Bought these 2 camping trips ago and my wife doesn’t like air mattresses. Thought it would work for us but alas. Ikamper x-cover inflatable air mattress that covers both sides of the tent. If you order online you have to purchase 2. Asking $500 including an air pump for them. No issues, tears or...

Well not so fast there. I’m at 1600~ miles on my joints and just noticed an issue. Where the zerk fitting is the metal is domed and has grease leaking out the sides. Just ordered the bilstein uppers. I think I’m done. Will get these warrantied and sell them after I fix it. Ughh! The bilstein...

So I bought some Icon uppers with worn out delta joints from a customer at work, and he said he only had 15k on them and he said he was greasing them regularly. When I got them they were dry and rusted. I bought new joints and threw them in and made sure to submit the warranty info just in case...

Being the mechanic I am I’ve seen lots of aftermarket control arms wear out very prematurely. I have never once recommended anyone with a Toyota ifs to get a pair. The price is extreme and they wear out before the factory does on the regular. You can get away with not installing a set really...

It’s really hard to get a good pic of these as they want to look black. In person they look fantastic. These are my third set of wheels on the truck as well. Couldn’t resist… Also make sure you get black ET style lug nuts for them. Method sent me those nasty chrome jobbies and they had to go...

I’ve been running the Arb flat rack with their awning mounts. We’ve got an Arb 2000x2500 awning with room and an IKamper x-cover on it. Perfect size for both of them and no noise or issues having them both up there.

You’re gonna want to do the 1.2” max. I’d bet the 1.6 is gonna be too high. I’m running 1.5 rear springs that settled to about 1” with the weight I’m running and I’ve got my front 5100’s set to 1.8 and it’s just about level. A tiny bit nose down but really not noticeable.

Im purely basing all this off the correct load to psi and my tires at 35 psi will carry the load required. They feel great anywhere from 32-40 psi. When I ran my Ko2’s at 35 for about 28k miles the middle wore about a 32nd more than the edges. So 35 is totally in the ball park for even wear for...

Just got off the phone with Dunlop/Goodyear and the load our tires hold at 32 psi is 1590lbs. That’s before you derate them with the 1.1 calculation. I’d say we need to be around at least 1600lbs on a load inflation table. So with my 255/75/17 KM3’s at 35psi I’m rated at 1890 so 32-35psi is...

So I’ve been going over this for a while running 255/75/17 KM3’s and the only thing that I have not been able to find on any load inflation table is the correct oem tire. We have 113xl they inflate to 51 psi max not 35 that’s a huge difference. I figured calculating with the 1.1 we should be...
