Swaybar Disconnects, check it!!!

Thanks to 2007fj for allowing me to follow along the progress of this project and letting me be the first to get this disco (besides him and his brother). The workmanship and attention to detail is very obvious once you get one of these bad boys. He's a certified welder and is a welding inspector by trade, so he knows his stuff. Anyway, here's the write up...it's real quick since it doesn't take much time to disconnect it.

He's gone through a couple iterations, a two-side disco and a single side disco. He ended up settling on a single side for simplicity reasons. But I'll let him chime in or you can PM him for more info. It disconnects on the driver side.

First, remove two 3/4" bolts (torqued at 85 lbs.)

Second, swing away the disconnected part.

Third, remove pin at the link.

Fourth...you're now disconnected, lol

The other side of the sway bar has a heavy duty greasable link

Any technical questions about the welding methods and/or price, I'll have to defer to 2007fj.

This is awesome, no one makes these for the 2nd gen taco either and they should bolt up to a taco as well. I would love to get a set on my truck.

2007fj (Mark) hooked me up with the updated swaybar. After some R&D, he decided to make the link beefier and revised the design slightly at the disconnect. I emailed him to get me exactly what he revised to share with all of you, but he's on vacation for a bit so I'll update you guys later. Anyway, here are some pics:
