    Minimum lift & softer suspension

    Biggest ride upgrade for me was going from 2" shocks to 2.5" shocks with adjustment. My set up is similar to yours (drawers, bumpers winch etc). I run Icon 3" springs up front and Dobinsons VVT 3.5" in the rear. It rides pretty nice for a 25 year old truck.

    What suspension should I go with on my 80 series FZJ80?

    Dobinsons is good, particularly if you plan to add weight. Icon is also good, and affordable, but isn't as suited to a heavy rig. Their systems do ride nice though.

    It is rad. But it doesn't have the WAL-E robot ship Capitan look. I'll probably get one for my rig though :)

    Builds Continued Adventures of Sweet Brown

    Its specifically for the Oregon Trophy Challenge race. About half of it occurs at night and requires a lot of map and direction reading. Last year we used regular headlamps and found the constant white light made it harder to see the course.

    I am really happy with mine. Was a weld together kit from Relentless Fabrication. Not sure if it's available anymore though.

    For those who have had the OEM roof rack holes welded

    Are people removing the plastic rails that are on each little hump too or just the metal outer rails?

    Power Steering Reservoir Cap Rebuild

    🤷‍♂️ not everyone wants to spend $26 and wait for it when they can spend less than $5 and have it done sooner. In this case I had already gotten a new cap but wanted to see what the result would be. I'm big into fixing and repairing things myself versus tossing them and buying new. I teach my...

    Power Steering Reservoir Cap Rebuild

    It did seem to resolve that issue on my truck.

    Anyone running the 3" DVS arms on a 2.5" Dobinsons lift?

    Realized no one was addressing your other questions: I think the panhard bracket would be fine but it may not be needed with a 2.5" lift. The goal with the rear panhard bar is to have it be as level as possible at ride height. Best bet here is to drive the tuck and see. If you go over humps in...

    Anyone running the 3" DVS arms on a 2.5" Dobinsons lift?

    I have the 4" arms on a 3" lift (DVS didn't have 3" arms at the time). It works great. Can't see the extra half inch difference you're looking at being an issue
