    Changed out the sagging rear suspension. Picked up some used 5100’s and 3rd gen leafs w/3 leaf AAL from @kmorgan3 earlier this summer, been sitting in my garage waiting for a rainy weekend to install. Gained about 2” after install. Pretty good rake going now, but will be putting 6112’s up front soon that will hopefully even it out a bit. 99EC1C8A-CE9E-4C7D-9880-2A4E1CC331F2.jpg

    Went from this ⬇️

    To this

    When we decided to get a roof top tent, I new I wanted it to be fast deploy and able to hold the bedding and as light-ish and low as possible, but able to carry the kayaks if needed too, as the wife loves kayaking. So we settled on the two channel CVT Mt Hood medium.

    But when I ordered it, I knew I was gonna pull my Front Runner roof racks and just use two 48” 1020 8020 extruded aluminum slats and low profile (1/2”) feet from prinsu. Apparently I had it in my head that they came in sets of 4 or something so the week of our Moab adventure


    the shit arrived and I didn’t have enough feet. I needed 2 pairs of feet from the load bars to the tent and 2 pairs of feet from the tracks on my camper shell to the load bars. Since I didn’t order enough, I had to use feet from my front runner roof rack.

    As such the tent was about 4 1/2” above the cab. Which was ridiculous. Those feet were 2 7/8”. The new ones are 1/2” so the tent is now a bit lower which I love. The tent is 1 1/2” over the shortened shark fin antenna and 2 1/2” over the cab.


    But from personal experience hard wheeling I know that bed only flexes about an inch independently from the cab.



    So I may ending up fabbing an even lower profile solution. Although now I can fit my arm under there to check bolts and I may not be able to do that logically with a lower profile set up.

    Keeping the tent nice and tight looks and should perform better! The 8020 is good stuff

    I swapped my front coil springs out and installed grease fittings on my LCAs.

    So after a lot of thought and probably tons of unnecessary calculations I decided to pick up these coils and try them out. They should set me right about stock height, which I prefer.

    Zerk fittings!


    Coilovers out, shocks aren’t too dirty. Still ugly white though.


    New coil springs next to the outgoing model, those are Dobinsons C59-238 coils. (14.75” free height and 586lbs/inch rate)


    No better opportunity than now to remedy the colour choice!


    Much better!



    Installed some Superbumps while I was under there, just in case I need them.

    One year birthday present for my grey goat, bumpers front and rear with a winch, put on the skids I've been holding onto, as well as swapped the chrome grille for a painted one. 20211023_174153.jpg 20211023_161608.jpg 20211023_174206.jpg

    Finished sanding the passenger headlight bezel. The driver side bezel is the last piece remaining before I drop everything off at the paint shop. Finally back at the retrofit project after a 7 month break. Should have just paid someone lol

    I've been doing lots of exploring lately. Now I've been thinking about new suspension since the 5100s can only handle 30+ mph on rough roads for so long...

    Used Vleds max pods, had to drill two more holes in the fiberglass, sealed them and threaded them down nice and tight. They are super bright!
