front should be the same as mine 580432
Yep. Sure is. The hardware p/n’s are what I will need to look into. I’m not sure what is still good and what isn’t worth being careful to remove and then cleaning up. I wouldn’t reuse my coils or isolators that’s for sure. Well, I might use the coils to make another Damascus blade or two.
I ordered all the parts from RockAuto. There a quite a few different models of strut "cartridges" and you have to find the ones that have your suspension code listed. The suspension code is usually the last 2 RPO codes listed on the sticker and one is for left and one is for right.

Mine are the 6F1 and 7F1 shown on the sticker below

Mine are the 6A5 and the 7A5’s.

*Careful showing that VIN, you guys might be surprised what kind of info I can pull with just that number alone - “hey look somebody recently used a Netgear router”

You did it yourself or had them done? I’ve done them on cars, but the coil is MUCH larger on this than any car or truck I’ve ever changed them on.

While I only watched them getting changed out, I was lucky enough to drive the truck equipped with the nicest set I’ve ever seen. They were on a custom built Raptor Baja truck that was outsourced and paid for by your guys hard earned tax dollars. Oh how I miss jumping the wadis out in Cali.

there is probably not any difference other than a couple dollars in price, when I originally looked mine up there was a bunch of choices and I just picked one. lol
and then 5 months later rockauto decided to make them lifetime warranty as of 4-1-18
Probably not, but I ordered the one that was listed for my RPO code

I'm not scared showing my vin or plate online. They're physically visible to anyone out in public anyway.

I have 3 routers, and do have a netgear that runs Tomato, but I haven't used it in about 2 weeks

Ive been telling myself it’s time to order one of these for quite some time now.

I did break down a few years back and order a brake bleeder ratchet. Why I ever fumbled around using ANY other tool setup other than that style bleeder is beyond me. One side is the socket, in the middle is the ratchet handle and the other side has a barbed end so you can attach a piece of hose running down to your bottle of fluid. I use a Gatorade bottle because of the fact it has a wider base, is a heavier bottle and is clear, so I can watch the bubbles and old fluid/new fluid. Works great with the bleeder pump you guys mentioned.

this isn’t the exact one I bought, but is very similar.
That looks handy. I, too, struggle with brake bleeding. I want to get the pressure bleeder. But my wife's Toyota can't use that (MC cap isn't threaded). So I'm planning to get a vacuum bleeder, which works about as well. I've borrowed a cheap one, and found that it leaked around the bleeder screw. So I want to make sure I get a good one. Anyone else have a brand they recommend, or have used?

Every vacuum bleeder I have ever used leaked, usually where they connect to the bleeder. IMO its just a backwards way of doing it. Just because your wife's car cant use it doesn't mean you cant buy the Motive for yours.:deal:

Edit: it looks like according to Motive, the universal round cap can be used on the Toyota's with the push-to-fit caps.

I have this vacuum pump I used. Problem is it suck air bubbles through the threads of the loosened bleeder screw. So while it does work ok to flush, for the final bleeding you have to do the pedal pump thing to make sure there is no air left for sure. I had some silicon hose and adapters from an old brake kit I used to hook up to it.
