Hi gang,
Been lurking for a bit, looks like a good place, I came over from Expedition Portal due to more to the point dialogue. I just put down some funds for a new ATC Bobcat, loaded including solar for my 05 Tacoma. Looks like an install date of 9/10/09. I am running a TRD Supercharger, exhaust, ECU re-map. etc. I am also running Camburg 2.5" coilovers with Icon A-arms in the front, Alcan springs with Icon reservoir shocks in the back.
What I am wondering is that since I have the reservoirs on the frame above the shock, will this placement interfere with the install of Firestone Ride-rite Airbags and because of the possibility of that, should I go with my Timbrens which are new in the box or Supersprings? The photos I see of the air bags shows them as mounted on the outside of the frame, right where the steel braided line goes across to the shock reservoir.
I see so much varying opinion on what method to stabilize the back end and I am not convinced as to what is the best way to go on a Tacoma. Also, is anyone using a backup camera with these campers? It sure looks like a good idea to me but I like opinions on this too.
Basically, I am replacing my Snugtop Super sport shell with this setup because I am going to be pretty much living out of my truck for the next 18 months in doing a nationwide documentary and lodging would nuke my savings.
So that is it for now, let me know what you folks think.
