2024 Toyota Tacoma
TOP PLATE REINFORCEMENT KIT

 

 

As much as we love the new 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma, our initial durability testing did reveal one weakness in the OE suspension. We discovered that the front upper shock mount and shock stem bushing may fail under hard use. So we developed this Top Plate Reinforcement Kit to remedy this issue and prevent such damage. Check out this video that shows us discovering the issue in real time, then developing this inexpensive upgrade that is essential for any 2024 Tacoma running the factory suspension components off-road:

 

 

This kit supports and reinforces the factory upper shock mount. It will also capture and retain the shock stem bushing if a failure does occur. ICON recommends this upgrade on any 2024 Tacoma that gets driven vigorously off-road using the OE front coilover shocks. 

 

The Top Plate Reinforcement is quick and easy to install, as there is no need to jack up the vehicle or even remove the tire (though we removed the tire for these photos to provide a clear view). Simply remove the three coilover top mount nuts, install the Top Plate Reinforcement, and re-torque the nuts. The reinforcement plate is CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum. It does not affect or limit the factory suspension performance in any way.
