BP-51 for the 80 Series

[cruiseroutfit]

Pair these shocks with Dobinsons tapered coils so I can swing by and check em out!

Totally doable. We sell/stock Dobinson parts too!

A few more 80 BP-51's showed up. Many already have a home, a few don't

So much want, sigh. Prob next year, i have a hunt to spend a lot of money on.

The first fit kits have arrived to the US and all of our current back orders are shipping today

We have a couple of the L variety shock sets available as of today, I think we have just one set of the 0-2.5" shocks available.

Who needs shock?

Hey Kurt was that you in the Landcruiser video for TFLtruck?

It was. I had no clue what kind of following those gents have, neat guy. We were running a media event for Toyota Corp using their new 2019 TRD Pro Fleet. We had ~13 journalists that spend all day behind the wheel of the Pro's, fun times!

Sorry if I missed it...these are 2.5" body shocks, right? What is the OD of the shaft?

OD of body is 73mm
ID aka piston is 51mm
Shaft is 19mm

Nope, pretty legit for a rebuildable shock.

these have been available for the 200's for a few years now. First release had noise issues, which ARB addressed. Anyhow, I've not read about anyone rebuilding these yet. Any details on rebuilding, anything special, anyone shop special or pretty straight forward to be done at local speed shops.
thanks

I saw the video, and all I could think was, "Man, he looks nothing like his avatar on MUD"

I attended product training on the BP-51 a few months back with ARB in Washington. We will be getting setup to rebuild them for our customers in house.

Fwiw I have one of the first sets of BP-51's in the US on my personal 200, they've been installed for nearly 3 years. Love them!

lol

You'd be amazed how often I've heard that at events

I love the set on my 200 series. Someone on here surely has these installed by now right? We need some reviews!

We've shipped a handful of sets so I expect to see some installed pics soon.

Oh, and we're putting some on today here in the shop

Any pics to share post install?

 

[cruiseroutfit]

The install is going smoothly

Front is complete

Rear is almost done

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Rear is complete

Going for a test drive now!

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Initial drive impressions are great... though it needs some tuning. Bryson was in a hurry to get home to a dinner part so he'll have to tinker with it over the weekend. Fortunately it takes a few minutes per corner to adjust

 

[Overland Tailor]

Got my fronts on tonight and just waiting to get some rear hardware sorted.
