Hard to go wrong for the price

 

I think the tranny skid goes above the IFS skid

edit....I looked at that pic wrong. lol. your skids are right

 

I had those same tires. They did well

 

Struts and upper ball joint rebuild kit arrived today.

 

Stoptech/Centric cryogenic rotors and Hawks pads installed Monday. When these burn out I’ll likely do the Cadillac brake upgrade with 17’s and stainless brake lines. If I’m going to dump money on new wheels & tires for brake calipers, I’m going all in. Also waxed the truck tuesday.

Although I forget if the cadillac rotors are 5 or 6 lug...either way I’m fancy. We get it. Tundra brakes when people correct me.

 

Sell it labeled as untested/flooded/totaled

 

That’s what I think of 95% of posts by @Running Man . Usually it’s just poor grammar and run on sentences though.

 

Now that is my exact setup (except not so spotless). Tundra brake conversion still working great

 

Lol I was about to say, that’s how I installed it. I have the transfer case skid coming too, it was just on back order.

 

Pretty sweet truck. I love the Can-Back!!!

 

Thanks, the can back is awesome! Super useful to be able to get to any part of the bed quickly on the trail.

 

I see you picked it up used, may I ask how much? It looks almost new.

 

Got it for sale used off Tacomaworld for about $600 I think. Then I had to drive to Tennessee to pick it up(I live in Cincinnati). When I bought it, it looked brand new and compared to what a new one would cost, I'm happy with my purchase. It only came with mounts for 2 cross bars, so I welded on 2 more tabs to be able to use 4 cross bars.

 

Agreed. Don’t mess with anything other than OEM adjustment cams/bolts. If they’re seized, plenty of saws-all blades and an air hammer-chisel...

 

I took a brand new bottle of anti seize to the tech who did mine, and asked that he use it on every bolt/nut/etc. He gave me back about a half bottle, and I have not found one bolt that wasn't done.

 

When your brake rotors fail inspection...

 

Be prepared... those pads are good at stopping your truck but they put of a hidious amount of dust.

 

I’ve done nothing to the Tacoma’s lately. Sad face now

 

The low met pads or the nao pads or the ceramic pads? I have a ton of pad options laying around, if these are all crap I’ll just grab some hawks
