That's great! Are you able to provide more details about the ride, valving, damping and how they handle your camper?

I finally landed on a set of shocks (Falcon 3.2). I spoke with the guys over at Shock Surplus, Ian from Wheel Every Weekend, and a sales rep from Icon to pick their brain about shocks, tuning, and my application. I'll dive into some of the research and my thought process but keep in mind, I'm...

Do you know the part number on the 4th gen pro UCAs?

I ran C rated ko2s for 50k miles. The only flat I ever got was a nail straight through bottom. I beat them to shit. Got E rated duractrac RTs for my 4th gen because they don't come in a C and blew a 6 inch gash through the sidewall on my second trip. I've heard Es are supposed to be stronger...

Unless you want a rear locker, SR 4wd is the way to go 👍👍

Love the shock value series. I keep hoping they're going to come out with an episode for the 4th gen.

I ruled out the Eibach 2r personally because it's a 46mm piston same as the stock red bilsteins, but without a reservoir so it has even less oil capacity than the stockies. Falcon is a 2.25 body, everything else on the list is a 2.5, and the MT64 is 2.8 which is the biggest body shock you can...

Nope, no reason. It's on the poll now. Any experience with it?

It's time to upgrade the stock TRD offroad bilstein shocks (I have them on Alldogs offroad springs.) They're great for low speed off roading but they just can't hang at higher speeds and don't dampen extra weight very well. I'm looking for a best bang/buck suspension setup - 2.5 or 3.0 front...

Thanks for your input! Exactly the kind of insight I was looking for.

I ran 5100s in the past on a 1g tacoma, 1g tundra, and 4g 4runner. It's hard to compare apples to apples on the shock because they were all different vehicles with different springs. But, my $.02 is that 5100s are stiffer, so they use their travel more efficiently, but top out and bottom out...

I've been reading around about bed stiffeners, and it generally seems like people recommend them when mounting a few hundred pounds to the bedsides. I'm running a fiberglass shell, roof rack, awning, shovel, tool box, and 8 gallon water tank, so this setup would definitely fall under the...

Truck looks great! Not a lot of options for rear springs on this gen yet. I have the All Dogs and I think they'd work for you with just the camper but not when you're loaded down with gear and the bike. May be worth waiting for some Dobinsons.

No but the rear end was sliding around on the washboard in 2hi, so it's a which do you prefer type of situation; super slow in 4lo or not enough grip in 2hi. I shouldn't have to pick one or the other in my "offroad" truck.

How it happened: I was driving on a grated 2 lane wide dirt road in 4HI when the transmission overheated. I was loaded down with about 400lbs of gear and 2 people, 285/70r17 tires aired down to 20psi (2k miles on the truck.) I've done that road in a built and loaded down 4th gen 4runner and a...

It's the CX Evolve by ARE. I chose it because it came with the headliner carpet standard and the demo models in the store seemed to have better seals than the Leer and Snugtop shells. Good seals were important to me because of cold weather/windy camping, and I've had 2 shells in the past that...

What's great about this generation is Toyota listened to how their buyers used their trucks, then created a trim level for every category of user with the ability to modify it even further. SR for fleet and work trucks, SR5 for the budget conscious, Sport for all around, Off-Road for off road...

I went with alldogs offroad springs front and rear. The front have a +15% increase in spring rate and 1.5" lift which feels just about right. The rears need to be loaded down with a couple hundred pounds to ride well and sit somewhere around +2-3" over stock unloaded (I didn't measure, just...

I experienced this on my offroad with the regular turbo 4. The transmission overheated and went into limp mode multiple times on a grated dirt road that went from 4k ft to 8k ft elevation. I even crossed an Astro van that was making its way down which really pissed me off ? Putting it into 4lo...

No issues at all!
