    Yesterday I de-burred & bent over the fender tabs for both front wells; and made up a front passenger well liner.

    I discovered that I accidentally cut into the floor pan on both sides behind the wheel wells. :(

    So today I sealed the cuts up with silicone & then taped them over with foil tape. I also sealed up old liner holes with the tape. Prime’d, undercoated, & painted everything.

    The undercoating was still too soft to continue with the liner project. So I switched gears & relocated the rear wheel well/bed-side brackets. I used a conduit bender to modify the forward brackets; and I cut an inch off of the rear brackets.

    Great experience working with @discountire to replace the rims and tires on my Tacoma. Best price, very friendly and the truck was done in under an hour.

    Replaced these with Powerstops last night. I’m glad I did as one of my rotors was cracked. No pic of new as I was out of daylight and needed to break them in. They are a great upgrade.

    Nice upgrade! Was there a reason you decided to replace it?
    I did Powerstop too, to resolve "warped" rotors. It's been great ever since replacing.

    Did a thorough hand wash that I’ve put off long enough and cleaned the inside. Hoping to do a detail and wax in upcoming weeks before it sees the coast!

    I really just need to bite the bullet and pick a nice ceramic. I’ve used Gyeon trim for plastics and it looks good as new still over a year later.

    Thanks. A couple of reasons. I knew I would be replacing pads soon and was getting a flutter while braking, especially on long inclines, so I figured something was up. I suspect the crack in the rotor was causing some or all of that. Also just bought a 5x10 utility trailer and wanted something better suited for towing. I’ve heard really good things and the price was reasonable.

    I have to ask, what is the reasoning for creating tabs along the fender?
