    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    Got squared away with Rex on the purchase of my tent today! Excited to get the Alpha mounted on the 4Runner.

    4th Gen 4runner suspension refresh, calling all suspension guru's

    Just replaced my Stage 1 Icon struts/shocks with a set from Dobinsons on my '17 4Runner. I am always amazed at how good a new suspension feels...mostly because at 53K on the Icons, I doubt there was a drop of oil in any of them (seals seem to be an Icon weak point). That said, the ride quality...

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    I should have mentioned the fact that Rex is not taking any down payment or security money on the orders, just an email handshake and gentlemen's agreement. I would imagine he has significant cash tied up in the initial orders from the Bush Company, but he is waiting to tie up customer money...

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    His numbers are on the website. And, Rex is active on FB...send him a message or an invite and I am sure he will respond. I have a Baja Rack mounted on the 4Runner and will most likely stick with it when we mount the Alpha. Weight is always a concern. The wife and I tend to not hang around in...

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    https://www.thebushcompany.com/contact-us/the-bush-company-usa/ Rex Guardione is the guy. He Is new to their distribution network so time will tell. But, to this point he has been extremely helpful and the communication has been excellent.

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    My deal on the Alpha is for $3,650.00 picked up in Houston. That is an introductory offer on the first shipment... Not sure if that price is still available but a phone call would answer the question.

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    A couple things caught my interest. They seem very well constructed (but I think that can be said of all the tents in this class). The dimensions work out well for me--the distributor gave me a video tour of his tent, and the foot end which was the concern on the AluCab is more spacious. I like...

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    Spoke at length with the US distributor. Have one on order and set to arrive in January.

    EEZI-Awn Stealth or AluCab?

    After looking them all over the AluCab dropped out of contention with the lack of foot room at the bottom. The Stealth looks like a great tent and Eezi-Awn makes amazing stuff, but I ended up speaking for a Bush Company Alpha which is scheduled to arrive in late January. The space, the...

    EEZI-Awn Stealth or AluCab?

    Thanks for the input! I looked at the Blade and think there advantages to her...but those size 15 feet at the end of my legs are voting for the expanded space available in the Stealth! ?

    Time to rebuild my shocks:

    No, I am going to go with the Dobinsons. They have been super helpful in the process.

    EEZI-Awn Stealth or AluCab?

    We enjoyed our first RTT (a James Baroud Nomad 160) and used it from Mexico to the Arctic. We had a different trip planned this summer involving backpacks and a whole lot of hiking , so we sent it down the road to a new home in San Diego. The downside of the soft-side tent for us was two-fold...

    EEZI-Awn Stealth or AluCab?

    Thank you for the educated input. I just got back from looking over Towee's AluCab, and I have to say I was impressed. The thing is build like a bank vault--the overall quality on the construction seems to be outstanding on all fronts. A couple challenges: I am 6'3" and my toes (particularly...

    EEZI-Awn Stealth or AluCab?

    Going to go check out Towee's AluCab later today. Still interested in hearing any feedback on the Stealth. Anything???

    EEZI-Awn Stealth or AluCab?

    Summer 2019's plans took us in a direction that didn't allow much time in the 4Runner, so I sold our soft side RTT. My wife is just now speaking to me again... We are looking at the move toward a hard shell and are narrowing the search to the Stealth or the AluCab. I have done the searches...

    Time to rebuild my shocks:

    Long visit with Mike @ Dobinsons today. Lots of help and great information. New struts and springs for the front, and shocks for the rear on the way.

    Time to rebuild my shocks:

    I rolled 50K over on my 2017 4Runner coming back from Arizona last week. It is time (actually long overdue...) to rebuild or upgrade my shocks. 80% of the time we are loaded and running 75 mph down the Interstate. The remaining 20% will see us on Forest Service Roads and the like from Big Bend...
