    Tim, when you finish the SAC and make it up north, this is the park i'll try to get us into. It's a private park, but one of the best in the country. I'm usually only able to get in once a year, when i help teach an off road driving course, but i may be able to get us a spot another time. I've run the upper portion of this trail. to be honest, i didn't know this lower portion existed until i saw the photo. Now finish your truck :D

    I am not aware of any that bolt into oem except the baja rack, but you can run some yakama racks on the oem bars. I really don't think custom brackets would be hard to make at all

    looks like his bump stop will take care of things as long as he's got a retainer on the bottom. all of the land rover guys I wheel with (who haven't gone to coilovers) have far more drop than their coils do. all you need is a retainer on one side to hold the spring (usually to the axle), and then a cone on the frame to recenter it as the suspension compresses again.

    here's a rover "cone" this one happens to have a hook as well

    [​IMG]

    and here's the retainer on the axle to hold it in place at full drop.

    I used a similar principal when I linked the trailer. never had an issue with the springs not landing centered back on the adjustable collars.

    That's what's up I'm gonna mention that to my buddy Rob. He's linked front and rear on a ZJ and he's always loosing springs on the trail. He's thinking about welding on limit straps but those hooks are way more convenient.

    It's this guy^

    My buddy Matt in his linked samurai could use them too for his rear. byjuny8y_c84c4aae0131b527246b8e4ef43c4256aa1cb663.jpg
