    You mean the Powerstop kit?

    The only reason I refuse to buy it (honestly) is the calipers are red... and I hate red... and I don't want to have to paint the calipers.

    Pretty funny though. I hate red... even though my Taco is Impulse red.

    True, it would clash with the different color red body. They'll look great on my white Taco though :rolleyes:

    When I bought my Taco, it was the best condition, lowest mile Taco available in the area at the time... I held my nose and bought "the burgandy tacoma"

    I have never... till recently... liked the color (actually I hated the color). But 13 years (and 180,000 miles) after I bought the truck, and now that I'm finally doing some things to make it more than just a commuter truck... I'm starting to think of her as.

    El Taco Diablo and/or The Deadpool Taco

    Funny thing is, I like my truck more today than I did 13 years ago when I parked it in the driveway when I forgot to ask my wife permission to buy it.

    I sold my 92 3.4 swapped Auto/SR5 Toyota Pickup extra cab to get into the double cab. Because kids. I still miss the Pickup and want it back... bad. It had stock 4.88 gears and the motor I rebuilt and dropped in only had 130k on it. My DC has 280K.... and 4.10's :pout:

    Same thing happened to me with my Duratracs. All four wheels had curb damage to the point that the powder coating came off. One was worse than the others...tires were fine.

    Those are the tires I originally wanted to buy (the Wildpeak M/T). They were out of stock by the time I made my purchase so I opted for the STT Pros. This was during discount tires ebay sale at the end of October.

    Wrapped up a slightly different take on the pinch weld mod today - trying to save my fender liners by reforming, rather than cutting them.

    read the details here: Finally, the Pinch Weld Mod

    Thats really a killer deal for a set of 5. KM2's, STT PROs, and MTR's all run around the $1100-1300ish range without mounting and balancing. Now that I think of it, most of the guys I follow on insta are running them too.

    Stuff and junk and things...
    What's your time worth? I just did the tundra swap and for the cost of the Eclipse Napa calipers that come in black, the time to rebuild isn't worth it to me.
