Right, and I mentioned earlier the dampers in the 60s cameras convertibles... those were a counterbalance damper, one in each corner. The trick is, those have real.movement to dampening. Putting what is basically a shock absorbers parallel to a rigid frame.member cannot dampen much.... Like I...

My thoughts as well..... I think we'd be better off with sound mats in the body panels.... OP though says he feels improved handling...which for what these are, I can't see...

LOL - it's a manual 'brake pedal' for trailers that are equipped with brakes... so you can apply brakes to the trailer without hitting the brake pedal - if you're going down the highway and things get a little wobbly, you might want to just touch the trailer brakes to get things behaving...

Bummer - thought maybe the wiring was in there already like many other things are....

If it helps, I didn't find the comments to be BS - just maybe a little condescending LOL! As a longggg time mechanic, who also builds things, designs things, and studied engineering a bit - that's where I"m coming from trying to understand what movement (vibration is movement) they're damping....

Great post!!! While I haven't taken the thing offroad yet - that camera popup has beenmaking me crazy - as I'm stopping I'll go to look at what song is playing, or to change the station (I pretty well ignore the screeen while driving) and so often right as I look it blinks to camera ARGHH...

LOL, that's not a problem for me either, for my needs it's a handful of 2x4s. Or a few sheets of plywood or sheetrock... But it's still a valid point!

My 1991 MR2, that has lived outside since I got it, doesn't show that much rust (never went out in snow or rain) They used to have several pages derailing all the rust-prevention in the cars... galvanized, coatings, special finishes etc. Dropping a lot of money on a vehicle, only to see rust...

LOL, I'll make it happen... I'm seeing the Yakima racks that mount to the retrax... I could pop on a single bar on the rear, and be good. But if it was matching that would be a bonus. Also I'm looking for functionality, for when I need to haul some lumber or other long items.

What I'd like, is a rear bar i can pop on when I need it, that matches the ARB bar...using the T slots in the Retrax bed cover...

Did mine early last month, easy project!

Yikes! Here I was thinking it would be a $3-400 gimmick.....

You sound like you didn't quite get what I wrote..... Yes, you are dead on about movement and flex.... but I'm talking about mounting a damper right next to a strong crossmember, that will stop lateral movement that said damper is supposed to damp... if the trailer hitch wasn't there, I could...

Looking at the spindly rear 'damper' next to and parallel to , a 60mm square tube bolted across the same points and gotta seriouisly question Toyota's pitch (and both of their videos sounded more like marketing than any kind of techcnical explanation) and I can't help saying, there's not going...

Thanks - next question hit me - how much disassembly was involved? ah, and power - hardwired or plug in someplace?

Plug and Play - are they pre-cut to length too?

Nice if you live on the west coast....

It's they supposedly can't TELL us to do it (if anything, I'll be looking into that) might try it anyway. ( I wish they would tell us flat out "no, won't work" or "wink wink nudge - no we can't tell you to"

OK - so we have yet another person (on another forum) with a '26 hybrid with the same symptons as me - switched to the PInk CAN line, and while the boards work - they cause a dozen codes and system failures. My update; a few days back I completely disconnected the running boards - removed the...

And for theTrailhunter?
