I noticed that the bilstein shocks on the taco have an adjustment knob.   I see no documentaion in the manual
and dont see anything on the bilstein site that looks the same either.   My adjustment knobs seem to be fused into place and dont turn.    Is there a method to adjusting them?   and what are the settings for softer or harder ride?   Huh?

 Huh? Im not sure, they dont seem to be any of the ones listed on the bilstein site, before rust, they appear to be gold in color.   Ive not been able to see a model number yet.   I thought they were a stock thing on the trd o/r.

Yea, the stock shocks are gold colored and I haven't found any information on them either but I doubt they are adjustable.

What are you hoping to accomplish?

I will try to get a pic of one and post it - there is a little red adjustment knob near the bottom of the cylinders,
I imagine it has to do with soft<>hard dampening, but i dont see any markings,  and they seem to be rusted into place.
