What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Took the long way home

Had a set of TRD Bilstiens from a 2013 FJ Cruiser that 300 miles on them installed on my 2014 T4R today.
Big difference in the ride from the "Tokico" Shocks!

Hello

What year is the FJ donation? Do you need some modification or only plug and play?

The same height or do you win some lift?

Thanks

If you are asking me:

Had a set of TRD Bilstiens from a 2013 FJ Cruiser that 300 miles on them.....

Plug and play>>>same shock lengths, same general suspension!
You gain no height from these shocks as they are non-adjustable ones from the Off Road Packaged FJ.

Hope this helps!

 

[ochoa1801]

Yes this helps me. Thanks

Do you think this modification is better suspension?

 

[Saker]

Do you think this modification is better suspension?

Yes, these are a better shock than the standard OEM Tokico shock installed from the factory.
Definately feel the better response in these shocks!
I didn't want to change the coils to the FJ ones, only the TRD Bilstien Off Road shocks from the FJ.
Ground clearance between my former 2013 FJTT was the same as my T4R SR5 4X4 Premium
I don't plan on lifting my truck so these work for me.

Looks good Saker!

New lights up and installed. Only have one picture at the moment, and apologies on the poor quality.

These are the new prototype 5th Gen Ditch Brackets from CBI. Mounted a pair of D2 Hyperspots on them for now as I had them sitting around. Waiting on a set of floods.

Fit and finish is superb, still working a few kinks out with hood closure seemingly being a tinnny bit off.

Extra CV to have on hand had arrived today. Good timing for my Rausch Creek run this weekend at the 4Runner Jamboree. I pray to God I don't need to use it.

What's one cost? Just curious

Obviously I didn't go with OEM because it's going to be an extra. I bought this from Parts Train to my door for $68.00. I thought that was decent enough although in my head I still have that "You get what you pay for" thought.

 

[Gabex35]

That's pretty cheap insurance to get you off the trail. Thanks for the response!

Exactly what I was looking for. No problem, man.

So this will fit the left and right? Same pt#?

Correct. At least that's what I was told(fingers crossed).

Just got off the phone with CBI Offroad. Ordered one of the original design rear bumpers with swing out. I am STOKED!!:banana:

They only have 8 of the originals left. Get 'em while they're hot.

Keep us updated. Would really like to see how they turn out.

Father's Day long weekend Road Trip

Road America, Elkhart Lake WI, June Sprints.
Been taking my sons here since they were sub-teens. Fantastic car-watching - not just the races, but the fantastic automobiles the spectators drive to it.

Yrs Trly, Stella Artois, and GT1, GT2, GT3 queueing up for time trials.




Youngest son (41, )





Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur, my favorite seegar - gotta love that hatch - life is good.
