The BJ hasn't been started all winter. The glow plugs are not plugged in either. So it's been sitting since last summer.
I put the battery on the charger and then put them both back into the BJ. It was around 60F outside. It cranked over a few times and then fired right up, smoked due to no glowplugs and then settled down and was running great. I love my 3B.

Dry goods are packed, maintenance is (mostly) done and we leave in a week. Still need to turn the fridge on, then grab my passport and head south!

Great choice in shocks, i have these on both my trucks and they transform the handling. Just make sure you spend some time dialing them in as the adjustments are really well suited so you can get the most out of the suspension. People get in my truck and think I have coil overs these are that good. For the fronts I have mine mounted up high on the inner fender. Sorry for the close up shot, I can get another early next week if you still need help. For the rears I have the piggy back mounts available from Dobinsons:

What's the mass/weight of the reservoirs?
I did the same, after checking fitment moved it around like 5 time.
60mm, don't know the weight.
Great that you have them installed. I'll post my settings for on road and off road later today once I'm back home.
Cheers, James
Thanks James.
I got your settings from your Sept 2025 post while searching through the forum. I will use these as a starting point (I know variables like weight etc makes a difference) and tune from there.
I do have one question. Installation instructions mentioned (in a video by Dobinson) to tighten the top nut on the front shock to the point where the black bushings should bulge out to the edge of the steel washers.
I tightened mine down to the point where I can't go any further but my bushings are not all the way to the Edge.
Care to share a pic of your installed front. I was thinking of using either using a metal washer or the alternate bushings they provided for a 4 runner / Fortuner.
RIP, Adam.
We finished an awesome LJ71 engine swap for him and his brother came to pick it up this morning and told me that Adam died just after Easter.
I’m devastated. One of best clients and was a super rad engine conversion after we shïtcanned the 2L-TE.
It was going to be his surf truck and weekend hanging out with his kids truck.
He never got to see it in person or drive it in person. I’m so fücking sad. He was 47.
