If you are ok with just plain glass, get any replacement mirror bigger than yours, and use a belt sander to shape it. I used to work in a mirror plant, made a few replacement mirrors for friends.

I have, those are good tires. I've tried a lot of tires, and read a lot of threads comparing tires. I think actual AT tires are going to be even tougher overall, and more capable if I have to chew through terrain getting off the highway, which...

Have you considered Michelin defenders for your tires? For a lighter tire, they’re about as durable as they come.

If you can’t find take-offs the stock shocks are actually pretty affordable from Toyota. MSRP is about $65 per unit, regular discount sites near $45 even without special sales.

I hope the dealerships have not been rotating like the manual recommends

Definitely take you up on rear shocks if you have them. My brother @IdahoDoug is thinking I should be able to find takeoffs from someone on Mud. My shocks have 103k on them, still young in Land Cruiser years. Lots of 80 owners reported...

if you’re in the Chicago area, ping @linuxgod, who may know of a dealer with good parts prices/service. Also, if you end up wanting to do the front shocks too, I have a set of new in box OEM I’d let go cheap. I feel like I still own you one for...

Do we have anyone on Mud giving good OEM sales? I'd rather pay someone here, than strangers with potential fake or rebuilt parts.

Yeah, my commute around Chicago is sometimes crazy, I've hit some big road debris. This must have happened years ago, I've had a weird corkscrew bounce to the truck for years. Kept thinking it was the bigger heavier tires, so glad to figure...

I just replaced my rears with OEM. I’d recommend the same for you. Edit…..that was a big hit!

Replace with stock shocks 💁‍♂️

Yeah if you just have a chip I’d repair it. If you get a crack/webbing then I’d consider it, personally. Regarding Safelite I would avoid like the plague. Even the tech that finally set my windshield correctly, told me explicitly avoid Safelite...

Highway commuter, somehow smashed a shock. Looking for stock ride, quality shocks, in case anyone has found especially good ones, or ones to avoid. Chicago roads are tough, need a tough truck! edit: 2021 base Land Cruiser, mostly stock...
