iron man foam cell front struts with performance springs, metal tech dual rate rear spring and icon vs shocks. I have the one inch spacer installed in the front, in preparation for added weight. As it sits right now it's at 4" in the front and 3.5" in the back. Installed about three months ago...
07 1gr. Iron man icon combo. Iron man performance springs, icon vs shocks. Kelly safari tires. Pretty potent combo. I'm not in to hard core wheeling, just exploring the path less traveled. This truck lets me do it in comfort. Got a few goodies under the hood too.

I'm getting pretty good receive from where its at right now. I'm not terribly worried about rf exposure. If I start getting weird headaches I'll move the antenna lol. Surprisingly enough, the shape of my vehicle and where the antenna is placed, I don't think its affecting signal strength much.
Thanks mark! I'll be in MN until October, then I'm heading back to TX. Planning a moab trip for this winter. AZ is also on my list. Any tips for me before hand?
Pulled the trigger on the v8000. I also picked up a diamond multi band antenna that will get up and over the roof line. Hopefully I'll have time to take the test next week. also on order is a fancy spot SAT phone.
I couldn't agree with you more. BUT the idea here is to have multiple options, In the event that equipment fails. A spot sat phone is also on the list. Thanks for the links.
With the need for long range coms being not nearly met with cb, I'm switching to 2m ham. I have decided on the icom v8000. Not sure on what antenna yet. going to be mounting it on my 2007 4runner. the antenna mount is a CBI offroad ditch light bracket in front of the drivers a pillar. My...
that's what I was thinking. I may steal that idea for my build. I have the v6 but its plenty. plus the smaller size makes it a little more maneuverable on the trail. I will be following your build, and possibly stealing more ideas. (if you don't mind of course!)
Been following the teams travels via YouTube. All I have to say is, well done. Good to see you putting those a/t's through hell, and making it out ok. Most people think you need to run a mud tire for trips like these. Safe travels y'all.

Your truck makes me wanna scrap my 4th gen build and start fresh on a 5th gen te. Great build. How do you have your secondary fuel tank feeding the system?

I wonder if they will offer an extended version similar to the Tacoma. One that covers more of the roof closer to the front. Or have a light bar mount...
