    Been waiting for an update.

    I want a CO2 can for my RV. Id rather carry a small can that needs no power to air up tires before a tow.

    Here's the rubber ones I put on today. They seem to do the trick so far.

    Thanks. How long did it take?
    Did you do one bolt at a time?
    Did you only loosen, cut the washer and insert?
    Did you place the washer against the frame?
    Did you put a washer on the joint point bolt?

    Started to install my DD 42" LED lightbar from Hotshot Offroad. Just need to plumb the wiring, aim it, and tighten everything down.

    Not sure at this point.
    It’s a whole hell of a lot faster to air up with a tank than a compressor.

    I have an eBay knock off of the TRD skid but it's basically the same thing. I removed it entirely and placed the rubber washers so they sandwich between the skid n frame..
    20240914_110012.jpg

    I removed both my skids just to do an oil change and add the Fumoto Valve. Figured this was a good time to add the washers. It's pretty simple. Easier if you got someone helping you put it back on. Alone it took me I'd say maybe an hour for just the skid but I did a few other things in between. Removing and putting it back on.

    Anybody here running the Jomax TSS bracket? If so, how's that working for you? Do you ever get any error codes at all?

    I heard Zerex Asian is just as good. But I ended up buying a OE 50/50 jug for $29.

    Old post I know. But which Dobinsons are on the 4Runner that ride like shit? Local 4x4 shop to me uses their stuff like it’s the best in the universe.

    I went with the heavy duty coils to add bumpers and winch in the future. Without the extra weight they ride stiff. Once I add the swing out tire carrier, sliders, skid plates(installed), and front bumper with a winch, the ride will improve. I also just removed the sway bars and the ride has improved considerably.

    Dobinsons is high quality suspension. You just have to choose the correct springs for your weight/application.

    1700 mile road trip last week from VA thru WV to KY and back towing ~3500lbs. Went pretty smooth with the airbag helpers set 18psi and had the trans t-stat pinned open. SG3 helped in monitoring trans temps. Got pretty good at using the go-pedal to get the trans to drop to 4th and let the torque converter lock up to keep trans temps lower going up the long steep grades in southern WV and eastern KY.

    Finished the 42" DD Stage Series light bar with the "Perfect Mounts" from Hotshot Offroad, well mostly finished. Still have some wire harness management to do, and while I was fishing the wire harness behind the grille, I took the opportunity to put some loom over the front camera wires and clean that up as well. I don't have a rivnut tool and my son's die for his is too small to finish the Rago Fabrication compressor mount, so I will go visit a friend after work tomorrow and finish routing the wiring harness.

    I didn't realize that the switches are keyed to certain spots on the dash, I was going to move the rear window switch over to the right side of the steering wheel, and put the light bar switch under the headlight leveling switch. Annoying. I definitely think I will do a SwitchPro at some point if I have more stuff to control. I may also redo the switch wiring for the light bar if I don't go to a SwitchPro, as I would rather have it behind ignition circuit so it only works when the engine is running and the illumination tied to the dash lights. It was a hassle because for some reason I cannot get the harness to unclip from the Cali Raised LED switch I got, and didn't want to break it.

    After many years I finally did the "all auto" switch mod. I don't know why I waited so long to do this!!! One of those things that absolutely should have been standard on these trucks, especially the higher trims.

    Took 3 weeks to get, 5 minutes to install, and is the best $ spent on a simple but rewarding mod.
