It’s not bilstein it’s ARB Old Man Emu. Exclusively for the trailhunter. They are based out of Australia

The integrated top hat assembly can have some play. It’s 100% safe but can make noise that drove me nuts. I ended up doing the whole OME lineup with UCAs and rear springs. Settled on the medium springs (440+ lbs). Also installed extended rear sway bar end links from Dobinsons as well as the...

Hey man! Congrats on starting the journey of suspension upgrades. I know one person that has had a nightmare of a time with DK. I have the OME MT64 setup that has had its hiccups. Overall performing amazingly. From all I’ve seen the bilstein 6112/6100 are pretty bullet proof. That’s my 2 cents...

Where were you 2 years ago! 🤣 Would have loved a Trailhunter long bed at 10% off MSRP ☹️

There are a number of videos out there of these style bumpers that go through how to make this work. Strait forward but tedious. Look up cali raised, CBI, and RCI as those had great videos. Not sure which one goes through the wiring harness extensions.

I’d love the twin brushless! Seamlessly mounted under the hood for a no hassle easy air job

I’m interested to see what Marie says but I would bet she says, “our MT64 system works great for a stock weight 4th gen Tacoma! We’ve engineered the shocks, struts and rear springs to work in concert for ideal ride quality and off-road performance. You can also upgrade rear springs to seamlessly...

Sorry I’m confused. What dobinsons top hat comes on bilstein shocks? I got my kit from shock surplus and they were fine. My issue was I ordered springs through them from Dobinsons that was back ordered and Dobinsons is really bad at updating their inventory or giving you any idea of when...

Did you look at mudify or shock surplus? Do you need to reinforce the top hats?? I don’t think those have issues with failures, just the stock ones.

Gotcha. Sounds like you’ve had a hell of a time with it!! I had my own struggles after install 5/31… top hat to the MT64 is defective and rattles. It’s “safe” but noisy. After 2 months finally got a “fixed” version. We’ll see if it happens again… did that second install last weekend along...

Sick setup! I was impatient back in March and couldn’t wait for the 6112/6100s to become available so got the MT64s. I didn’t realize if I waited 2 weeks they would have been. I’m happy with it though. What springs are you going to change to? Dobinsons, all dogs, OME? Did you notice any...

Downside to those is the rebuild interval at 50k miles. I’d expect the bilstein and OME to last 100k

Yea

Fair… I’ve heard great things about the fox TRD shocks. Something to consider. Not as much lift but they’re supposed to be really comfy and capable.

I have the MT 64 set up and can tell you it is a very smooth and comfortable ride. However, it is intended and designed for a rig that has weight on it. That doesn’t mean you have to have weight to use it. It’s just a really expensive option. I have also heard the bilsteins are a bit stiff in...

Happy to report the MT64 setup is now dialed in and with fingers crossed, it wont give me any more grief!! Had the reported top hat issue others have complained about on the forum. It wasn't noticeable going over speed bumps, just over small dips at low speeds and when turning right. Most...

Marie, Yea that’s what I expected with the light springs. But they sag quite a bit with the cap and platform. I’m only getting a little over 1” of lift in the back and I think it’s too soft going over bumps. I’m gonna to have to go with the medium springs.

I've looked a several pros on the lot and have noted they have the same silver tie rod ends. doesn't mean all pros dont have the upgraded ones. Easy to look and see. Black = upgraded rod ends.

I had to walk into autozone and look at all the options to find it. But if you look up what fuses Toyota uses you can then just order some online. I forget what they are called but it’s easily found. Glad it worked out and it saved a bigger headache

Change the fuse anyway. Cheap what if fix if it works
