Old Man Emu BP-51 Suspension - Watch Before Buying - WE BROKE IT - 1 Yr Offroad Review

Old Man Emu BP-51 Tundra Suspension - Watch Before Buying - WE BROKE IT - 1 Yr Off Road and Overlanding Review.

This is why I don't believe in Unboxing video reviews on Off road and Overland products. Sometimes you just have to use a product, get it out there on the trail, beat it up a little before you really know what you have.

Kit Reviewed in this Video - https://www.toyteclifts.com/ome-tunbp51-old-man-emu-bp51-suspension-kit-07-tundra.html

In this video we cover the Good, the Bad and newly found UGLY on ARB's Old Man EMU BP-51 Suspension kit. The Short version is I still love this suspension but I can't fully recommend it without pointing out a possible defect that did cause a serious failure on one of our recent trips... that said there is a very easy work around... and I will show you that in the video as well. If you have this suspension WATCH this video...

I would love to hear from all of you on this one... I am conflicted... it is a great product but also hard to recommend with this issue... Have any of you had this issue? Do think it is caused by something else in addition to what I mention? Have you used any of the work arounds discussed?

This does seem to be isolated to the Tundra platform/kit... I ran this suspension system on my 4Runner with Zero Issues for over 30K miles.
