Siblings from different generations. Here is my 2000 Tundra adjacent to my 2025 Trailhunter LB. The illusion here makes the Tundra appear larger whereas they are both comparable in length with the Tacoma sitting higher.
I have Dodinson 822s on the front and 821s on the rear of my Trailhunter. I had significant sag when loaded for overlanding last year and measured over 1" below new afterwards unloaded so I made the switch earlier this year. The last time I measured from hub to trim it was 24-24.5" in front...
Just be aware that there is no way to open the Alu-cab canopy from the inside if latched. At least, not one that I have found. I even inquired with AVO who installed mine.
My Sherpa Rainier just shipped. I was looking at the Roam boxes as well and thought the T bracket mounts looked easy. I'm just curious, why didn't you move the rail so the bracket aligned on the outside the rail for easy access?
I experienced significant sag in my Trailhunter when fully loaded for vacation where I head off road which led me to Dobinsons C59-821 in the rear and 822s in the front. This easily brought the height back.
Regarding tires and spares, I recently switched to Method 703 +35 wheels with...
I think you will be happy with the Alu-cab Contour Canopy. I love mine. It definitely changes the look of the truck. The first pic is immediately after installation at AVO. The second taken recently after additional mods.
Method 703 +35 in bronze with Nitto Terra Grappler G3 285/75R17 in E load. My compromise between size, weight, and potential hit on gas mileage. This appears to be the largest I could go without removing the crash pads.
pads.
Here is a link to the N-fab steps I added to my Trailhunter. These install in minutes so they are easy to remove when you head off road.

Does the Sherpa Rainier rack or the Roam case interfere with the satellite radio signal. I'm about to order a Rainier to replace the OEM rack and considered adding a box as well.
I would email [email protected] and inquire on the ETA for the springs. Their customer service was responsive. They couldn't give me an exact date, but indicated that it would be a minimum of three months. Also, not all springs and colors may be on backorder. For me it was the 821s in...
You would think Dobinsons would bring more into the US considering how popular these are. I ordered mine December 1 and they didn't deliver until the beginning of April. I had a local off road shop install for just shy of $600 for front and rear. Since they are on backorder you may be able to...
I estimate that it is close to 300 lb over stock with the Alucab canopy, Maxtrax, Hi Lift jack, bed molle panels, 3 gal Rotopax, OEM bed mat, Mountain Hatch tailgate table, and some recovery gear, etc. that resides in the back. I never measured the rear height when the truck was new but I did...
My Trailhunter LB sagged at least 1 1/4" of new in the rear after loaded with gear for vacation. This was enough that I think I bottomed out a time or two on the Canyonlands White Rim trail. I installed Dobinsons 822s in the front and 821v in the rear. That resulted in a center of hub to...
I will have a set of Trailhunter wheels, OEM Goodyear Wrangler Territory R/T 265/70R18 tires, lug nuts, but no TPMS available likely within a week. These are one year old with ~15K miles on them.
Yeah, hopefully we can meet sometime later this year. We can continue conversation of line as I have your email from previous discussions. Just FYI my Dobinson's 21 & 22s just arrived today after four month backorder so our truck will soon be aligned on springs.
Hello Bill,
So you decided to stay with 33" tires rather jump to 34" with the 285/75/17? What are you running C or E rated version?
Tires are on my list to address this summer. Trying to decide if I should stick with stock TH wheels and increase tire width and size or go the Method 703...
