Not going to lie I found this pretty bland. Big let down as I was expecting more. A better comparison between them all versus sales pitch. Explain the spherical bearings versus bushing, which are good for winter/salt, a better comparison between low speed and high speed compression, and explain digressive versus linear and how they react to terrain. Just my two cents
I would really appreciate your thoughts on the Dobinsons MRR vs Toytec Aluma Boss in regards to both general off road, and on road handling and comfort?
Between those 2. I would definitely recommend the MMR for more offroading. You can also adjust he MMR for daily driving too so that is more comfortable on road.
I'm buying a Toyota Tacoma soon and I'm interested in What would be the best Shock to purchase mid to high-end suspension setups w/ UCA's. I want to do overlanding with minor jumps/hitting whoops and rock crawling. I'm looking to run 33s with my build not looking to run 35s at all in the future. I've been looking at emu bp51s but I'd like to know if Icon or Kings would be the better choice. Any feedback would be absolutely amazing as I'm just starting to learn about Overlanding + suspension ect… 😁
OME lifts are more for heavy-load vehicles. But the BP-51s are actually pretty good for a normal-weight vehicle with just a lift. They do good for wheeling.
I love the video Only question so would you aim for the fox/king with adjustable or none adjustable I’m sure many people are looking at the option as well
Personally, I would some money and go with non-adjusters just because both Fox/Kings out of the box is great for on-road and off-road. The adjusters are for the more technical offroaders that do a lot of off-roading.
Realistically, how many miles would you have to put on your 6112 Bilsteins or Kings, if you don't wheel hard, before a rebuild or replacement is necessary?
@@Runnin4Tacos oh that sounds great, it would be really cool if you guys did a review/opinion video on them, I have been looking around and there aren’t too many out there. I would also be curious to how they compare to king and fox.
@@dirtytaco King and Fox is a well known racing brand that will be hard to compete with, That is why their pricing is high, but in return you get what you pay for. The quality of King and Fox is hard to beat.

I could only hear "shock baddie". I agree, they are baddies

Thanks for saving me half an hour
Great video Hugo. Always amazing to work with you for years with multiple projects and many more..🔥🔥

what about the Bp51, and what is the recommended nitrogen pressure in it?
Keep these rolling! Love the video! What are your thoughts on OME BP-51s?
OME lifts are more for heavy-load vehicles. But the BP-51s are actually pretty good for a normal-weight vehicle with just a lift. They do good for wheeling.
You mentioned that you using king shocks how many clicks on the adjuster if you driving in the road?
Good info fellas. Thank you.
Isn't the Dobinson considered Progressive Valving not Linear?
Yes
I love the video

Is it true that king suspension tend to blow up seal in cold weather?
We have not experienced that, And we have lots of kings around. We also live in Colorado.
How does the Toytec Aluma series fit in compared to these?
Aluma series does pretty wheel. We just flipped a Tacoma with Aluma series on it and after the recover, the strut was in great shape.
Realistically, how many miles would you have to put on your 6112 Bilsteins or Kings, if you don't wheel hard, before a rebuild or replacement is necessary?
Well for reference. We have had our king setup for 3 years and have not had to rebuild them.
Thoughts on Elka 2.5’s?
Elka's are pretty good. They actually ride pretty smooth on road. Have not been inside one offroad though.
Hugo… did you leave ToyTec??
I was wondering the same thing.
I did indeed
Now I am with my new family at R4T!
Are you still running locked offroad? And what do you think of those?
Yes, Our Taco is still running the Locked shocks. So far they are doing great. Just got back from a Baja Mexico trip and they did great.
