    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    That would be nice!! But no... Just rolled across the border. On our drive to Guadalupe Hot Springs (rough road) driving it at 45-50 mph my buddy overheated his Fox 2.0 shocks (not resi). Mine did great even catching air a handful of times. Essentially anything will work you just have to...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    They are the best durable, value shock. I've had them on several rigs. I will say the front strut assembly for my 2013 Taco was overly harsh (poor extension damping). I'm guessing the shock valving not well matched to HD spring. It was the proper spring for the weight however. It basically...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    I spent about 6 months talking to Tundra and Tacoma owners for real world experience. Essentially, all of them hauling campers are well over the GVW. There were no reliability or failure issues I discovered. For my purposes, I wanted a full size with tight turning radius (Tundra beats...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    I have not rebuilt mine. I've owned Icon, King and OME. King was exceedingly difficult to adjust height with coil installed (I would uninstall to adjust), they rode great otherwise. Icon is well tuned for the truck. Both are high quality options. It adjusts the compression only.

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    Spend the money on good quality suspension (King, Fox, Icon - Icon rocks). The Icon Resi 2.5" Adjustable are fantastic. I'll adjust the valving on off road trips with heavy load. Then adjust them down with less load. I don't like airbags. Get proper suspension for the actual weight you...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    Tundra weight rating is low from the factory with passenger rated tires and soft suspension. It has no issue handling much more weight with proper suspension, shocks and tires. Mine handles as good or better than stock with about 2,500lbs or more on trips. It has deaver springs, sway bar...

    Radflo suspension for 3rd gen montero

    King ride similar to stock on road. More control, less body sway/motion. Off road they are incredible. If you like driving 45mph or faster especially. You can catch air and won't even know it. Extremely smooth and not jarring. I've run OME shocks, Donahoe Racing (before they became Icon)...

    Eurosonic's Montero 2.5Gen Build Thread

    The truck actually sits on front/rear suspension subframes. It is possible to lift the body off the subframe. There are kits available in Japan. It is rather involved. I considered building something but realistically Mitsu owners are too cheap to make it worthwhile.

    Cleaning Gen III Intake Manifold

    Warm dishwasher soap bath soak then brake cleaner. You can make it like new. It will look like this: Good time to red loctite the butterfly valves.

    Tufport T60 - Camper Fiberglass Shell Cabover - Fully Enclosed - Oregon - $3900

    TufPort - T60 SUPER CAPACITY I purchased this with the plan to build a camper. It is rather ideal with the light weight, water/dust tight, low overall height profile. It is a fully enclosed unit that can easily be lifted out of the rig (has a floor). Heavy duty commercial grade type...

    2016 Sierra Carnage

    It happened on my buddies truck. Diff was creating vacuum and sucking gear oil when air locker released. Get a line splice from ARB. Then can easily disconnect at a more convenient location near the diff. Mine didn't have that issue. However, you can see oil residue on the compressor...

    2016 Sierra Carnage

    You probably have gear oil in the air line. Pull the line from the diff and blow out. :)

    Gitout.com - Ultimate Expedition Build - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Limited

    Mine were custom valving for the weight 25001-265. Call Ben @ Filthymotorsports. They will valve and have them built for whatever you like. Mine was valved to carry 800-1000 lbs over stock for high speed type driving. Springs don't matter as much as the load you plan to carry. You may end...
