Hey guys
I'm in Columbus but am originally from cincy. I've owned jeeps ever since I could drive and have always been into anything off-road. Just recently purchased an 05 Toyota 4Runner and am going to start my overland build. I live in Polaris if anyone ever wants to grab a drink or work on a rig.

Welcome! I'm always willing to lend a helping hand. I live in the New Albany area. Sounds like it's going to be an awesome build. Can't go wrong with a Toyota.

I have been a big fan of both! I live in the Dayton area. I don't know what your plans are for your rig, but I believe your suspension is similar to my FJs, so if you need help with it, let me know, I may be able to offer a helping hand. I have pulled mine apart several times including on the side of the trail (blown strut) and know it like the back of my hand. Look forward to some photos!

You don't happen to have any spare struts laying around. I have a bad rattle in my front end when I go over bumps at slower speeds and I think it's the strut.
Oddly enough yes I do. I keep two as a spare just in case I repeat my strut breaking scenario. Are the struts between our trucks the same?

I think they will work with some slight modification for fitment. Would you be willing to sell them?

So anyone down for a small weekend trip somewhere. I'm wanting to do a light shake down run before Christmas so that I can get ready for a trip I have planned on mlk weekend. Anyone interested?
Yeah I would be willing to let them go. They have the top plate and the mounting hardware but just as an fyi, one is a stock Bilstein shock and the other is a new shock from an O'Reilly. The new shock has 300 miles on it because I used it to drive home after blowing out the other shock. The Bilstein had about 30,000 miles on it.

Finished the wheeling trip out on both of them with no issues, but they are different shocks.
