Thanks for the encouragement. The illegal poll that started a few weeks ago and then got cut off is what prompted me to move on it. KLINDSEY has been providing advice along the way...and he's the one who suggested the GB in the first place.

Per TS rules, we have to wait until the poll is complete before taking the next step (please correct me if I'm wrong nhparrot). So starting 8/22 we can begin placing orders with Hellwig. I will provide all of the contact information at that time (I still need to verify the details with Hellwig concerning the exact ordering steps). Hellwig has been great to deal with. Apparently they have 6 other group buys going with other online forums right now. I'm confident that you will all have an easy time placing your orders and with any subsequent questions or problems that you may have upon receiving the product.

Speaking of which, I neglected to mention one option that Hellwig proposed last time I talked with them. They are willing to provide the bars in a color other than black if the entire GB participants agree to one color. I figure this may be difficult if not impossible to all agree on one color but thought I'd through it out there anyway. It would be a nightmare for them to provide each individual their own color. This way then can just run the entire GB batch through the powder coating process with another color after receiving all of the orders. Feel free to express your opinion on the color issue and what color you'd want. I thought it was cool that they even offer this...another for their customer service.

If you are unfamiliar with this product, please see Hellwig's site or read through the following threads: the Q&A thread, another one, and recent experiences. There are many more threads about this product that you can find by doing a SEARCH.

This group buy is for TS Subscribers only (registered users please subscribe and begin enjoying the many benefits of TS.com).

The details for the anti-sway bar are as follows:
Vendor: Hellwig Products
Part Number: 7641 (1 1/8" diameter, steel, black, Tundra anti-sway bar kit)
Price: $150 + shipping via UPS Ground (bulk item rate applies)
Delivery Time: 3-4 days, most likely less since this is an off-the-shelf item, plus UPS's delivery time

There is not a minimum quantity required to get the discount but there are not any additional price breaks for large quantity orders either. I know many on this site ordered this product from Summit Racing, but they are not willing to participate in a group buy (I contacted 5 companies in total and Hellwig is offering the best deal).

If you'd like to participate, please vote Yes before 8/21.

I'm in but would be especialy interested in quick disconnects. I would like to install those right away and not have to redo the installation. Please let us know what turns out on those.

As for color black is fine. Of Course if you could have them do it in Phantom Gray...

I know it will never happen but jbtoy's red hellwig bar looks real nice. His description even says this is the way it should come from the factory. Why not we just take his advice on it and make it happen??

Just take a look at it......its a beautiful thing

I third the red bar; I think it looks great! Easier to point out when you want to show off your new addition to the truck, too. Otherwise, black will suffice.

we got to 3 and then pete here had to kill it for us.....just kidding buddy. Im going to do mine in red when i get it up here anyway. I say we just get them normal and everybody do there own thing when they get them since hellwig only wants to do them all one color. No way everybody's going to decide on one color. Deffinately a cool idea though

Perhaps if there are enough of us, we can get two colors? 32 votes already! Black is their standard color anyway, so that shouldn't be additional work.

I need to talk to Nancy today anyway, so I will inquire about this request. I agree that this shouldn't really add too much work for them (other than ordering the red powder since they probably don't stock it). The black bars should be off-the-shelf and then they only have to run a batch of red bars for those that want them. I imagine that this will add a little bit of time for delivery for the red bars only. They will most likely wait until all orders are received so they know the quantity of red bars and then run those through the powder coating process together. I just don't want anyone ordering a red bar to get upset when the delivery time is longer. But let me talk to Nancy first. If she puts up resistance then I'll bust out some hypnotic suggestion on her:

Me: "These aren't the droids...oh um, you will split the order between red and black bars."
Nancy: "I will split the order between red and black bars."
Me: "You won't charge us shipping for these orders."
Nancy: "I won't charge you shipping for these orders."

If only it was that easy....

My other question for her is to follow up on the quick disconnect issue, which I know many of you are very interested in. I'll hopefully have a response by this afternoon.
