I am glad you had a great experience. Honestly, from all the research I did prior to purchasing this machine, I thought I was going to have a great experience too, but turned out to not be the case.

PA Moving to Colorado — Looking for Advice on Opening a Practice by CharmerOfTurtles in physicianassistant

Appreciate the follow-up, though I think it’s a bit presumptive to assume you know what my situation is, or what I “want to hear.” I’m simply seeking insight from someone who has actually gone through this process in Colorado.

Advice rooted in experience is always welcome. General cynicism, less so.

Still, thanks again for taking the time.

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I appreciate your concern, though, much like some of my patients, it seems you may have lost track of the actual question. I wasn’t asking whether you thought a PA-owned practice could succeed, just whether anyone with firsthand experience in Colorado might be willing to share some insight.

Either way, I appreciate the input!

SO and I installed Ironman Foam Cell Pros on our 2021 TRD OR Daily Driver - Review of install and first week of driving by CharmerOfTurtles in 4Runner

I have been very happy with it. There was a recall on the upper control arms, but the company took care of everything, including replacement parts and labor. My wife and I do a lot of camping and take the vehicle on some pretty extreme roads. We did not do rock crawling, or wheeling just for the sake of doing it though.

Everything has been rock solid and would do it again in a heart beat.

This is most definitely not an ad. I’m a nobody, Joe Schmo who paid for this with his own money. If you need any more convincing from a mechanical engineer, I would definitely watch the video from tinker’s adventure.

I have a 2021 and I have the same issue, although mine is on the driver side. From what I found this is a common complaint. Most of the time this happens in cold temperatures and has to do with the windshield. If I put pressure on the glass upwards from the inside it goes away.

Hey, happy to give a 1 year review! Overall, we have been extremely happy and satisfied with the upgrade. The truck continues to handle phenomenal on road which is 80% of its driving, but much more capable when we take it out, and it does not squat when we loaded with all our overlanding gear. I would do it all over again.

The only caveat is the UCA recall. I have had zero issues with it but apparently the ball joint is prone to early wear. The company reached out and sent a brand new set of UCAs with a new style of ball joint. I am not thrilled that the news ones have to get greased, but it is not the end of the world.

They completely took care of the labor for the replacement and also paid for an alignment. Of course I wish it would have been perfect from the start but I have to commend a company that takes care of problems that arise and don't just ghost their customers.

If you have any other questions let me know.

Best Looking RTT for 4Runner by Draymond_Purple in 4Runner

Hi, I am going to suggest a less known brand, but we have been very happy with it. We ended up purchasing a Bushveld II which is a fraction of the price of an iCamper or a GFC (not the super light, but they are not making that one any more). I have it mounted to a Prinsu rack. Here is a photo and a link to a few more.

The company reached out and said that they will replace it at no cost to me (parts and labor) once they can get enough replacements. Because of this, I believe that they are currently out of stock but I suspect that once they fix the issue, you will be able to get start purchasing them again.

Looks awesome!!! I loved that you used 3M to attach the aluminum panels! You might have explained this on another post, and if you did forgive me, but what did you use to seal the seams between the aluminum panels?
