  1. so I just got off the phone with dobinsons, for those interested...the front springs are 202 lbs/in c45-168. and rear springs are 174 lbs/in c45-169. so question for those running them. Are the fronts topping out the struts ?

  2. Personally, I find the video incomplete. It sounds like IronMan tried to engage the owner but he wasn’t interested in providing them information. If I were them, I’d probably be done there too. I wish we had a write up with the actual facts. Consequently, if the IronMan springs are coming, I’d wait to get too worried as I’m not convinced you won’t be okay or that IronMan won’t back their product up. That said, no real reason not to go with the Dobinsons. Personally, I very much dislike IronMan’s vivid green.

  3. Finally got through to my local Nissan dealership, and it looks like 1) They never sold the end caps separately because 2) the rack was an optional accessory, therefore they only sold the whole kit. It's all good though, I'm gonna be keeping an eye out on any new R50 listings in my local JYs. Thanks though!

  4. Yeah I’m getting new OEM rubber seats also. I did check out the insulators as well and after seeing the price for them I decided I might just reuse the old ones. But now that you said you’ve used these instead and they are doing the job fine, I think I might just get them also. Thanks for sharing that info. Much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  5. Just go to his build thread - it’s highlighted on post#90 - though there is some foreshadowing earlier in the thread. In fact, he had to try a few shops before he got one that could do it correctly - and it turned out they didn’t either. I’d recommend anybody take the strut alignment picture from [mention=1343]XPLORx4[/mention] with them to the shop as that error has been documented several times in this forum. In this small world, [mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention] was at my place when [mention=41986]zakzackzachary[/mention] got hold of us. I’ve since actually visited the exact spot of the failure on the WABDR. Do as you see fit, just trying to help & keep everybody safe. One of the best aspects of this forum is everyone’s candid descriptions of their struggles, triumphs & failures. No reason to make the same mistakes twice.

  6. It’s addressed in better mechanical detail in other threads but [mention=41986]Zakzackzachary[/mention] documents his failure due to leaving it out in his thread (Post#90). The struts alone have several instances of documented incorrect installation by garages in NPORA - in reviewing the above thread, I note he had trouble with some local shops as well. I’ve been passing along@XPLORx4 strut alignment pic for years now as that’s another common error. I would double check any shop’s work, especially for such a safety essential component.
