Alabama thread!

Morning everybody, I like my mid grade Dobinsons ride better than my stock leaves with blocks.

 

Another positive Dobinson's review! Are you the one that had one of your leaf packs go missing for a few weeks? I sure hope all of my kit shows up in the mail today. It's coming via Fedex...

 

They are a lot of good guys in here and it is always fun to ride, camp and get to know them better. I have made a lot of friends on here in a lot of different states that I would have never meet.

 

For those of you that got the Dobinsons, how many greasable bolts did you order. I only ordered 2. I'm wondering if I should have bought more.

 

I got that opportunity in Moab last year. Met some cool guys from TW.

 

The mod bug has bitten again.

 

I love riding in Moab

 

0. They can be a weak point.

 

Can’t wait to get out there again.

 

Me too

 

It hit as soon as I bought the damn thing I drove my TJ for 9yrs with no mods.

I'll go every year now.

Why's that? This will be the first suspension I have ever dealt with, so type like you're telling a kid

 

I’m the one that didn’t know they required a signature and never could get fedex to let me know when they’d be, went home a couple days to meet. Long list of things trying to get them but finally got lucky and my mom signed for them.

I only got the one set in the kit need one more, the only reason I want one more is replace my factory spring hangers with archive garages kit and only one set will fit on the back. My bushings are squeaking now cause I need another set of pins

 

Yes they can, a hollow bolt is not as strong

 

I got an extra set so I'd have them in both the front and the rear. This will help keep the squeekies away. I had asked @Crikeymike about these and he's never seen any failures from them, even from the guys that wheel in Australia. Those guys can be pretty rough on their vehicles, so if it's good enough for their environment, they're good enough for ours too!

 

Looks like I will buy new bolts. I'm not too concerned with squeaks. The Tacoma is so much more quiet than a soft top TJ

I'll have to do some studying on them.

 

Oh no! I can’t even imagine! I don’t I ow if your religious but I will definitely keep you in my prayers bud! I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope that they can get you back into shape quicker than expected! Had a good time riding with you the couple of times we did! Keep us updated!

 

We're gonna make a Moab trip one of these days!

It has bitten indeed!

Well, I hope all of mine arrives today.

 

While I cant say their failure rate is any greater i have seen two different ones break. May just be a freak thing.

 

I guess it's a mod date tomorrow! What time you wanna do this? I don't know if @newdles wanted to ride down and install his or not?

 

That's another good point. I suppose it's like everything else. I'll just need to read up and make a decision. I'm not a hardcore offroader.....just a camper than wants that "Aussie" look
