i talked to rallitek and they were helpful to a point. gave opinions and direction more than actual details and what i was looking for. LP for sure was more detailed in their response. i chose rallitek springs as a starting place. i thought it was silly to just get a bushing or spacer kit to...
depends what you are trying to do, check this out: RalliTEK vs. King Springs | RalliTEK - Blog
I used Rallitek springs on stock struts for a little bit more clearance and more rigidity.
OK a few things first.
1: what model of garmin are you using?
2: what kind of computer, windows (7, 8.1, 10?) or a mac?
3: have you tried to follow this guide: How To Load Maps On My Garmin GPS Unit - GPSFileDepot
There are a lot of options out there considering you can upload third party maps. my garmin nuvi 205w goes for a whopping $10-20 on offer up. ive thought about finding one that's maybe 7 years old vs 14 years old and using that, bigger screen, fresher sensors, $50 ish. lol.
glad you got some...
Its day and night. really excited to see how much better the days on the trails are going to be. on road is very nice. planning a few trips before winter now that i'm not terrified of my stock tires. wired up a dashcam in the front and back, bolted my old garmin to the car, i'm ready to go! next...

Hey OB,
Apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere.
As i realize the limitations of my iphone gps (i love gaia but its offline maps are HUGE) i became interested in a dedicated gps unit. i see all these overland specific and trail ready devices like the Garmin overlander and the Magellan...
Not super useful here but i have an inflatable kayak that i keep in my car when i need to lock it up. I have a large enough container to store it in while wet so my forester doesn't get water damaged and holds the accessories i need for it (pumps, paddles, pfds, etc).
I've never done anything that intense or large scale but i keep a well stocked trauma kit, fire suppression gear, and tow / recovery gear in my car at all times. I always stop to see if people need help and have a few medical / first aid stops under my belt now. it's amazing how few people stop...
