Trailhunter Coil Hydraulic Stops are FOX

Thought this was kinda interesting - Trailhunter boasts the Old Man Emu but the spring perches & hydraulic stops stamped Fox. A blend of the TRD PRO stock & that ARB gucci....



Suspension is definitely squishy on the TH; I expect 1-2" of sag with a GFC V2 PRO mounted on the long bed + my ~3-5 day gear payload.

Ordered a Timbren SES Suspension Enhancement System - Truck Camper Kit, it's a 30 minute driveway install. Def not for serious off-roading but it'll address squat and the 90% of baja/winter/washboard/service road travel this truck will see. Your SBD will be extremely rough ride with this kit, but a heavy duty spring replacement will alter the ride quality as well so flip a coin, payload vs those taller knobby treads, can't have it all, at some point a Trailhunter is no longer a Trailhunter if it keeps going in for that Gucci botox upgrade.

Optimistic tho my GFC & gear is light enough that I can run the TH stock & return the SES within it's 100 day satisfaction guarantee.

I had an Ice Cap Trailhunter pull up next to me at a stoplight yesterday. My first impressions were the good looking OEM wheels. Toyota needs to give the wheel designer a bonus.

Knowing that the owner most likely paid $5k+ over MSRP (SoCal area), close to $70k, was a bit of sticker shock.

I would imagine the coils are not made by fox but what you are seeing is the mount for the hydraulic bumpstop. This mount sits just under the spring isolator on the pro.

Yeah thats just a screw on cap over where the Fox bump stops sit on the Pro models. After market stuff should be coming along from various companies soon which will be nice to just thread on.

Trailhunter does not have the springs in the rear it should have. Its a vehicle designed to carry weight, yet my tent and camping gear make it squat pretty bad in the rear. I have a airlift kit I never used that I am going to attempt to make work for the rest of the season. Hopefully Dobinson launches some stiffer springs soon. My truck is going to be gaining a lot of weight in the next 3 months.

I just saw that @gofastdan found that Dobinson's LC300 springs fit Tacomas:

Do you think they would work for Trailhunter too?

That is excellent news. I put air springs on mine last night, which arent ideal but will work for now. In December/January when the truck gains 600lbs I will certainly need a rear spring solution. And I am a big fan of Dobinson springs on my Fj.
