    I absolutely loathe u joints after this weekend. I know some people say they are simple, but I ran into every problem I could and will never do one myself again. Although I'm happy to say my rear vibration is a ton better.

    There was a thread a while ago with a bunch of interior LED replacements as well as the exterior bulbs. I can't find the thread.

    I did find this site that might be of some help. I've also seen LED replacements for some bulbs at Pep Boys.

    Jim pretty sure those are for a Chevy. Toyota hub bore is 106 mm I think or something like that so the 78 mm would be way too small. Hopefully someone else chimes in to confirm.

    Yeah that would have been an annoying mistake. Also noticed my phone autocorrected to Jim instead of I'm at the beginning of my sentence. :confused:

    You know you can just search rock auto coupon and find them online whenever you want. That's what I do before any purchase I make online.


    BTW, where did you get your coilovers rebuilt at? I might be coming into possession of some Icon's that need a rebuild and revalve, but I may do it myself.

    Thanks man, what was the final price with new shafts? I'm getting some Tundra Icon's and need them revavled for a 4runner.

    It was like 260ish with tax. Shipping was the pain. Like 75 for shipping and return label. But I had them back within a week.

    I decided to hold off the SC untill and wait for a cleaner one to pop up, hopefully with a 7th injector kit and just buy the whole package together. dont you already have icons on your 4runner?

    Not a bad idea. I ended up selling my old ones because they needed a rebuild and I wanted to use the cash from them for tires. I'm getting a killer deal on these new ones so I'm going to rebuild/revalve them and put them on.

    yea, hit up anthonydtf, he could probably rebuild the coilovers for you if you dont have the tools to do it yourself, its not too hard, but you need the right tools!
