TRD PRO rear shock reservoir bracket mounting? Requesting pics!

[MY4X4YOTI]

I'm installing my TRD pro bilsteins I bought off a member here (transworldmoto) and I put the front on after work real quick knowing they'd go on real easy, and they did. Then I start looking at the rear and the external reservoir and I'm trying to figure out how to mount the reservoir like the pro has it. Mine is a 2011 sr5 and there must be some other bracket that the pros have because the holes aren't there for the reservoir bracket to thread in to. I can make a bracket but I would like to see if anyone on here with a TRD pro model can take some pics of how the reservoir is mounted and post them here so I can check it out? None of the dealers close to me have a pro in stock. The only pic I found on Google is this

Not enough detail there.
Help me you pro owners!

I think that's the picture I posted on this site....
That is on the drivers side....see if there are a couple of holes forward of the shock on the frame for the bracket to mount the reservoir......

Fixed it for ya. Hopefully someone with a PRO can chime in here. I know these came off of a Trail Teams FJ so those rear resi brackets are obviously designed for the FJ rear body mounting points. Hopefully you can fab up some brackets that aren't too much work! Good luck and let us know how it turns out?!

The above picture was taken of a Pro 4Runner!
Notice the rubber tits on the tread, that TRD Pro 4Runner had 3 miles on it when I looked and drove it after taking the photos.

Oh I know that's a T4R brother...I'm saying the suspension I sold him came off of an FJ Cruiser. I bought it from Jason at Demello Offroad a few months back and ended up going with an ICON setup instead.

I just took this pic of the passenger side of my pro. Hope it helps.

Sorry, I misunderstood!
Please accept my sincere apologies... eace:

Yea I guess it was your pic! And yea Ben had told me they were off an FJ. Ultimate trail edition. The bracket looks the same tho but there is a part behind it that is missing. My runner does have one hole with threads that the other piece will likely bolt into.

Thank you very much sir! That's exactly what I was looking for. See the bolt at the top of the reservoir bracket, that is the part that I think bolts to the frame first, then the bracket has two outer bolts that bolt to the piece on the frame. The center bolt is what holds the bracket onto the reservoir and you can loosen it and slide the reservoir up or down.
Might be easier to see if I can order the back piece from Toyota.
Thanks again!

I you find the part # for the complete bracket or for each part of that bracket, would you please post it here?

No worries! Just glad Ryan got his bracket figured out. Hopefully it can be bought, but I'm sure if it can't it can be fabricated!

Sure will. I'll see if I can get to the dealer tomorrow.

So it could double as a hydro bump mount?? Sweet!!

 

[MY4X4YOTI]

I just went to the Toyota dealer and looking over the parts catalog it doesn't show the bracket separate, or any of the TRD pro suspension separate. I looks like if you have a TRD pro and something on the shocks needs to be replaced under warranty the dealer will have to order a whole kit. That's pretty weird since its a factory package not just an accessory. They did have a 2014 FJC ultimate edition and it has the same bracket so I took some pics. All I'm missing is the rectangular piece behind the part that the reservoir slides in to. It has the one Allen bolt at the top. I guess I'll have to fab one up. Should be easy enough.

If they are the same size as the 5160s you can use that bracket. I apologize in advance for the link to the heep store. It was the quickest one I could find.

Thanks for looking in to that! I'll just try to find out if the shock body and reservoir on the stuff I have is the same as those 5160's. That bracket looks good!

I've been running them for 18mo without issue.

You've been running those brackets on TRD pro rear shocks or on 5160's? I can't find the outer diameter specs on the shock bodies of the 5160's to see if the O.D is the same as the TRD pro's. Are the TRD pro rears 5160's with different valving? If so the bracket would work.

I have them on 5160s. You could always order them and see if they fit. If not return them.

Or I could ask you if you could be so kind as to measure the diameter of the shock body?
