Glad you enjoyed it!

What do you recommend for HILUX GRS daily driven/overlandling/little tecnical course?

BP51

Great video. How do they perform on heavy vehicles I.e LC200 with steel bumpers extended fuel tank etc.

BP51s are actually available in heavy and standard load options, with tons of spring rates available for constant load, so they are killer even on the heaviest of rigs. The Bilsteins can be set up for more weight that most with the right springs, but it is hard to beat the BP51 as they were designed for heavier overland type builds. The Bilsteins, although great under a load, are really more of a "prerunner shock" rather than an "overlander shock"

What are you final thoughts on the BP 51 setup for the Tacoma?

Sean, the owner the company, has these installed on his 2005 Toyota Tacoma. He loves them as they give the best tunability for more like daily driver/overlander.

That is correct

The review seemed a bit biased towards Bilstein.

I think you might be mistaking the bias for the fact that the 8100s are flat-out a higher-performing shock than the BP51, but that is to be expected given their designs. Neither is without their flaws, but the Bilsteins are definitely easier to adjust as well, especially since they are switching most of their 8100s to use quick-adjust knobs on the bypass tubes. With that said, it is all about the right shock for the right person. If you like to keep all four tires on the ground as much as possible, then you do not need the additional support of the Bilstein and could save some money and get just as cushy of a ride out of the BP51.

Sad thing is Bilstein dn't have rebound adjusting shocks for Front...am right..?
