I am a professional at a dealer and still have to watch some videos on certain things. Awesome as always

[@macgroober1396]

I love the 4Runner videos as I have an '04 and you guys have really helped me out. Could you guys make a valve cover gasket video?

[@andrewspencer6080]

Simple and easy instructions. Thank dude for another great video. Have followed many of them 👍👍

[@johnmoring4596]

I like your videos. Do you have a video showing 2006 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.0L V6 transmission service?

[@wally6193]

Isn't there supposed to be a metal shouldered washer that goes above the 1st cushion, so between the 1st cushion and the shock mount hole so that the rubber isn't riding inside that hole but the meal washer is as it fits into that hole. I'm sure that's the way the factory shocks are, they use 3 washers not 2.

[@Mirthful_Warrior]

Thank you very much for making these videos and also including the torque specs. Big help!

[@treybalfour3126]

I purchased your product for my 2005 4Runner. How did you align your shock (specifically where the bottom bolt attached it to the vehicle) the shocks obviously have two sides which have different shaped faces. Which side goes toward the front of the vehicle and which one faces the rear?

[@michaelscott925]

Did it all within an hour 👍🏽👍🏽

[@lawdog1008]

How does your warranty work? Are they good ?

[@scotth5013]

Great walkthrough. Me personally, I would've brushed that dirt buildup off the underside of the upper shock tower before proceeding. By not doing this, the threads of the shock picked up some of that dirt and the technician proceeded to bolt it all together capturing the dirt in there. Also, he didn't install an Old Man Emu 3" lift while he was at it. Amateur hour.

[@thhaze]

Don't even bother trying to unscrew the top bolt holiding the shock to the frame, it's a total waste of time and effort (unless it's relatively new). Use a sawsall with a metal cutting blade. It took me about 30 seconds to cut through the shaft. I'd plan on around 45 mins per shock (indluding replacing the stabilizer ends). Getting a cresent wrench on top of the passengers side shock to tighten it was a real treat. Toyota left no extra space at all.

I would of torqued bottom bolt after car is on the ground

[@wally6193]

Do you have to "gas up" the bilstien 4600 series shocks as well?

[@EnigmaEngineering]

Great videos guys. Nice and concise! Keep it up

Great video an wish mine were that easy. I have the air ride shocks.

[@andrewgee5608]

Thanks for your guidance!

[@jeffperillo1]

You replaced a rear shock, then in the end of the video showed putting a front wheel back on 🤣

[@julianvandersteen2303]

LMMMMAOOOOOOOOO 💀💀💀💀

[@Wat1181-g8x]

I thought I was the only one that caught that. I was little confused.

[@julianvandersteen2303]

Well I didn’t catch it either 😂 I only knew because of your comment. That had me roaring. The guy who edited the video probably did it on accident and was just like.. “meh.. fuck it.” 😂😂😂

[@BLS36]

lmao got em

[@juanyanira]

It’s true 😳😳

[@lucasrudd3566]

do i gotta lift up the truck ?

[@chadg7196]

Do you need an alignment after install?

[@TRQ]

+Chad G Thanks for watching! No you do not need an alignment afterwards if you are doing this repair.

[@michellejohn695]

The top locking nut does not get torqued?I have seen other youtubers torquing it about 70 ft.lbs

[@julianvandersteen2303]

Yeah wtf, they forgot to include the torque specs for the sway bar brackets in the front shock replacement video too. Do you happen to know those?

[@davidgao7048]

70 ft.lbs? That is way toooo high. That is the torque for the bottom one. The top one should be 15-20 ft.lbs, I think.

[@Mirthful_Warrior]

Definitely not 70 foot lbs that could break the bolt. How he does it in the video is fine and it won’t come off.

[@canaanklein2235]

Why do my shocks have hoses connected? Same year. Confused. Google not a big help. Can I just replace with normal shocks?

[@pitviper7924]

You might have a Lowrider. Does it bounce at stop lights?

[@jonx20009]

You may have the x-reas shocks.

[@cadecrawford9234]

Do these also fit the sport edition 4wd?

[@bryanburgess1316]

They do if you replace all 4 and get rid of the hydraulic system and lines ! Otherwise you are paying a fortune to replace them, like 400$ a piece !
