I swapped out the stock rear springs in my Tacoma for the Alldogs Offroad springs, due to added weight (skid plates, sliders) and for better performance towing off-road (about 1.75" of sag on stock rear springs when towing). While the performance when towing is perfect, I am not enjoying the...

Awesome. I was one ridge over on Kachess Lake last weekend.

What area/lake is that?

An update on my rear spring installation. Did some off-roading without my trailer and the rear end definitely bounces around a bit more than I'd like. On pavement, it is noticeably stiffer but nothing obnoxious. When towing my trailer, it rides very well - both on and off pavement. This is a...

I think the dust might be contributing to the temp buildup :crazy:

Yes

Took the pup paddle boarding yesterday. Note the cheesy grin on his face. He knows as soon as he hits the water, his big floppy ears can turn into decorations and be useless for listening to his dad.

I recently saw this elevation map of the US (might be exaggerated?) that made me appreciate living out in the west just that much more.

I climbed approximately 2,000ft on a rocky road (not towing) in mostly 2WD with some 4HI at very low speeds…5-10mph. The trans temp definitely climbed near redline but every time I thought it’d cross into the red, it dipped down in temp. This has been my experience whether I’m towing or...

I recently spent a couple nights traveling a 60-mile ridgeline trail that straddles the rugged Idaho/Montana border. The trail turned out to be a bit rougher than I was anticipating, based on reviews on onX OffRoad. Had to put the truck into 4LO to get up a steep two-track trail to a...

Found the top of a mountain in grizzly country. Camped on it.

I should be climbing about 4,000 feet tomorrow, towing my 1,500lb trailer. It will undoubtedly climb in temp in 2WD - I haven’t had it go into limp mode yet but it’s been very close to

Speak to me like I’m a five year old lol. I assume you aren’t referencing what’s circled in red.

They are seated properly - when installing them, there's a clear direction for the end of the spring/pigtail to face. I have debated taking the rubber strips off the stock springs and placing them on the new springs to see if that helps, but I would think the Alldogs install video would've...

I swapped out the stock rear springs with the Alldogs after also doing the front springs and being very impressed with those. Upon swapping out the rears, I now have a creaking sound coming from the rear suspension. This happens when I'm removing something as simple as a 20lb bag of pellets from...

Well, I guess your approach worked too ?

If I next ask where to put the blinker fluid, you'll know we're cooked.

You sir, may not be a mechanic, but you're more of a mechanic than me :clap: Thank you!

Checked the other side. Same thing ?

I am swapping out the stock rear springs with All Dogs. It’s a simple switch but I’ve run into an issue with the sway bar link. As you can see in the attached video, the nut seems to be rusted to the bolt and the whole bolt is turning when I try to remove the nut. I could try to loosen it with...
