Thank Dude my box is in dire need of new shocks and strutsits a 05 and still rolling on the factory ones going with coil overs all the way around. You were a big help with this project I didn't think like other videos showed of taking out all the hood cowl ,you saved me a lot of wrench time. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the documentation. I still mostly daily the Box as well.

@M2Motoring 9 месяцев назад

You’re welcome! It’s a great daily.

@hyd119 9 месяцев назад

Did this job in the evening in the garage. Accidentally snapped one of the top bolts. Good thing they were just press fit in and I pulled one from the old one. Close call. 😅@@M2Motoring

The toyota echo trick is smart! Thanks for the videos learning a bunch.

@M2Motoring Год назад

You’re welcome! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.

I cant seem to get the ftont struct and shock back into position. The two videos i see show it just fitting right back in. But i cant get it to fit at all

@eddieyan5529 7 дней назад

I dont know why but i cant get the the struct to align back with the two bolts.

Also have you upgrade with automotive led lights for your interior and exterior? If not, is there’s something urgent looking for something that’s super bright, reliable? If not, I can help u to find the right ones for you: 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@M2Motoring 2 месяца назад

I have led bulbs for the headlights already. The interior dome light I’ve left stock and aren’t really looking to upgrade. But thank you for the offer.

@toyotabrony 2 месяца назад

@@M2Motoring not a problem at all. Do u like the warm light color temperature of the interior incandescent bulb lights?

Doesn’t matter to me to be honest .

What wheels are you running? I just bought an 04 xb and these are some of the nicest wheels I’ve come across.

@M2Motoring 7 месяцев назад

Hi Christopher. They’re Xxr wheels 16x8 +20. Shoot us an email can definitely help you get a set info@m2-motoring.com 👍🏻

@thewalkingrob8840 8 месяцев назад

If i like the stock height i most likely only need a new strut right? Lots if miles and im sure its all original. They just suck over speed bumps and the rude is rough.

@M2Motoring 8 месяцев назад

Yes just struts would be fine imho.

@toyotabrony 3 месяца назад

How’s the KYB - Excel - G shocks and struts going so far? Are they a little firm as others said? How’s the body roll with them? And how much u pay for a set? Maybe around $330?

@M2Motoring 2 месяца назад

Hi . It’s going well. In terms of firmness with the oem springs , I honestly wouldn’t know as I’m on lowering springs. My shocks prior were all blown so this is a far better refresh. It doesn’t seem firm to me but rather it helps eliminate some of the sloppiness of the oem springs. There’s still body roll as it’s a regular shock and lowering spring combo but much better than oem. I forgot what I paid as this video was done a while back but kyb had a rebate promotion so if I remember correctly, about $150-200.

@M2Motoring 2 месяца назад

Nice profile photo btw. I helped with the actual real car way back in the day 😀

@toyotabrony 2 месяца назад

@@M2Motoring oh no shit. I bet that was fun back then. The KYB excel G shocks and struts are an excellent oem replacement. I honestly wish if KYB makes monotube shocks like Gas-a-just for all models.. Even if it’s not huge demand. So my next question is, why choose KYB over other brand?

@M2Motoring 2 месяца назад

Just a brand I’ve been using forever on various cars and I’ve never had a band experience with them. They’re a great value for what you get brand.

@toyotabrony 2 месяца назад

@@M2Motoring u only get them with just shocks and struts and not the strut plus? I know those are sweet set: but I heard some people had bad experience with a front strut plus.

ever used the car as a spring compressor? ;)

@M2Motoring Год назад

Yes. Sketchy 😂

What are the extra gages on your dash?

@M2Motoring 5 месяцев назад

Hi one is water temp and one is volt. Previous owner installed them. Water temp comes in Handy since the xb doesn’t have one

What’s the point of a how to if you skip through the work and the most difficult parts?!?

@M2Motoring 4 месяца назад

Hi thanks for the comment. aside from actually showing myself turning a wrench , I’m pretty sure I explained the socket sizes and tools needed. I need both hands to work and it’s just me with a camera 99% of the time

@eddieyan5529 7 дней назад

How did you get the strut back in? Is there a trick I'm missing?
