he would have heartburn with the spring hanger on my Gen1 4Runner. Not to mention the shackles hanging down too.

Also it took me a total of 30 minutes to install new springs! I kept thinking I must have missed something!

The true eye sore is the tail pipe. Dump that for the trail pipe.

100% agree. Once I acquire my truck it will be the first thing to come off. That, and the spare tire ... and one other thing I will talk about later.
