Yes, it is designed for stock height, so I'm not sure what would need to be done to work for lifted vehicles.

I believe you would use spacers under the airbags if you had a lift. This would allow for the lift but also bring the airbags into stock, unlifted, position.
Not sure how it would handle articulation fir this application.

Spacers would work, but articulation would be limited because of the size of the airbags. The best bet would to be to get the dimentions and search for the right bags to use. Maybe off a full size. What you'd really need to do is look for spring width, and the spring to frame height just to the front of the bumpstop.

Do you have any details you can share on the fridge install? I've seen Bajataco's work where he extended out the flooring. Did you go that route too? Great work. :beer:

I simply removed the rear seats, and the plastic back as you can see in the picture. It fits snug so I haven't bolted it down yet, but that might be in the plan for the future. I believe that Baja's fridge is wider than mine, so that would explain why he extended his floor out.

Excellent, thanks. I'm looking at the same size fridge right you got, just wondered how well it fit in the Tacoma. I was not wanting to modify the flooring if I could avoid it.

I started to modify it, I had gutted EVERYTHING back there, ugh, no fun. But then I'm sitting in my truck while it's a nice balmy 90F outside and I came to the conclusion, why change something that doesn't need to be changed. So, everything went back together (easier than I thought, haha) But you should be fine, I can get some pics of just the fridge. Part of the fridge is on my sub, but it's nothing too bad. I'll make it a priority to snap a pic for ya tomorrow.

Can you give more info on the crosslink -- how it is made, where to get the parts (NAPA?)....

Thanks!:bowdown:

The tube and the threaded fittings can be made at napa (they have a machine to do it)

and I'm sorry that I don't have a part # for you on the schrader adaptors, but it is a "normally closed clamp on schrader valve adaptor" or something to that extent.

My suggestion would be to possibly print out the pic that I have up and take it to napa to show the guy what you're talking about.

I can try to swing by napa and get a part # but I've been super busy with school and all so it might be a bit before I can do that.

No worries. I'll swing by there myself and check into it. Thanks for the info and for posting your setup. I have recently installed OME setup with airbags on my 4R and I really like the idea of not having to deflate and re-inflate when going offroad with my trailer. I'll let you all know what I find.
