Took it to my buddies shop so I could borrow his lift and swap in the new OEM shocks and springs but the front springs are designed so tightly wound, the wall mounted spring compressor feet didn't fit between the coils. Guess I'll be doing it on the ground with a rental tool, the old fashioned...

Little late on the update but I ended up performing the ABS brake bleed service via the scanner. After letting that do its thing for 20 mins or so, I bleed all 4 corners using my old Gatorade bottle method. Worked like a charm, put about 600 miles on it since. All is well.

So weird. I went out to drive it this morning and as the day went on/or the fluid heated up the pedal got worse so, there must be some air trapped in there. Although I didn't open the system at all, seems like there's air from maybe the ABS. I'll have to wait a day or two for some time but I...

Yeah, so I think i just needed more pedal time. Building them back up and putting the pistons to the pads took a couple dozen more pumps today. The pedal is back to normal and the fluid dropped back down a bit between the min/max. I've never had to do it so many times before but, meh.

I drove it around the block and immediately had to turn around so I couldn't say for sure but, at least 8-9 times in a row. I parked it in my driveway and tried pumping the pedal but pressure didn't build. No leaks and the reservoir is still just below the max line. Brake fluid was flushed about...

I just installed new brake pads today and now the pedal has very little pressure and hits the floor. I literally only pulled the pads, compressed the pistons enough to slide in the new pads and was done. I took the brake reservoir cap off just to compress the caliper piston and snugged it back...

I'm seeing several options for physical springs depending on year and side, some are superceded and show incompatible new numbers then obviously front to back options too. What are the suspension spring PN's that everyone uses just to replace factory springs with factory springs? Or, what's a...

I've been looking at ordering OEM Tokico from Toyota and been shopping different dealer sites like Serra, Amayama, Toyotapartsdeal, partsoq etc and trying to find the best deal *shipped*. Just looking for front and rear struts/shocks, not replacing the springs. I'm getting conflicting info...

Hey, Just seeing if anyone has some newer suspension pull offs before I go order from Toyota. Ideally looking for some with little to no miles. I can pickup nearly anywhere in western WA/OR as I drive throughout both states every other week or so. Shipping is fine too if you're not local...

What's the benefit of resetting the memory? Wont it end up behaving exactly the same in a couple drive cycles or does it literally learn your style of driving and adjust?

Replaced every single fluid and tinted the windshield 40%, should've gone darker as you can tell in the mountain photo, it's clear as day. Also tossed on the SCS wheels last week on new Nitto RG G3's. Not pictured is the oem front strut spacer, got too dark for a photo.

SCS F5 18" +25 Nitto Ridge Grappler G3 275/70/18 (117T) Stock height Bilstein 4600's, planning to install Toyota spacers and paint the center hubs black soon

I know this thread is older but taking a shot in the dark for any updates on the treaty oak offroad spacers and if that resolved or greatly improved the lean issues. Thanks

Wow, this is awesome, great info here. I've got the lean and can't seem to fix it so, I'm gonna keep digging but wanted to give kudos for the time spent in putting this together. Thanks OP

Ayeee, me too yesterday, still runs like new.
