    the one time I went down for EJS every trail I was on I had to wait for a line of jeeps to do major obstacles or just by pass them to keep a decent pace. I hate sitting at every ledge and waiting for people to go that's why I never have any good pictures. We just roll through stuff and spot each other via CB.

    Edit: also it's nice going down at end of the Nissan guys deal cuz im not much of a fan of Nissan so it's like I get to kick em out of BFE even though they are leaving anyways.

    I will be linking soon and will stay at 26-27 I like the height a little more u travel will be nice but the hydraulic bumps will help control the 5" or so that's there now....
    I have coilovers up front just removed the hardware and run it leafs till I link...

    Dual purpose is what I'm doing it won't be a race truck I've had and built those and if you want to crawl you won't catch it in the whoops and nasty....too much articulations kills it off even with mild sway bars....

    So good in whoops and nasty but great on the rocks.....
    Will take a smidge more height....


    I'll take a pic of a jeep (4dr jk rubicon) at my shop on coilovers its 2 to 3 inches taller ally heavier, 116wb 20" to frame and 17 to big diff cover that goes from side to side and a couple feet long....but still plenty capable off camber...our Toyotas are a lot more versed for this stuff from the get go.....

    Used to be several solid axle race trucks back in the day granted they ran for vertical travel and less articulation there were some that worked amazing and faster than hell...leaf sprung at that...I've seen some rock district 38 power line road which is a true test of what works...lol I've had a yard sale there before front end all over...

    His truck looks good....love watching suspension work....

    If you can get him below 3k that would be a smoking deal, provided there isn't rust hidden everywhere. That's the elusive EFI and factory SFA truck.

    $4500. Dobson is about 35 min from me. I wish I had more room and I'd keep the truck. In 10 years you wont be able to find these at all. Already hard to find one that hasn't rusted away..
