    Whatever’s going on here definitely wouldn’t work for me, that’s where my left foot goes.

    Looks great, I might do the same type of setup. I originally wanted a front line lock too (poor man's cutting brake) but may forgo that for now.

    I guess it's better than hanging one foot out the window.

    Is this a photo of your truck after trying that maneuver?

    My truck weighs 5600 lbs fully loaded, on 35's. The stock brakes aren't doing the trick.

    Tell me more on this custom thread that lets you go right into the master cylinder. Tundra brakes and manual bpv is next on the list along with abs controller removal.

    Also I’ve seen @Rockbaron1 has a sweet and stupid easy e-brake removal trick. His cable basically goes down to a pulley and locks his brake pedal down.

    Front Range Offroad has a kit with a Wilwood manual proportioning valve, and they make two short lines with fittings to make it plug and play. The Wilwood has SAE threads, and our master cylinder is metric threads, so the two short lines have one metric and one SAE fitting so it fits right in line with your rear brake line.

    I like the brake pedal trick, that is pretty simple.

    I recently added dual batteries. Put the second in the cab; something I think most don't do, so it might be new for you... MOAR Power, More Redundancy - Dual AGM Battery Install

    [​IMG]

    So yeah, late to the party...but I put a single in the engine bay in a location that most don't use. Should be free space for you, I think. Anyway, worth mentioning I thought... ARB CKMA12 on-board air compressor

    [​IMG]

    Seems you're really taking that new job seriously as you process your photos and post up to TW, ;) hahahahahaha.

    Nice smattering of photos, can't wait to start looking through the mine later this evening. :thumbsup:

    Dang, that would have been a good video. Need to start thinking of that more when there are a bunch of cameras around. Some photos, some vids.


    Love that you can't even see @mrs.turbodb b/c the water blocks her on the far bank.
