Yeah, we all need to get out on the trail a little. Too much web wheeling lately. It would probably be good to shake out the truck and get a little practice before AZ rocks anyway.
And if you are looking to do hard core crawling, then a truck was a bad choice for that. You should have bought a SWB jeep or fj, or be preparred to bob your bed and add a TON of armor.
your's must no be all blinged out like The Dick's then . he's done stuff on the hwy in that rig that no ifs truck short of something lowered would even think of doing. Ah, the magic of custom swaybars...

Well, The Dick is the Bling King, so no, I am not blingin with swaybars... But, I think you're still reading my post whorish posts wrong. I was simply trying to make an understanding of why 90% of trucks today have the much more expensive IFS setup. I am extremely satisfied with the way my truck handles, drives etc. Sorry if I'm a bit defensive about it- I only have a few hundred thousand hours in it!

a few hundred thousand hrs? Hm, that means you've spent at least 34 years (assuming 300,000 hrs) on your truck. That's dedication!
Yea, Dick is the one and only exception to the rule He did a maneuver on the hwy heading to a run one day that would have rolled a car; his truck barely even leaned, sheesh.
A few of us had some conversations with the Toyota engineers who were at Takeover discussing how to do the coilover SA on Tacomas that would ride and handle as well as the IFS but they weren't interested...o well.
