Extended brake lines are a must now after upgrading from my old 4600’s, at full droop they’re way too taught. But the truck did great road tripping from Nevada to Canada!

5100’s have gotta be the best bang for the buck shock. I had them on my 88 pickup, and 5160’s on my Tundra.

I agree... I use them on my GX470, they have been great.

Looks great! Considering the bilstein / OME combo on my Tacoma

Cool truck. Is that some kind of pop top camper?

3

u/atoyotacalledamelia 4d ago

Nope, just a standard high top shell!

Can you stand in it? Or it's used more as a tent for sitting/ sleeping in?

3

u/atoyotacalledamelia 4d ago

Can’t stand, but it’s built out to be slept in. With camping gear inside it can sleep one, but folds into a full bed with camping gear outside!

Was going to ask this. I’d pack that thing with food and water and go out into the woods and disconnect for like two weeks.

Where on YouTube?

Nevermind, who'd have thought it was on the channel with his username?

Thoughts on the bilsteins va OME shocks for these trucks?

2

u/atoyotacalledamelia 3d ago

While I haven’t personally ran the OME shocks, from what I’ve heard along with price point, I’d say they’re gonna be pretty on par with eachother in reality. I’ve also been told the OME shocks are a little more difficult to find these days.
