    Both rigs looking great man! My bumper finally arrived Monday. Getting it on tomorrow along with my 240 Blitz, new 510's! Pretty pumped!:D
    So that is also your red double cab? Love that color. Always have. I think I've watched a lot of that truck on the "Slab" videos by Davtopgun. What exhaust are you running on the '01? I love that sound. It's basically just what I want. Thanks man.

    Yep, both mine. The red one will slowly turn into a crawling machine but that's down the road. Better post pics!! Ya my is in a few and then if you also watch the ones in my thread somewhere there are 2 more. I believe it Is a Flowmaster super 44 series. I'm sure my brother will chime in about it, he got for me as a bday gift.

    You had to say I would chime in about it. Lol. I believe it is the super 44 series. Single in dual out (was gonna put the rest of the piping but he didn't want it) it's dumped right before the axle and needs to be moved to dump behind the axle. It might change the sound of it also. It's deeper sounding in video than in person. It still sounds good. Not raspy but not a V8. I'll be selling my single in single out flowmaster if you want it. Idk what series it is but it sounds good on my V8.


    Alex, get your sliders welded on when you get back home! Lol

    There you have it. Ya I need to! I have to get all the surface rust off since they have been sitting for so long. Then I'll get my buddy to weld them on and and then I'll prime then.

    Welp, got bored after I went shooting today. So I took my sway bar off, haven't tested it yet. And also finally started to make my limb risers that I've been wanting to do. Luckily the limb risers didn't cost me a penny thanks to work and being able to get it from tool room:D

    Little update on the 1st Gen.... Brakes are spongy. Any suggestions? Also looking into putting it back to stock except I want to put some billies and ome coils. Also get rid of the 35s until I can come up with money and parts for solid axle. That will be just a really slow going process.

    Subbed, nice trucks :cool:

    Check your brake fluid and see if bleeding helps.

    Thanks! I've been watching what you do with yours. Mainly the 4runner. I have and that solves it for a few days then goes back to spongy. Could it possibly be old lines so air is getting in some how? Never really messed with brakes other than changing them and bleeding them.

    Is it leaking anywhere? Have you worked on them recently? It could just need some fresh fluid in it. If water gets in the system it will boil and create air in the lines.

    Haven't worked on it lately. Haven't seen any leaks either, only leak I see is oil leak:( so would I just drain the old and put in new and just bleed them for a while? Or take it to get done?

    You can flush yourself with somebody to press the brake pedal. You empty the MC, fill with fresh fluid, then bleed the entire system until fresh fluid comes out and keep the MC topped off.

    Assuming this is your issue. I'm no expert either and and am not sure what else to suggest.
