linda s Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks that is a good starting point will keep you posted dave Or just go right to Ebay UK. Lots of toyota shocks. you of course are looking for a hilux or surf and with the 3.0. I didn't narrow it down all the way cause there might be some models the same that I don't recognize the name. I see monroes and KYB but I didn't go through all of them http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Shock-Absorbers-Dampers-/174092/i.html?_pppn=r1&_dcat=174092&Make=Toyota Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well if your going to go through all this just order here and buy the best. This place ships international and Bilstein's are the best shocks for our rigs available anywhere. Just get the whole set. They will last for years and years. Call cause they have some extra requirements for international shipping and credit card verification. http://www.eshocks.com/bil_veh.asp?Model_Index=3Q17&Manf=All&SubChar=Q Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAatTheCape Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 just ordered a set of eshocks - $262 for all 4. best price i could find. Carquest & autozone quoted 4 around $150 for monroe's (34953 & 34803 are what are on my camper now). (correction: 34952 was supposed to be 34953_ I ordered bilsteins. based on bilstein's reputation & what a number of toyota RVers have said I decided to spend another 110 & get the good ones. plan on a big trip this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 No Toyota 1 ton duallies were ever imported to Europe by Toyota. The closest I could find is the VW Taro. but that's a 1 ton single wheel truck. Yes It's a VW and a Toyota. Worse case scenario I would go with the Taro shocks. KYB has them on their european site and you just pick the one for the 2 wheel drive. No v6's but the 2.4 engine should have the same chassis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Taro Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefdave Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi thats news to me never even heard of vw taro let alone seen one. i also visited the vw factory back in 1981 and never saw anything that resembled a large pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
