Dobinson MRR set up

Right now I have the front set at Rebound 3, LS 6, HS 5. Rear Set at Rebound 2, LS 3, HS 2. Probably will play around a little more but this has been very good so far..

I attached pictures of the drivers front and one with where I drilled and tapped for the hose clamps.

 

You da man! Thanks for posting these numbers and pictures. Truck looks sweet! I see that you went for a lighter spring rate. I'll have 111 (medium) leafs in the rear and 352 coils up front. It will be interesting to see what everyone comes up with for adjustment settings. I'll report back after the shocks are installed and broken in.

 

My package came in today, waiting on the dirt king ucas on Tuesday before I start...

@Crikeymike , what adjustment would you recommend for mostly hwy driving and occasional light trails???

@jstemp , how are you liking it so far??

 

So far I'm really liking the setup. Even the guy that did my alignment commented on the smoth ride during his test drive.

We went for a short weekend camping trip and I was loaded with around 300 lbs plus the RTT. Turned the adjusters up 2 clicks HS and 1 LS over what I was running and it just floated down the road.

I guess the next thing will be longevity. There doesn't seem to be too much data out there.

 

I suggest to start with what the recommended settings the flyer inside there lists for the Hilux Vigo and Revo and then adjust up or down from there. Some other people started in the "middle" and went up or down from there, but most will tend to be on the lighter side of all the adjustment settings for daily driver use.

The low speed adjustment, keeping it on the lower side, will make the most difference to ride comfort on the highway.

 

I may upgrade to these MRRs soon @Crikeymike!

 

Hell yeah!!

 

After @gixxerphil installs his MRRs, I'm gonna take a ride in his truck and make up my mind. I was going to get some Kings, Radflos or Fox, but I think I'll give your MRRs a shot, since I'm really happy with my current suspension from you!

 

I got the IMS. I think they are the same as the MMR minus the resi's.

 

Yeah, same body, but without any valving adjustment and no external hose or resi.

 

I’ve read on other forums that these aren’t really rebuildable like Kings, Fox, Icon, etc....

I’m also reading they have a lifetime warranty but you have to send them back to Australia?

Anyone know the real details.

 

Nope, those are both rumors, rumors that I've not heard of before. They're just as rebuildable as any other shock, and they have a 2 year warranty covered here in the USA. The main distribution center for the USA is here in Miami.

Just googled "rebuild Dobinsons MRR" and 2 videos pop up right away showing how to do it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZBxP47-iVY

 

How much does this kit run? Is it better than the bilstein 6112 setup? @Crikeymike can pm if ya want

 

Pricing is here, depending how you build the kit: https://exitoffroad.com/product/dob...n-kit-for-2005-to-2020-tacoma-4x4-double-cabs

6112's are basic monotubes, except with a bigger body size, not rebuildable, not adjustable, limited coil options, so they're almost not comparable at all.

 

Thanks. I do like the look, I'll do more research. I plan on ordering a full kit next month.

 

Thanks for the clarification... The front coilovers look great, just wish there was a rear option with a RR. Maybe in the future they will have one available.

 

The Rear MRA has a RR with adjusters. Or are you looking for nonadjustable?

go to the link crikeymike posted. It gives you option to pick what you want.. my choice was 1k more than I want to spend... but I'll probably spend it.

 

I just found those on the website... Thanks!

 

Finally got around to installing the set up I got from @Crikeymike

Feels great, like night and day compared to the stock Fox suspension.
