    Yea those 37"s look tiny by comparison :D

    Might as well go full hydro. Seems like you are following the "go big or go home" approach with everything else in the rig. Might as well get the big steering while in there lol

    Haha, that fox sign is awesome.

    I think it is silly when people have a pile of stickers everywhere to show off the brandname of the parts they have:rolleyes:

    I would rather have parts that work as intended... even if the seller was an asshole :p

    There's too manynice guys in the toyota offroad market that leave customers dissapointed and frustrated :(

    Good points. As you put it, the back of the tires just "kiss" the links lol. So I will keep an eye on it and go from there. I might get beadlocks anyway next time I buy wheels...but want to figure this out before I head that direction

    Yea his brake lines leaked like crazy and i had to get other ones, the firewall plate didnt even remotely fit. I spent more time modding it than if i would have just made it myself. He did have the cheapest price on rcvs and the taco brake brackets were nice.

    Zip tie it all the way up and you're good to go. If your rear brakes are newer and correctly adjusted, all four tires will lock up at the same time if you hammer the brakes with it all the way up.
