    It would do it when not breaking, and to be honest with you because it was already shaking, I couldn't tell you if it did it while breaking as well... guess it did since it was already doing it. LOL

    I didn't get up to highway speed on the highway this morning to test it out... a lot of traffic, so I was at about 40-45 and that's it.

    Hahahaha. i was expecting that too . But It came in with the “TOYOTA” logo. I specifically asked the seller about the logo and if it will be shipped with the same package before placing my order.
    I just carefully taped the edges of the letters and painted it red to match the black/red theme on my truck.

    Rotors and pads are an easy fix, even swapping calipers is around 70 bucks with your core if you got seizing pistons. It's and easy diagnosis with pulling of the tire and looking at the pads, spacing and rotor surface

    I want to add the Compass/Temp panel to my overhead console. I know there is a thread here about this that I have checked. Any ideas where I can get the entire console or the piece that replaces the front glass holder? I have the sensor in the front.

    I guess I don't understand? I decided to restore my 06 rather than purchase a new truck. I removed the interior, replaced the carpeting, removed (& replaced after painting) windshield And had all the dents hammered out and straightened. Replaced the left front fender, the tailgate top rail trim piece ,both headlights & the rear bumper as well as new front bumper and fog lights...,:mudding::burnrubber:

    I think it was that your yard looks like a wrecker's yard. He's basically saying "clean up"

    How do you feel about these? I'm between these and Wheelers. About the same price.

    Recently, I finally installed my KC G4 fogs in my rig which was a WAY bigger project than I thought it would be after ordering all the wrong shit and realizing that KC didn't supply the connectors for the 2005-2011 factory fogs that I needed.

    @Taylor@KC HiLiTES helped me out BIG TIME with absolutely superlative customer service which helped me go from holes where lights should be to nice bright fogs that function perfectly.

    fogs1.jpg
    fogs2.jpg
    (only thing now to do is to adjust them so they are aimed a little lower as they are almost level with my regular beams now)

    Also have an Al Transmission Skid from @Mobtown Offroad that should be showing up "soonish" after getting some details with the order straightened out but I'm excited as hell to add to the existing steel IFS skid I've currently got and eventually the transfer case skid, probably a rear HC bumber, etc. ARMOR ALL THE THINGS!
    In addition to that cool stuff, I just ordered a new roof rack to use to store shit when I'm camping/wheeling that I'm pretty hyped on. Probably should start looking at awnings... :spending:

    Still have a laundry list of other stuff to do including the rear diff breather mod, putting some vibration dampening/noise reduction material in the doors, install a "newer" set of OE headlights and possibly take a crack at BHLM with my old ones for shits and giggles...

    The weather has finally started cooling off here in AZ so it's time to start making some trips out to the desert to get things dirty and earn some new scratches!

    That sounds like something I'd do. Or run out of wire.

    Getting resigned to the fact I'll probably run 255/85s when the 265/75s wear out and have to do some clearancing.
