    I definitely plan on doing this myself. The write-up will really help the process.

    Before I start ordering parts I just need to crawl under there, clean everything up and drive it around to determine that this is the leak point.

    Unfortunately not... if I would have realized 16" wheels were necessary before I bought my 33"ko2's for my existing 15's last fall I would be... I do have to replace fronts and rears... 265,000 on the rears and 100,000 on the fronts. To the best of my knowledge, wife was the previous owner and doesn't recall ever replacing the rear brakes. So I will be doing a full overhaul including fluid and reservoir.

    Steel wheel 15? Some will fit. The shape of the inside of the wheel can be an issue. My aluminum 16s give about 3/8 of an inch. What back spacing?

    Anybody have a link to the blank cover for switches? I bought a switch panel and will start collecting my switches soon. For the time being i would like to insert the blank ones. Cant seem to find them.

    TIA

    Blank covers new will cost as much as a switch

    Installed my OEM replacement Bilsteins on the front. The truck seems to ride a lot nicer vs. the Tockicos. The weird part is the front looks a little higher. I'm sure it will settle.

    Not hard at all, just don't overtighten the valve cover bolts because you'll crack the valve cover casting.
    Lol that's my 1996 single cab "Tank" that I've had since I was 16. Actually you just reminded me that I need to change my info up because I have neither the blue truck nor the Tundra anymore:rofl:

    I go through a lot of trucks but I'll keep Tank Forever..
