Are the hd and mediums the same spring rate up front? I haven’t seen or read anywhere about their respective stats. I had already narrowed down the rears to the mediums and hd in the front since I will be getting a bar and winch (bar and suspension will most likely be ordered in tandem and...

You just need to lower your expectations on what ideal is. Just kidding. I just want a simple increase in height and weight carrying capacity. Having had OME previously and not wanting a coilover that requires a rebuild every 50-60k would be ideal.

Yeah I was tracking the that the mediums can be convert to HD with the add a leaf. I also understand that different strokes for different folks, aka one setup might work for one person and would be terrible for another. I have gone through the troubles of figuring out suspension problems when...

Where were you deployed? Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk South America. Major truck envy went on when I was down there.

Yeah I tried to order the outdoorsman window too. I can’t beliece I didn’t think about doing one type of window on each side, that was super smart on your part.

that is a great looking truck. Did you get the D4D? It’s a great motor, I drove a newer prado with the D4D for about six months while I was on a deployment. Looking forward to this build though. I like the fact that you did the bumper install in the parking garage and that you didn’t have to...

That is exactly the top I ordered it looks like, it’s the v-series right? Was your dealer/installed pretty cool about fixing the issue for you or did you have to “negotiate” with them to fix that issue with the clamps? Also I ordered the Yakima crossbars, have you found them to be useful? I...

I’m also interested in the finding out how the Dakar meds feel in comparison to the stock Pro4x leaf pack. Can anyone who went with the mediums and have a topper chime in about the before and after? Thanks Also, has anyone ordered a camper top lately? Is the turn around time normally about a month?

By the term “one of these” I mean a current zr2 or trd pro (closest comps). Both are a couple of grand shy of a new power wagon if it’s built on a tradesman base on 2500.

I totally agree with you. The price point will be the biggest challenge for most prospect buyers. You can get a new power wagon for the price of one these. Again it comes down to the individual and their needs/wants

All in the eye of the beholder. Function over form or something like that. But for 6k less than a Tacoma you get a fully boxed frame that doesn’t require purchasing additional aftermarket braces to keep the bed from flexing, four disk brakes,and more low end torque. Back to the point though...

IF GM does make this it would be awesome. If they do price it reasonably though each dealer that gets one will jack the price up like a lot of ford dealers did/do with the raptors. As for the Toyota being the only options for reliability, Nissan is right up there with reliability and function...

If you don’t mind me asking why only Toyota for a mid size pickup?

So if this follows in the same footsteps as AEV does for Jeeps and RAMs this should put it in the ballpark park of 80k plus for a midsize pickup... (not knocking anyone who has or will have an AEV vehicle it’s just they are super expensive) Also is AEV connected with the Bison project or is...

This clears things up for me, thank you.

Ok so I’m trying to figure out the rear leaf pack situation. I am purchasing a ARE shell (~200lbs) and trying to figure out if that’s enough weight to justify the Dakar hd. OME and others recommend at least 500lbs with the HDs. Can anyone chime in with how/ what setup you went with?

I’m surprised that the Ruger Gunsite scout hasn’t been mentioned more. It fits the bill. .308 (7.62x51), bolt action, detachable magazine shortish barrel options (16 and 18”). I just traded a m1a for one due to moving to a states that isn’t towards friendly towards firearms. Great general...

Great post. If you don’t me asking what kind of tent/awning setup is that?

I’m going to bump this thread in the event that anyone has heard anything new about dobinson.

Good day everyone. Long time reader, first time poster I have been in the search for a new suspension setup for a 2017 Frontier 4.0L (basic camping gear in the bed ~150-200lbs and two humans and dog in the cab). I know the go to basic is an old man emu or a radflo coilover kit, but after a bit...
