Waited 2 years for warranty shocks from Fox, ended up with a store credit for a few hundred bucks, have no use for other gear so have an "Ultrahook" on the way. Don't need it, but at a 4wd specialty shop what else am I going to spend a store credit on that doesn't require more cash outlay? I...

I'll be adding a tank next year if I can, larger in factory location and lose the under the bed spare. For now I have some 2 gallon rotopax I've been using on various vehicles for years. My reservoirs are mounted forward, Fox, and rear King, but I always carry zip ties, both metal and plastic...

Yeah the newer ones seem good, but I always like to heat the rumours. The front end has about 10k on it now, and the rear should have 6-10k before we leave, and most of it off pavement, as I tend to take the scenic route to work if passable without safety issues. (clients like me to stay on...

Steering rack, sorry. Only been off work for 2 days yet, still not sleeping properly. ;) It was only really an issue in 2010-2012 from what I read, but there have been failures into 2016 models. That I am not so worried about. Sounds like the rest should be alright.

4000km will be highway getting there and back, the rest is at best gravel, at worst 4wd trails. My question arose when I started reading about the steering boxes going on some years of Tundras with 30-50k on them, so I'll inspect that. The normal maintenance I keep an eye one. And the truck...

So aside from the usual oil, air, fluids checks, are there any factory weak spots I should check before a 7500km road trip to Utah with the wife? Trucks running a solid mid-travel setup so Im sure the shocks and coil overs are fine. Steering components used to be an issue, are they still...

I ordered a set up here in Kanuckistan today, unfortunately not $810. ********! I got 5, because I run a matching full size spare and rate it in. But the guys in the shop here in Calgary say they were quieter than the Duratrac on their test 4Runner.

The rear end suspension is showing up anytime, and I'm going to a 17 inch wheel, but other than that not much. I am likely going to remove the bedslide and rebuild a nicer platform in the bed, mostly to save the weight, but that's just a spring driveway project. I'm lucky when it comes to use...

I love it. I had their Tiregate tailgate replacement years ago on a Ford F350 running 40's and it was solid. It tore the bed corners off my truck, but that was because we didn't know to re-enforce it. Once the bed was repaired and braced it was fine. This Hitchgate works very well and I have...

I ran 2 sets of them on my 2015 Power Wagon and they were great. I only run them until about 50% tread then sell them and get new ones, but I liked them. Every oilfield and forestry service seems to run them on their fleet trucks too, and they hold up very well. I'm on the fence about the...

I went away from first gen BFG to run Toyo MT and Duratrac for a fe years on my work trucks. The last year I've been running the new KO2 and it s much better tire than they used to be. So much so that my switch to a 35 in a few weeks is down to the BFG, the Falken if I can find them, or a...

The bedslide is handy, especially when you have heavy items like ArkPak or GZ power plants, or the Fridge. I will rebuild the deck at about the same height however and just use a slide for the fridge. The main reason is to keep the weight down in the bed. For all intended use the slide works...

Put one up finally. Hope it works out.

As a wellsite geologist in northern Canada, I get my fair use out of a truck. I do not usually modify them too much, but I built a 2011 Ram 3500 up with Carli gear years ago, and then drove an AEV Jeep Wrangler Hemi for awhile. Recently, after 2 years of year of back to back flops with new...

I do not, but I suppose I should maybe put one together. It isn't quite done yet. Almost
