Last week I picked up my FJ62 from Valley Hybrids after a much anticipated suspension upgrade along with a few other much needed repairs. While I don’t post much, I do visit this site quite a bit since pulling my truck out of storage and noticed there was a lack of threads on the dobinsons suspension kits. I looked at all the (non-custom)options available, made a few calls, gathered info and ordered the dobinsons kit way back in September. At the same time I reserved a spot to have it installed with Valley Hybrids. Unfortunately delays getting things from Australia caused me to cancel my order and look at other options. I looked in more detail at other options and couldn’t get myself to “compromise”. Not wanting to lose my spot I kept my scheduled appointment to do the T-case, and fix the sloppy shifter. I then made another appointment for a couple months out while I continued my search for a suspension kit. Thankfully I gave Mike at Exit Off-road a call. Mike was great, had a ton of knowledge on different options and let me know he had a shipment coming in that would allow me to keep my appointment. To my surprise he even told me of an option that wasn’t even on his site yet. With that, I ordered a full kit with medium springs, the new 3-way adjustable MRR (monotube remote reservoir) shocks as well as the new adjustable monotube steering damper. Everything arrived in plenty of time. Valley Hybrids installed the kit, did my knuckles, redid the front brakes, redid the exhaust (from the cat back) and a few other items. Overall I couldn’t be happier with Exit Off-road, Valley Hybrids and the ride. Enough of that, here are a few pictures:
