Dobinsons has officially rolled out their suspension lineup for the 4th Gen Tacoma! Dobinsons isn’t new to the game by any means. Their products are well known for their performance and reliability, but this is the first time we’re getting their full setup for the new Tacoma. Shocks, coils, arms, supporting components… the whole package. Here’s what’s dropping: IMS Monotube Shocks – durable, reliable, and built for real offroading. MRR 3-Way Adjustable Shocks – remote reservoirs, compression/rebound adjustability, serious control for the hardcore. Aluminum UCAs – forged aluminum, camber/caster adjustable, anodized finish, built for strength and handling. Coil Springs – different load ratings so you can run stock weight or go heavy with armor, campers, or gear. Supporting Components – adjustable panhard rods, sway bar relocation kits, diff drops, hydro bump stops, and more. Dobinsons designed this range to give your truck more suspension travel, better articulation, and improved control without sacrificing ride quality. We’re talking up to 25% more front travel with UCAs and diff drop, and up to 20% more rear travel, depending on the setup. We’ll have everything live on TacomaForce soon, but we wanted everyone to keep their eye out for this great lineup! Who’s excited? Anyone planning to start with the IMS or go all-in with the MRR adjustables? Call/email us anytime to talk with the experts We offer FREE build consultations!!

It's been a known issue that most Tacoma owners don't know how to adjust their audio when they get a text. So the music turns down, and you can hear the text being read out. Sure, some might have looked but can’t find it in CarPlay settings, just like I initially did too.

One thing you should know is that Siri/message reader volume is separate from your music volume, so you have to adjust while Siri is talking or a message is being read (or directions are being read if you use voice).

For example, if you hold the volume up while Siri is telling you something, she will get louder, but your music volume will remain unchanged & vice versa. So far, this has been my go-to option for this issue.
