Do you have any close-ups of the bed bob?
Yah, it has all the leafs in the packs right now. We're still waiting to take it out and flex it. I'm sure it will lower an inch or so. The snorkle was one of the first things he did. It's a Prado snorkle. A Prado ARB bumper as well.
He got em back before ARB offered a bumper or snorkle Tacoma specific.

Trust me, He'll find one deep enough! On more than one occasion, I have witnesed everything in his cab flow out with water when he's opened his doors.

You are a brave man to get that much air on 3-wheeler!!!
Yah, I love that thing!!!! It's a monster. Big dune air rocks!!! Specially when the dunes are close enough (30-40') to jump from one to the other. Not up one side and down the other like in the pics. Almost nothin's better than watchin' a group of quads thinkin' there gettin' big air and then lettin' the trike fly. I got 2 real good friends that also have 350X's. It's great when we get together and ride. Just about everyone stops and looks at us. I wish they'd bring em back!!! Trikes rock!!!

Saweet! Specs???

I have a handbuild Schwinn Paramount roadbike from my younger days. (back when index shifting came out)

I also have 2 Treks but they are in peices in the attic.

Put alot of miles on my bikes till I moved to Oklahoma. If the world wasn't round, you could almost see Missouri from Texas (Baja Oklahoma). hehe

As far as the bike, it's a Kona "Stinky Primo" that I built from the frame up.

That is one saweet pic man! You say I'm brave....but at least I can see my landing. Your jumpin' into a VALLEY. A steep Valley! (at least that's what it looks like) How cold was that water? J/K

The water was about 65-70º but it was also over 3500' below! That jump does have long and steep runway with a very blind brake-over to a steep loose landing. It is intimidating until you've hit it a few times and then it's all good.

3500'??? That's one hell of a jump!

I'll stick to my 30-40' dune jumps.

Yeah, I'm just thinking out loud. I just wondered if it would be strong enough to take the place of 2 crossmembers? I think I would feel better fabbing a front crossmember that tucked up higher and using this to replace the rear and tranny mount.
