MartinDWhite 2004 DoubleCab 4x4 TRD build

Want to make another one of these? I've been annoyed for years with these husky liners...

 

Subbed for someone local to help me with the steering wheel shaft/play fix.

 

So I broke one of the rear OME springs....I am hard on equipment, so it not unexpected.

New springs are on order, same springs in fact. I looked at the allpro springs, but the OME are just cheaper and worked great for the many years I had them. If you go wheeling, stuff gets broken.

Airbags are also on order. The load on the rear of the truck changes so much, that a single strength rear spring was just to variable in the rear height. From empty to tent, to tent with gear, to trailer(s) to bikes. The rear was up and down 3 to 4 inches with different common loads. Air bags should allow that to be adjusted to always ride the right height. FireStone ride-rite bags (2304) with DayStar baskets should allow for full droop too. We will see how this setup performs.

As a side benefit, since I plan to air the bags separately, I will be able to level left to right at various camp sites with the airbags. No more need to stacking rocks or carrying leveling blocks.....I hope.
