Couldn't resist a good deal, so hello Ford 9! I don't even know if I can make it work yet. Obvious upgrades are disc brakes, 35 spline axles, lower gears, locker, etc. Still figuring out how to make the GX bolt pattern work without too many custom parts. Hopefully Currie still sells their 120...

Happy here with no front even on mountain roads. No sway bar means you rely on the springs more to prevent body roll, so with stiffer springs you are less likely to notice it gone. I've never tried driving with both removed, but my guess is that the spring stiffness required to prevent...

Depends on how stiff your rear springs are. Stiffer springs reduce body roll and make up for lack of sway bar. Caveat: I run the rear but no front

Sure! Sending you a PM now

Bump. Always open to offers

Thankfully I haven't had to do them on the GX, but I've done my pickup and I agree. Quite the exercise in patience, dexterity and Tetris.

You can have my OEM. Lightly used, lots of life left: :p Sorry, couldn't help myself. I second the suggestion to ask around here, and also call local wrecking yards. Hopefully no need to buy new.

Now THAT'S a wrench

Does the 2003 have SAIS? I thought it was 05+ Limp mode usually throws lights or codes (do you have any codes?) but then it could be this gem: @Vlad might have some thoughts as he's well-versed in his 03...

Realistically I'll probably get an 8.2 because it's such an easy swap, but there's this 8.4 with an arb from a Tacoma that keeps popping up on my local Craigslist for 1k and it's very tempting. It would be a bit of work to weld all the brackets on though. As far as I can tell the 8.4 is also...
