I've never heard anyone say they were happy with something like that. I don't see the rock auto price but Amazon shows almost 180 for a pair. Seems like a waste of $180. So you spend $180' for a cheap solution, then spend money again later to fix it right. You would be a lot better off with...

Just as I figured, I'll be working on the dates for the NW overland rally.

I usually have to work every date that I want to do something, so I'm assuming I won't be available! I'll have to look it up and see. Long day. Just got home and been up for over 24 hours. If I find some energy I'll install these.

The Dakar pack is 2.5" thick. The top overload is about 1/2" thick. Might as well get some longer bolts!

I bet! My JK had a small tank too. I just put a 2 gallon rotopax in back in case I or someone needed it, never had to use it. But on long trips it gets old stopping so frequently more than anything else. I'd like the bigger tank in my tacoma for that reason alone. My jeep got surprisingly...

Not off hand, Im flying home tomorrow. I'll measure it for you. You can have my bump stops if you want to meet me somewhere in the next week and a half. I'll be busy through the weekend but maybe could meet during the week somewhere. FYI I have both superbumps and the allpro shorter timbren...

I have some. What area of Portland do you live?

My wrangler was well over 5k loaded up, handled great as well. I'm putting a Fwc on a tacoma so I know the gvwr issue there too. I should have clarified what I was asking I guess. Did EarthRoamer re-certify your jeep with a higher gvwr or just build it and send it out?

I'm not in the 100k+ market, but I would like to see something smaller and lighter if I was. Something like an XP camper (fiberglass pop-up) but chassis mounted, with a cab pass through, on a crew cab/ext cab short box truck. Something that is a little more comparable to sportsmobile size if...

Or just try a local machine shop?

These guys have a couple suggestions for rear bilsteins based springs used. Lengths are tower the bottom of the page. http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-11693375-toyota-tacoma-05-2014-front-rear-bilstein-5100-ride-height-adjustable-shocks-4wd-prerunner.html

I have a u bolt flip kit and wheelers super bumps installed. They are taller and more progressive so they don't bottom out hard. When I get home and install the shocks I'll cycle the suspension. If needed I'll install spacers under the bump stops (a have a handful of 1/4" spacers to use)...

Thanks. Headed home Wednesday, have a couple parts at home that I've been waiting on but nothing major for a while. Seems that everyone in the family is a may birthday, then there is Mother's Day and who knows what else. I was planning to order electrical stuff now but Im holding off since...

Definitely worth shopping around for built thirds. Shipping locations could even make the difference. I believe ECGS ships free but you pay shipping to return your parts.

Waste of time and energy imo. On all of my rigs the intake temps drop very quickly once I'm moving again and moving more air. Even if you wrap the intake, it's still going to heat soak under the hood.

Yes up travel is limited with a longer shock. However with bigger tires that's not always a bad thing. With heavier duty leaf springs they may not compress as much either. It is easy to adjust bump stops to not damage the shocks on compression. The key to longer shocks is more overall...

Haha yes. Only a few miles of gravel on mine so far but they trapped and launched a lot of gravel. Every "agressive" all terrain I've had does though. Makes me think twice about removing the stupid plastic mud flaps...

East coast gear supply. You can order a rear third member and a front clamshell with gears and arb lockers loaded for about $3100 after core return. If you don't mind installing yourself. I called one shop in Washington and was quoted over $5k for the parts and labor, needless to say I'll be...

Definitely best to match from and rear shocks. Even if you want to keep the cost down, go with 2.0 icons so they are valved alike. The OME dakars could work for you. They lifted my double cab long bed 2.75" but with an empty bed. However you could remove the top overload spring (drops...

Good looking setup! Sorry about the troubles but I'm glad the palomino didn't work out for you. I try to steer people away from them. I looked at them new a handful of times myself and they just look like pure junk. I'm sure you'll be much happier with the Northstar camper. I know what...
