TRD PRO rear shock reservoir bracket mounting? Requesting pics!
- Thread starter MY4X4YOTI
- Start date
Well i was running out of time before the weekend so i quickly fabbed up my own spacer to mount the rear shock reservoir. I took some scrap aluminum and cut to size, then drilled holes and tapped threads in to the lower hole. basically the factory part is just a rectangular piece that the cylindrical piece bolts to, then the rectangular piece has one bolt at the top that holds it on the frame, and a nipple about an inch below which fits in a hole in the frame to keep it from moving back or forth. basically what i did was just put the top bolt all the way through the cylindrical part, through my spacer, and in to the threads in the frame. Then the lower hole on the cylindrical part that i tapped threads in tightens that part to the spacer and the extra 5mm or so acts as the pin. Since my setup puts the reservoir holder a little higher I had to slide the reservoir down slightly in the holder and I also cut out a bit of the body seam (only like a 1/4" below the spot welds) to get a bit more clearance. I was kind of short on time so i didnt take many pics. I doubt anyone else will run in to this problem anyway...
So here's the factory reservoir bracket. The part I'm missing is the longer rectangular part with the allen head bolt at the top.
And here's how I made mine.
Here it is mounted up.
It's not the best looking part, and I had planned to make one more like the factory piece but work left me no time this week and I had to get my 4R back on the road!
I put my wheels and tires on too but didnt take pics yet.
More pics to follow later!

Did you ever find a more permanent solution? I will be doing this soon FJ TTUE suspension on the 4runner. Are you pleased with the kit in general? No issues?

I just received the trd pro suspension from a 2018 pro. I’m trying to get an idea how the rears reservoirs are mounted to the frame. Attached are some pictures of how they are mounted.
Also, I’m guessing that the top bolt for the reservoir is threaded onto the frame? So even though I don’t have a trd pro 5th gen, the threaded hole exists ?

I installed the rear TRD shocks myself, and have never seen that piece before. I wonder what it is?

How about the bracket pictures for the reservoirs. Do the screws, washers look correct ?
Honestly, I can't remember how I assembled those. BUT there is an instruction sheet floating around on the forum somewhere. I used it while installing the parts.

Yep, that's it! I didn't see that mystery piece anywhere in the instructions. I still don't know what that is.

At first I thought it was a hose clamp for the reservoirs. But the hose seems too thick for the bracket.

So I been reading this post and other posts about the trd pro reservoir bracket. I was wondering if anybody ever found a Toyota post number for that 1/2" block piece that mounts up to the frame?
