Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

I'm running virtually the same configuration. Only difference is I added a 3° axle shim to mine when I installed.

Great value for the price. Only niggle I have with them is that they don't add leaf spring isolators in all the leaves, so unless treated they will squeak.

 

its a great pic of jakes rig!!! be thankful he whores it out, he didn't even re post the one i took of him in moab testing out his SAS setup and it was a pretty epic photo i will verify that his springs have a face big time. I love my Dakars and will be adding in a toytec AAL at some point because well its thicker than the OME AAL so should preform better with the extra weight of a bed rack and RTT.

this is the photo jake


you seem to sit pretty level (MAYBE SLIGHTLY LOW IN REAR) in this photo during RT 2016 though

 

Man it has not been that long since i took the topper of but damn does it look funny with the topper now.

 

My deavers seem to flex and hold weight great. Stock shackle setup still.

Loaded:

 

It doesn't even look like Jake is SAS in the last one

 

He's not its photoshopped





Jk @3378jakesr5

 

I am

 

Ha I know, taking a closer look I can see the support bar thing (forgot what its called)

 

Lower control arm...

 

Some last minute packing for a last minute trip to the southern Sierra's.

 

Ok quick poll on the bed side stiffeners, how many would be in for them if they were 140$ +shipping? Dont think many but lets see

 

I would like lesser

 

Of course you would!!! Can never please you!!!

 

Those bed reinforcements cost how much?

 

Yah. Thats why im not going to partake in this.... Ill set it up if there is that much interest but that number or up to -10$ from that is all you would see...

 

You could make them for well under half that. Go find a local fab shop and tell them to bend some 2in wide 1/4in plate and drill a couple holes.

Better yet just put a ratchet strap across the bed and pull the bed sides in. You'll have to unhook it a lot but that's like $5 for a strap

 

Thats why im out.

 

PSA: Guys just because somebody slaps an Expo tag on it doesn't mean the price should triple.

 

But but but but arb!! Expo points, EAF, tacti cool
