Thank you so much for the kind words and support.

Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain Tamer

I just received my Terrain Tamer kit for my 78 FJ40. Now I just need to make time to install it!!

@BullHab I had decided not to update my springs under a recent series of big upgrades. Questioning the wisdom of that decision since I am driving it so much more. I will be looking forward to your review among the many I have read so far. I am not a rock crawler but I live on a long dirt road and enjoy riding a few fire trails around here. Some of the potholes are not even a bounce but a hit and you feel it. I might describe it like a high end turntable that has locking screws used for shipping but…you remove them when your playing records and the spring action is restored…My truck feels like they never removed the shipping screws . I dont recall any of my other Fj40’s riding like this

My dirt road is jarring enough that the reality of a smoother bounce is starting to gain popularity in my head again. Just getting the mail each day can be an adventure …imagine that?

You should check out this video Bill Dragoo posted on YouTube. He actually ran a 3-part series about the Terrain Tamer parabolic suspension kit installation on his 40 but she completed well over a year ago. Bill is retired and completely independent. So he’s merely posting his opinion and thoughts about the kit and installation.
Obviously, there are plenty of others who’ve expressed their satisfaction with the right quality of these kits. But he’s a great example. We’ve also installed dozens of these kids here at our shop and end result is always a happy customer. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I'll let you know how the new kit works out. I'm really hoping that it works as advertised.

Plan to be installing the new terrain tamer springs tomorrow and maybe Saturday if I need the time. I'll try and get some pictures and some follow up thoughts but I'm pretty darn excited to have these on.

Another happy customer!

Sits nice and level, rides much smoother, and nice complete kit. Rear axle definitely came forward compared to the old ranchos.

Now I have to find a way to mount the steering damper to my Saginaw/1 ton linkage...

I do wish it came in a 4" though...

Thanks Georg and TT!
