Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140

Just as an FYI Olathe Toyota is saying they are requiring a VIN number to fulfill the order that I made on Saturday morning. Said it's being handed down from Toyota they will not sell any of these parts without an FJ cruiser TRAIL trim WIN.
 
Balls, I haven't heard anything yet about my late Friday order. My original shows it estimated shipping tomorrow. Hopefully I don't have to find a friend with a FJ Trail VIN haha.

That sucks! I'm glad I didn't wait.

Wonder what they thought would happen when reducing a kit by so much?

That sounds like a 4runner kit to me :wtf:
 
Looking at the kit, I'm trying to figure out where the resi is gonna mount for the rear shock.

Wonder if I should order a 4runner specific mount?
 
What’s your plan. I was sorting through same thing.

See the little tab on the back of one on this pic?

There is a spot in the frame it fits into

They sell a mount specific for the 5160 that mounts it to the body of the shock if that works.
 
Mine will be here in the morning! For the price it was i knew there would be backorders and price change and issues, that’s why I didn’t wait, pulled the trigger! Good luck to all of you and hope you get your kits soon! Thanks for the pics too. My coilover top mounts showed up today. Now I will be having my machinist at work make me lower spring spacer perches at 1/2” thicker than toytecs model and I have toytec 1/2” top spacers. Hope to get 3”. I may have to go see a set of the 6112 that have the 7 notches and measure the top notch and have my spacer machined to that height to achieve the 2.5” they are able to acquire or may just replace the coils entirely to accommodate a plate bumper I may purchase.

I got my PTR13-35140 yesterday. Upon my quick glance to the box content, I believe this kit already has the same/similar mounts that are found in 4Runner TRD suspension kit (PTR13-89150).

They are, from all the pics I've seen.

I see you're in Duluth, I'm in Buford! If you figure out how to set the resi holders up please let me know!

I'm planning to pair up these with Dobinsons' TRD specific 1" lift springs, which will be available in April. So, this won't get installed till then.

If you get to it first, you let me know. :thumb3:
 
Fedex was delayed due the the 12" of snow, hope to get them tomorrow :bash:

Sucks when you see its out for delivery only to turn back.
 
Well, was hoping I got in early enough, but looks like not.... here is the email I just received from Olathe:

Toyota has put a stop sale on these to ramp back up inventory and they now require a Trail Teams FJ specific VIN to release once inventory has been replenished. This may be a few weeks before we see them. Your order has been placed on hold until we hear back from you. Please bookmark our website for quick access to the best deals on genuine Toyota parts and accessories. Thank you.

So, probably a no go, but not sure what the validation process is.... I mean, anyone can pull a vin off the internet and send it, right? :shrug: It does not say in the verbiage that I have to OWN that vin... :P

What day did you order? I placed my order through the same dealership on Saturday but haven’t gotten any other emails since then(other than the confirmation email). I’m assuming I’m going to be in the same situation as you
