Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

Given how little load there actually is on that bolt a cotter pin would probably be safer than a nut. Especially if you have double shear tabs on the bolt.

It’s an easy, and relatively inexpensive fix. I think I spent about $200 more than I would have replacing the factory rotors and pads with the upgrade. Makes stopping with 33” tires feel a lot safer. I couldn’t imagine running 35’s safely on factory Tacoma brakes.

 

Good you caught it! That would have been one screwed up resi hose and who knows what else.

 

Lugnuts go on after the wheels and you have that one backwards

 

I have aftermarket pads and rotors so not sure what you’re getting at?

 

The calipers have bigger pistons, rotors are a little larger, and the pads are larger. All in all its a cheap factory parts upgrade. Only caveat is you have to run 17" wheels.

 

What size & offset F5 am I looking at here? Very clean! Makes me love my access cab even more

 

16x8, 3.5BS/-25 offset

 

Pretty much what he said. And if there’s nothing wrong with your brakes then it’s not like you absolutely have to upgrade or anything. But I had a stuck piston on my right caliper and needed to replace it. And rather than replace it with stock Tacoma parts, I opted for the larger pistons in the OEM T4R calipers and used the larger OEM T4R rotors and OEM pads. With the upgrade to larger, heavier tires I figured using OEM parts designed for larger, heavier Toyota vehicles would help keep my braking power consistent and thus keep the modified truck “safer”. I also have 17” wheels and don’t ever plan on dropping down to 16’s.

 

Guess it’s time to finish the bumper

 

You did it on the wrong truck.

Supposed to be on the white one that is in my garage.

The t4r is neither larger nor heavier than a tacoma.

 

The t4r are inherently heavier. From the factory, Tyler’s truck weighs like 700 more than me.

 

Is that actual curb weight. But then look at your truck vs Tyler's runner vs the 3rd gens. Third gens are heavier than 2nd and still get wimpy little brakes.

 

This is all the trimming I had to do to clear 295’s lock to lock full bump

 

Party on
