Not saying the Dobbies don’t break in or sag too. I just like the ride better
Does that make me the Chevy guy of FJ60 suspension??

Maybe the dobinsons isn't for me. The worst years of my life were spent in a Ford.
Dobinsons is now the Kia of Land Cruisers??? We're in the deep end of the pool now, and y'all are peeing in it!I was going to say Kia
Hardly. I'm just saying comparing Dobinsons and OME are like having a Chevy vs Ford debate around the campfire, nether are Toyota. We see similar warranty rates, lean/rake and shock failure issues between the two. All super minor but less than Toyota parts fwiw.
I need to copy your new wheel setup big dawg. I will probably end up running a TRUE 34 instead though
@HemiAlex , just finished reading all 45 pages. thanks for what i view as a real world account of all the trials n victories of 60, or race tractor, ownership. it's certainly helping me to look past the nigglin' little worries i've got running around in my head as far as daily driver use. way to keep after it mister

Thanks. I want to let people know it’s not serious to drive one daily and you eventually get to a place of zen if you follow the FSM.
Planning and patience. That’s all.
I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere.

I’m in the same boat. 8 months of daily driving with same lift, 5 speed and a 270k mile tired 2F. Almost 8000 miles in the last year.
Looking good.
Last week I did ca. 1100 mile round trip from AL-LA-AL and will do something similar but with more miles next week. My odo rolled over 490xxx last trip and by the end of summer it'll be >500,xxx. Land Cruisers were built to be driven.

We're kindred spirits. I view my 60 as a tool, not a collectible.
I've taken it on serious field jobs cross country to inspect things that are literally out of this world (NDA, sorry) and I would do it again.
you can count me in on the tool, not collectible part. all my trucks have been form follows function. not about to change that

It mostly leveled it. I’ve got a tiny bit of rake but if I put about 250 lbs it would be even. Perfect. I’m very happy

I also did oem belts. My last set was from 2018 and I had out 50,000 miles on them. I had a random intermittent chirp from a belt delaminating.
It’s dead quiet now.

I'll just leave this here.
At what RPM does the turbo on the 2F kick in?

5000. Forbidden turbo.
