This is why China won't take our recycling anymore

 

Wait people still buy music

 

I mean, if you're listening through Apple/YT/Spotify, yes. The artist is still getting paid even if you don't directly buy the digital/physical media

 

Oh no I don't weld them anymore. If I don't weld it on the bench Maybe a couple tacks to keep it from rotating but I clamp now

 

Finally working on the truck again today. Realized on Wednesday my parts order from ToyotaPartsDeals had some missing components. I've been talking with their support and they required photos of the order box, label, every part I did receive, etc. Good times. At least they've been consistently responding to me.

 

Ahhhh that's a fun dance.

I went through that with ECGS because the little bag of fittings for the ARB hook up fell out of the box which had ripped during shipping. I understand being thorough but requesting a $20 part on a $2400 order doesn't seem crazy. What was I gonna do, have double brass fittings on the diff? Sell it for a $15 personal gain?

 

@Ozark_RegCab I got to hang out with Jacob today in LIT R & C. The Tundra is 2WD. That doesn't stop him from having a hell of a lot of fun.

I think I’ve seen his tundra near Richland Creek

 

Just inspected my front brake lines. Anyone selling some braided front ones haha.

 

I'd split a braided set with you, I need a +10 or +12 rear but already have braided fronts

 

Yeah, I had a fun time with Langmuir regarding my system.

Customer service was super quick to handle stuff without question. Sent an email, got a respose followed by a tracking number of said part.

The issue was in the quality control.

For starters, it was a missing cable.

Second, I got the wrong base leg as there are two patterns for the bolt holes on the legs.

Third, the Z Axis coupler wasn't tightened down from factory so I tried it myself only for the socket caps to strip inside. This hasn't been taken care of yet but they are willing to send a new assembly, just waiting on my response.

Four, the caster plate was mangled (by me) when I removed it from the incorrect leg to insert it into the correct leg. Guess they assumed I would've been able to retrieve it no problem?

Last but not least some missing hardware (which I got at HD anyway).

 

Im in, which ones you thinking? I got a ridiculously over long rear one when I got rid of the lspv for some reason it didn't occur to me that I should just buy a whole set.

 

Is the caliper fitting the same on 89-95 and 96+?

I know the rear is actually the same since like 79

Those don't work on tacos cause they use a banjo on the caliper side

 

I bought some brake lines from O'Reilly and found the bore was slightly larger than OEM. Then I bought some braided lines from LCE and refuse to use them.

I kept the O'Reilly lines. Three years later they are still working fine.

 

What's wrong with the LCE ones?

 

No experience with them, and don't know nothing about stainless brake lines, but... this exists.

I didn't like the banjo bolt fitting and it seemed like they were going to rub. Never finished the installation. I also bought Wheelers that I did not install.

 

Those look good.
