My MRR’s have the exact same symptoms. Also around 30k miles. Dobinsons is awesome and is taking it in on warranty no questions asked really. They’re the best.

Pros: taking it in warranty
Cons: same symptoms
Mileage: 30000 km

I’ve got Dobinsons MRA’s on my patrol - highly rate them! I’ve just finished a 7 month lap including the cape and Tele track. Being able to dial them was a godsend for corrugations, definitely helped to dampen the vibrations.

Pros: dampen the vibrations
Cons: rear bracket placement
Vehicle: Nissan Patrol
Mileage: 23000 km

Happy to report Dobinsons MRA92-A2522 12” travel fit quite neatly in the Archive Shock relo. The 3-way adjustment and massive finned external reservoir are clutch. The ride is massively improved.

Pros: ride massively improved
Part number: MRA92-A2522

Took a Limited double cab for a test drive yesterday (just a base Limited—no TRD). I’m glad I did because after that drive it eliminated any thought of getting one so that’s another off the list. I couldn’t get back to the dealership fast enough—it was so severely under-shocked that I was almost puking by the time I got it back. I can’t believe they would ever let a truck go for sale with that kind of rebounding, and I’m talking normal city streets—you’d be off the road in five minutes on a washboard gravel road. Maybe the off-road would be better with the Bilstein shocks, but holy cow this was bad. Interior was cheap plastic everywhere, hated the big drive-in theatre screen. The only thing I liked was the seat adjustment. Popped the hood—what a joke the hood latch is...who the hell designed this stuff? I could have folded that long tin lever with my pinky! Engine performance was OK, laggy and the transmission programming needs work. Anyway...if you’re considering one definitely wait a year until they get things sorted but wow...I was shocked...literally...

Pros: liked the seat adjustment
Cons: severely under-shocked, cheap plastic
