Heh, thanks, yes - you're right. And that takes us full circle to the question central to this thread and the OP's original question - is it possible to put a TRD Pro suspension on a non-TRD Pro 4Runner (and then the subsequent conversation about why someone would do that rather than get...

Please see my earlier comment about the parts being produced by third parties. You and I are in 100% agreement. Just to be clear. When I say "designed and engineered" I specifically left out the word "manufactured" intentionally. In other words, as you've pointed out in your own post...

Dude, gimme a break. We're talking about both, back and forth on this thread - everything needs to be taken in context. I'm not sure what your comment is intended to achieve other than to be sarcastic. :frusty:

BTW, in that piece you quoted from me, I should have been more clear that I'm referring to buying a NEW TRD Pro (not bolting one on) versus going with something like a Bilstein or Icon lift.

Yea, makes total sense and I knew this to be true as well from my own personal experience with an older FJ and a Tundra. I never intended to claim otherwise. But warranty aside, my main point is still true - if you bolt on a TRD Pro parts kit, you're getting the same thing that Toyota...

In a sense, most parts on a production car are "aftermarket" if you define "aftermarket" as being produced outside the actual car manufacturers plant(s). Most if not all the shocks, tires, wheels, springs, and even bumpers and light assemblies are manufactured by third parties and then sourced...

That's good to hear. I'm just reporting what Icon says in the product literature. People who mod their suspension should just know what they are getting into. And to think carefully before using Icon products. :) Anyway, ignoring the troll bait from Marshall and getting back to the point...

As far as service interval goes, the paperwork that came with these shocks said something like every 5,000 miles for off-road use and 10-15,000 miles for on road use. I remember because I put about 7000 miles a year on my Tundra and it meant about every 2 years. I was frankly shocked (no pun...

Have the noises from icons been reported here before? I've never seen comments about it on the tundra forums but perhaps not many tundra guys are running them.

Problems with aftermarket suspension like Icon Vehicle Dynamics Reviving a bit of an old thread here, but I came across this while Google searching the ability to swap out the TRD pro setup into a "Trail" version. Reason? A local guy selling a 2013 did this on his Trail. I'm shopping for a...
