cbechtold's Long Travel IFS Crawler Tacoma Build and BS Thread

Yep. T100 booster and master because of the Tundra calipers up front and Sequoia calipers in the rear.

 

Do you have disk brakes in the rear?

 

I will. I have a Sequoia axle is sitting under the truck now and ready to go in once I finish up the brakes.

 

Oh right!

 

Only reason for new brake lines is because you're getting rid of ABS right? Or is that because of the new rear brakes?

 

It's because of the ABS delete. There's no reason for the new lines if you're keeping ABS.

 

How did your Pedal fit?

When I did T100 booster/master it made the pedal travel all wonky.

 

Pedal fits fine. I had to pull out all the existing linkage. I'm probably going to pull the pedal out and drill a hole a little higher up compared to stock to get smoother pedal travel since I'm using washers to angle the booster. Would also allow the booster to seal properly against the firewall.

 

I also pulled the linkage, but also found if I trimmed ~5-6 threads of the t100 rod then it fit OK with one of the clevis's I don't think I spaced the booster unevenly... still not 100% happy with my setup, curious to see how you like whatever solution you end up with.

 

Hi

 

Yeah, fitment is a bit wonky out the gate. I'll probably post about it once it's all finished and buttoned up.

 

Hello

 

Okay. Here's hopefully the last update on the whole front end before she's back on all 4. Got all the brake lines bend up and test fitted. Pretty happy with how these came out for never really working on brake lines before.

The line going from the master cylinder to the rear brakes could be a lot better if I'm being honest, but I think the fitting on the frame might leak since it might be bottoming out on threads. Going to be awhile until I know since I need to plumb the rear brakes first.

I also received motor mounts from @Bonzen for the truck. My old motor mounts were basically ready to come apart, plus the passenger side one did split in 2 after I got the motor out.

And there is out current state of affairs. Still a lot of work to do, but I'm excited to move on from the front and get the Sequoia axle swapped in along with a few more goodies. Actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as well since motor stuff is starting to arrive. I've got a few things I'm still waiting on, but hopefully soon I'll have everything and we can really get this party started.

 

Those brake lines look great

 

Thanks Ian!

 

Glad they made it! And I second it, the brake line fab looks legit.

 

Thanks man! I'll get the OEM mounts mailed back to you here soon.

 

It’s looking great!
I can’t wait to see this beast out on the trails!

 

Thank! Same here Mark. Getting closer everytime. I'm probably going to miss out on summer wheeling, but I'm definitely getting into some snow this Winter.

 

Nice progress Cory! Brake lines look professional. And Those motor mounts look sick! When will the motor be done? Are you planning on being down for all wheeling season?
