I’ll be curious to see how you like the upgraded pads and rotors. I’ll have to keep them in mind when my 4R needs brakes.

 

I already ran the combo on my Tacoma and really liked it, so I kinda went straight for the same combo on the 4R.

The Brembo UV coat, at least in the year and change I had them, kept the non swept surfaces looking pristine. Can't hardly complain, rotors did rotor things and didn't look like rust.

The pads were okay on dust but quiet and had noticeably improved initial bite and felt very linear. Far as I've heard they literally are just the TRD performance pads sans paint and TRD markup.

 

Anyone have a powder coating shop they recommend? My bumper will arrive soon and would like to get this scheduled

 

Vyne Powder Coating in Mesa https://vynepowdercoating.com/
Have used them for years for truck and bicycle parts and used them for my business when I had it. Great quality and they stand behind their work. Ralph the owner is a cool dude.

 

I would say the same! Ralph is a cool dude and has coated out carts for just about ten years! Great company and quality work!

 

70 miles on dirt today. Nothing hard just a nice drive with the wife. Did Bloody Basin road to Sheeps bridge also explored a few of the off shoots on the way to bridge. Then crossed the Verde river and did the Backway to Sheeps Bridge back to pavement. I don't take a lot of pics but here's a few.

 

Ugh that shit box is still in the middle of the road?


This is an interesting route out of the same area. Cut north from bloody basin just past 7 springs rd junction and head up to dugas. Little bit of everything from fast to you'll regret taking a stock height taco if you have predator steps or are lacking skid plates. 104 mile loop. There's a few campsites out there prob makes a better overnighter than day trip TBH.

 

Is that a poor little Mitsubishi? a Saturn?

 

Wanna say it was a Kia or Hyundai but I can't remember it was facing the way out so not sure if someone in over their head or just a ditched stolen car if was a Kia or Hyundai prob the later

Well, it deserves to be shot up for having the gas fill on the wrong side.

 

Well guys, I have another question. My LCA alignment tabs are bent to shit, which causes me to not be able to get my wheels castored as far forward as I would like. Not a big deal, but I rub a little with my 265/75r16s. I was looking into fixing this to potentially go up tire sizes in the future, and I got a quote from AZ Toy Pro for about $900 PLUS the cost of the Total Chaos gusset kit!

Is there another route that I can go? Any other shops that may be cheaper? I can't weld, so I know I will have to pay a penny for someone else who can, but that seems like a lot of money to me. Thanks in advance.

 

What you are calling the “wrong” side is actually considered the correct side in the rest of the world. The idea is, in the unfortunate circumstance that you run out of gas, you arent standing in the road to fill the tank.

Happy to weld some gussets and swap you to Taco tabs!
We can work something out and not charge you an arm to do some simple welds

Oh! Look at that.

 

Unless you're in England, Australia, Japan, etc...

 

Unless unless they still have their fillers on the passenger side…

 

they aint workin' that logic. all my made in japan land cruisers have the filler on the right hand side, wich will put you in the lane of traffic in the country of origin, my made in America Taco has the cap on the left hand side..
