    Hehehe...they've been washed a few times thanks to mother nature! Light degreasing this afternoon and I'll be rid of them for good!

    I used a long fishtank air hose when troubleshooting brakes on a Honda once. Just run the hose from bleeder valve all the way to the reservoir so you don't waste fluid trying to chase air bubbles. Turned out to be a poorly repaired abs wire making the light come on intermittently. Glad I didn't waste gallons of fluid figuring that out. :anonymous:

    As per usual, this is snowballing and now I'm looking at putting 4runner brakes up front as well as a sequoia master cylinder.

    Would the larger calipers for the 338mm rotors get that banjo closer or further to where it hit the LT kit?

    I haven't a clue. If I were to go down this path, the brakes would take priority and then I do what's necessary to not lose braking function, i.e. limit steering, cut away tabs on the LCA, etc.

    Definitely not 40s but 37s are never off the table. I would just need to beef up braking and steering first.

    The half doors are a pretty good middle ground though, and look good.

    Someone just has to build him some and give them as a gift so he feels obligated to use them.

    I was just commenting to my wife last night about how poorly the truck was stopping...which is extra crappy because I just put new rotors, calipers, and pads on to the tune of 750 bucks a few months ago. Should have done the conversion then...
