TBYOTA might I ask why you have a sway bar on your bumper? Do you reinstall it after wheeling?

Funny story. During my install of the 2" rear spring spacer and Z71 springs I had to remove the end links to make it possible for easy install. So I just tie wrapped the bar up out of the way with the intent of removing it. Sort of forgot about it until hitting a few rocks at TECORE and one finally did this. :lol: Yes I know I also did not remove stock spare. :facepalm:

After much group discussion and few on shit moments on my part. I was able to get a message out to JD via v7guy (jason) to bring a sawzall and blade however I did not get a reply if JD got the message. So we tried using a partly worn hack saw to cut it with little success. My buddy Scott suggested we put tow strap on the two ends and we used TrailShaman (Jamie) winch to pop it back over the axle and we removed it. To be funny/store it I mount it to my bumper, kinda looks horns.

Took what amounted to a 2000 mile trip from Thursday to Tuesday around Oregon. Went from La Grande to Sandy to Prineville to the Painted Hills to Sheep Rock, to Ukiah, to La Grande. Then went to Elgin to Baker City, back to La Grande, then off to Sandy to Portland, then to Tillamook, back to Portland, then back to La Grande. Mostly pavement, so not worthy of its own trip thread. :slap:

Fun trip overall :safari:
