    I wish my tacoma had fox shocks on it. My Christini has Mazzochi forks and fox shock. The Yamaha wr450 has KYB - revalved, the Husqvarna has WP forks and shock..

    I had Rancho 9000 shocks on the back which helped but still weren't great. Are the Bilstein 5100 better then the Bilstein shocks that come on the TRD offroad?

    Those are terrible.

    Yes the offroad bilsteins are "better" but you still have the shorter sidewall which makes for a bit stiffer ride.

    From what I’ve heard, they are better. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the stock OR’s shocks but preferred them to the sports OEM setup. I’m pretty impressed with the Pro’s Foxes .... it’s one of my favorite mods. If you can find a good deal on some take offs, I highly recommend them, they work great off road as well as on road.

    I'm late to this dumbgeon thread!

    OP, pics of the kid's bike and GIF of him collapsing the shock with one hand. He can wear a Covid mask to preserve his anonymity. Also -- and I'm not judging -- did you really have three Pathfinders, three Sierras, and three Ridgelines?! You've got a girl in every port.

    I'll see if I can upload the video tomorrow - it's pretty large.
    2013 pathfinder- lemon law - antilock brakes would lock out the brake pedal over small bumps and truck would keep going.. They gave me a 2014, 2015 lease replacement.

    1988 - had 204k miles on it, 1996 sierra lemon law - brakes and rotors every 3K miles.. 1998 was the replacement. That had 3 engines in it - 119 days in the shop - main bearing problems due to oil journals drilled incorrectly in the crank shaft.

    Only 2 ridgelines.. 2007 was the best all around, 2012 had major fit and finish issues so dumped it.

    Does anyone know what the latest ecu release is for the 2018 Toyota Tacoma Sport manual transmission?
