Efrideet

im going to call and speak to both @HeadStrong Off-Road and @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc tomorrow. Whichever outfit can answer my questions and beat the competitor price gets my business. Goal is to have order in and case of beer drank by nights end.

 

Call wheelers first, never had bad service from them although I'm sure Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road is more than capable of solving this conundrum too

 

This is old but whatever.
They came with the 4.3 Lb4 V6 actually, not the buick V6

 

Did you have any issues with a Spongy brake pedal??? Or pedal going down more??
How have they been doing so far? Any issues?

Very much worth the read.

 

That link doesnt have anything to do with the brake upgrade i did on my truck. As the 13WL Tundra brake upgrade, they have been on for 3000 miles. NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. My truck will lock tires up and nose dive heavy damn near causing someone to rear end me if im not careful. This upgrade was more than needed. I feel it should have been this way from the factory. Best money I have spent on the truck so far other than tires.

 

That link was to explain master cylinder ratio. It helps to upgrade both at the same time.

 

ah. I replaced my clutch master and slave awhile back. brake master was replaced with OEM before i bought truck. just a good flush was all that was needed

 

Ok great, our trucks are pretty close in year and I want to get the right parts for the setup.
You used the 13WL Calipers? and the wheelers banjo lines?
I see some of these tundra calipers that have just a hole like a metal line connects to it.
We're there two different styles that were used for the brake lines? A banjo type and or a fixed metal line?
Maybe you can post a photo of ththe back so I know the correct type hose line and that I get the correct type caliper,
Thanks in advance

 

We’re you able to decide what you want?

 

yep. pulling the trigger on the OME 881/Dakar combo with 1/2" aluminum spacers. Gonna have wheelers assemble them because frankly I don't have the time to do it myself at work. I wanna be able to get my truck on a lift, zap out my front struts and swap these in fast. 10 min tops. Rear in like an hour if i just say fuck it and cut it all off.

i went through a lot of your build thread. thanks for helping me decide. in time if i do get armor i can always buy new coils and sell old ones

 

Does @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc have a discount for Tacoma World members? I spoke to a dude named Kelly like 3 times hashing stuff out for the lift. I know that motherfucker was tired of talking to me hahaha. He was very professional, kept his composure and didn't call me a noob ass moron (he should have lol) and genuinely knew wtf he was talking about. Very pleased with my decision to go with them. Just wanna get the best price possible. its fuggin 180 beans to ship that shit O_O

 

I don't think they do.

 

well thats depressing lol

 

That's actually pretty decent for a set of leaf springs. Should have bought a ridgeline w/ independent rear suspension lol

 

bruh. nah.

 

ill use hockey pucks and home depot hardware to lift and cut the fenders on the wife's hyundai accent to fit my wheels and tires before i buy a fucking ridgeline

 

lol it'll be worth it in the end man - I'm glad you can afford front and rear suspension at the same time. Efrideet's gonna be super smooth off road now!

 

fuck off road. at least for right now. i want that bitch to roll my ass to work without scaring me with every creak rattle and pop. potholes are a blood freezing OOOOOHHHHSHIIIITTTT moment

 

She might be a little stiff on road, but that's what taking a couple psi out of the tires is for eh? I'd rather have it that way than a body rolling land barge. Either way exactly what you said.
