I am planning to install Radflo coilover and rear shocks eventually. I am trying to figure out how to mount my reservoir brackets for the front. If you look under the GX460, there are 2 holes that could be used. These are the same holes that are used to mount the sway bar on non-kdss 4runners. My problem is that one of the hole on each side is covered and there are no threads to screw in the bolts. What would you recommend? I also need to modify the brackets on the driver side since it would hit the KDSS system. I need help with some ideas from you guys. I know a lot of you are very creative. Thanks in advance.

Any way you could use one of those frame rail nuts that have a welded wire to them that you snake in through a larger opening?

Not sure where you would even find for this application so more of a thought. This was a pic of my front recovery point kit.

 

I don't think you are too far off from where I mounted my recovery hooks

 

interesting. The holes mentioned above are right above the KDSS sway bar. Looks like you used the through holes already in the frame.

 

Not sure from your photos. IIRC I had to pop out a plastic insert.

I went in through the hole on right with one of these frame rail nuts to secure the bolt on the left securing the recovery hook.

 

I wonder where I could find these nuts with the wires. I need to see if I could use the fish wire with bolt leader if there is a large enough opening in the frame.

 

Welding in any fashion is one of those things I have always wanted to try out.... still haven't found the time.

That being said you might have better touching base with a local welding shop if they could quickly fabricate something. You may want to research the pitch need on the thread for the bolt. I've approached shops before on similar things and usually it was really cheap or they thought it was such an easy task they declined to charge me. I rewarded them with referrals. Cut to the chase they might have a quick idea and solution to get you where you need to be.

 

There is a vendor that deals with Kinggs, Radflo, Icon, etc. I will see.if they could get the mounts for the 4runner that support the KDSS 4runners. That would probably be the easiest route since it use existing through holes on the frame.

 

I've been in the front wheel well on both a quite a few times and I'm pretty sure the frame in the front are the same between the GX and 5th gen. My memory could be wrong. I know some of the holes are slightly offset in locations along the frame rails. I can take photos of both if you want for comparison. The prime mounting location for the reservoir would be forward of the UCA. If it were me, I'd just drill through the splash guard and mount it in that location.

 

Thanks Tristero. I think I have my concerns addressed. According to the following Icon instructions, I have to cut the tab in the picture below. this should allow me to use that black bracket.
