    Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

    Are you sure it's not caster that is a bit off? If your camber is off, it absolutely will impact tire wear.

    Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

    Thanks Mike for all the help placing my order! As others here have said, your responsiveness and the information you provide is extremely helpful. I am currently running Fat Bob's Garage adjustable coilovers built around Bilstein 5100s in the front, and Wheeler's t13 with 5100s in the rear...

    I'm using this mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CEODQI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I replaced the u-bolts with straight, stainless steel bolts. Used fender washers and nylock nuts. Works great.

    I have had this rack for about 6 months now? Maybe a little less.. The powder coat sucks. It's really brittle and peels off. I am trying to be proactive by using Rustoleum flat black primer/paint when I notice the coating is wearing. That will prevent rust if you stay on top of it. Mounting...

    About 2 months, I think mostly because of customs inspections. The company is really responsive and they want to help. The distance and shipping make for a frustrating experience, however. Some of the cuts on the rack are a little rough, and parts are inconsistent. To give an example, my first...

    They are sending a new one out. Very good customer service with Ecotechne - I know it's a bit of a pain because it's international.. They need legit distribution in the US with some onhand stock and I think they would be successful. Got to go out exploring a bit today after getting everything...

    After starting to bend these back into place in convinced this didn't happen in shipping. When I bend it the powdercoating comes right off in the area. This was damaged prior to powdercoating. A replacement would be much appreciated!

    My tray got banged around quite a bit - some of the slots meant for anchor points are bent in really well. There was a lot of damage to the powder coat as well, probably due to DHL unpacking and repacking.. The only worry I have is that the tray mounting points aren't going to last because the...

    Any chance your ladder moved to another city today? My rack move to a completely different city, DHL still says it's undergoing customs review..

    My address is correct - they also reached out to me. DHL says it's stuck in customs. They don't celebrate President's Day in Venezuela tho.. It's because the country is falling apart and there is probably only 1 customs guy left in the whole country.

    Turns out mine was shipped on the 7th, Rorck was on vacation and simply was unable to forward tracking information. Arrival should be on the 19th. I'll probably install it same day.. Really excited to get this, will report back with pics!

    I still haven't heard anything about my order that was supposed to ship in a week, nor have I received a response to either off the two emails I sent over the past 3 days. :(

    To clarify - I don't mind waiting, I just hate having an expectation of something that is completely wrong. If it's a month wait I'm ok, tell me a month.. If we speak and I find there is some delay I'm ok with that, just want clear communication and a realistic expectation.
