Don’t worry, I couldn’t leave!

 

Anyone have this spare arm from the drum brake mechanism? Mine fell off and came in contact with the drum, grinding off an end. Dealers don't have it in stock and need to order from Kentucky with two-week lead time:

 

^^^ tough one. maybe cross reference with 4 runner of lexus most likely same brakes

 

a better pic i think

Have you tried calling scrap yards around? Car-part.com

 

Oddly this P/N isn't tied to any model on parts.toyota.com . Ordered. Hopefully it fits

 

What is it with you and rear brakes?

 

^I only break parts that are unobtainium. Did I mention I once broke an LCA bracket on my old Mazda that had to be air-shipped from Hiroshima?

 

dude that's funny.
If you can't get one maybe take the other side off make a template and do some creative grinding??

 

Just wait until a certain one of us decides rear brakes don't matter and they end up in the parts bin

 

Any input on how to mount offroad lights on a stock bumper? Are there specific brackets available or can they be mounted straight on (through) the bumper?
Haven't really taken a look yet, figured I'd ask the experts first

Also contemplating mounting them at the bottom of the A-pillars, but I'm not sure if those ditch light brackets are sturdy enough for KC Daylighters?

 

define
"Offroad lights"

are we talking about a 30" hidden lightbar? ditch lights, a 40" overhead?, hood scewp bar?

bring us back some of that Yukon coffee..... lol. is it called "wired" get it, lights ,coffee, wired. hahaha...

 

few ways to go around with that;
1) there are brackets similar to that Cali raised ones but goes outside in the same location;

could modify one or build a crossbar for the round lights.

2) I've seen one of these but with less lights: (look at customer photos, there is one in there that shows 2, doesn't look bad)

3) this hoop bar thing: 4)do what @Norilsk did; https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=


5) some ideas; https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/8-round-off-road-lights.466023/

6) get fender washers or a 1 inch flat bar and sandwich the plastic and through holes and bolt it.

to name a few ideas

 

That just doubles the workload, caliper, pads, plus linkages for the parking brake shoes:

 

Made a skid plate for the 02 today. still gotta paint and install
