Looking into some replacement front struts and rear shocks. I DON'T want any lift but I do want a bit firmer ride for less body roll into turns. Also, I don't want the Billie 5100's because too much road salt corrodes them in the winter. (had them on my 10' 4R) So I need a painted or coated...

Yes : 04947-22050 My dealer wants $25.38

Never mind, I found out how to use the shims and also found out that the hardware (metal clips) does NOT come with the brake pads. I just ordered a set from my local dealer. Thanks!

I ordered new OEM rear brakes (premium not value line) and rotors plus the shim kit (0496-60141) and I'm not sure how to properly use the shims. Can someone please tell me how to use these shims? Also, I did not get new metal clips for the pads to fit in. Is it critical to use new clips or will...

I am currently running BFG KO2's in LT 265/70/17 Load Range C which weight 46 lbs each. I don't go off-road enough anymore to justify the ruggedness and weight of these tires so I'm pretty sure that I'll go with the Yokohama Geolander AT/4 in P265/70/17 which weigh 39 lbs. I was just curious if...

Thanks for the input. Probably wishful thinking on my part about the fuel savings, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks again!

Serious question. Will I notice a fuel savings going from a 46lb tire (LT265/70/17) to a 39lb tire (P265/70/17) on stock OEM 17"x 7.5" wheels? In my mind, if I can gain 1.5-2 MPG in gas, it will be worth it for me to go to a 7lb per tire weight savings. Just not sure if it will be noticeable?

Narrowed down to Nitto Terra Grappler G3's (XL load) or Yokohama Geolander AT4's (SL load) Feel pretty confident that either will work well for my application.

OK, looking for some input on new rubber for my 19' TRD OR. I'll be staying with the OEM size 265/70/17 on the stock 17"x 7.5" OR wheels. I don't "off road" nearly as much as I used to (probably 90% on road vs 10% off) I have been using BFG KO2's (6 ply) for years with great success but realize...

My BFG KO2's don't have any cracks.

My RCI engine skid does not clunk or creak.

Does anyone know if the Victory brand's oil filter door has nuts that are welded on the back of the skidplate? I read somewhere that the nuts for the trap door were not welded on. If this is true, then Victory is not an option to even consider for me at least. Too much work and time. It's a...

I own an early version of an RCI aluminum skid plate. (4 round holes) Bought it in about 2011 or 12' A friend of mine wants to buy an aluminum skid and his hands are huge so he needs a brand that has a larger opening than my RCI does.

Which manufacturer makes an aluminum engine skid plate with the largest "trap door" opening for access to the oil filter? Thanks!

Had the NSS (part # 84540-35061) replaced today & all is working perfectly. Shifter is moving freely and the "D" light is on display, & cruise control works. Thanks for all of the help!
