ICON XD Forged Tie Rod Kit 55166 for 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010-2014 FJ Cruiser

The strength limitations of the 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser's factory steering tie rods have been well documented over the years, especially by Toyota owners who venture into the big rocks with big tires. These ICON XD Forged Tie Rods remedy this with better materials and beefier dimensions than the stock units. The inner tie rod and ball stud is CNC machined from 4140 chromoly with metal-on-metal bearing surfaces for durability that far exceeds the plastic inner races of the factory components. The adjustment threads are 12% larger in diameter compared than stock Tacoma tie rods for a further increase in strength. The outer tie rod is forged steel and has the same profile as the stock tie rods for fitting all of the Tacoma's factory wheel diameters and offsets, along with just about any aftermarket wheel. The tie rod end is a beefier, metal-on-metal joint that is greaseable for extended service life and has the same range of operating angle as the stock tie rod ends. For the most hardcore of off-roaders, the ICON XD Forged Tie Rod kit is recommended as part of a comprehensive steering system upgrade strategy. ICON XD Forged Tie Rods offer significant increase in strength with better materials and beefier dimensions than the stock tie rods while also capable of same range of motion and offer same tire fitment as OE units.

The ICON XD Forged Tie Rod Kit, part number 55166, is designed to strengthen the steering system of 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner and 2010-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser models. It provides a more durable alternative to factory tie rods for off-road vehicles equipped with larger tires or regularly exposed to demanding terrain. The kit uses stronger materials, reinforced components, and metal-on-metal joint surfaces to improve durability while maintaining factory-style steering movement and wheel fitment.
The inner tie rod and ball stud are CNC machined from 4140 chromoly steel for increased strength and long-term service. The adjustment threads are 12% larger in diameter than stock Tacoma tie rod threads, adding further resistance to bending and damage. Inner tie rod boots are included to help protect the steering rack and internal components from dirt, water, and trail debris. The outer tie rod ends are made from forged steel and retain a factory-compatible profile for use with original and many aftermarket wheels.
The ICON XD outer tie rod ends feature greaseable metal-on-metal joints with grease fittings for easier maintenance and extended service life. These joints provide the same operating angle as the original equipment components while offering a more robust design for severe off-road use.
