Cool build you got going on. What up with the rear rake though??

 

[Hepar]

Man, I just love how much a bumper changes the looks of these things. Rig looks sick.

 

[scrap metal]

Nice Rig!

What are your opinions on ride quality between your old ome 890s and the newer Toytec Superflex in the rear?

Im thinking of selling my 890s and getting the superflex... worth it?

On a recent trip I had 3 kayaks on the roof. Cargo packed to the brim. And 3 passengers... the 890s were way too soft for that and even unloaded during Daily driving they seem soft... whats your opinion?
