    What brand did you choose? Got some Big Box rotors once and after indexing three sets near tolerance gave up and bought OEM.

    I went with Napa drums and shoes, mostly because they had them in stock. Autozone reviews was full of bad reviews about the drums being out of round. Seem good so far. One of those things I’m definitely not paying the Toyota OEM premium for, at least not the first time around. We’ll see how they go

    Mine does this exact thing sometimes. I do believe it’s the original though. Haven’t checked anything with a meter or the like. Then again just drove it/driving it this weekend for the first time in a couple months…

    Okay some pictures of the mad science we implemented in my buddy's RX-7... just finishing up the 3d printed bezels. The credit for the software/arduino here goes to @treyus30. Some little things to tweak and they'll be some of the nicest custom gauges I've seen for a Haltech so far.

    We've seen your track record with bumpers, the customer probably wants a finished bumper don't you think?

    Yeah absolutely, I'm actually knocking it out pretty quickly all things considered Fusion makes it easy as hell.

    Just needed his Tacoma here and it was yesterday so I got a ton of parts and about to test cut a piece now.

    Some Baja Squadrons will be mounted to the rear, just need to extend the recovery point so I could weld it to the frame mount on each side

    Ignore the pipe; that's going to be replaced with larger DOM but this maintains the width of everything as the outer parts are tacked together

    That's awesome you got tickets. I hope they show up tonight. If they win you have to go to all the rest of the home games this season.

    I need to become friends with anyone that can run and has access to a 100 ton brake

    20240428_114657.jpg

    Would rather have a single front panel for the plate but it'll have to be split up in 3 pieces

    Don't expect to make another after this one (due to the many still available from vendors) but it'll be nice to have the blueprint created knowing it works

    The pieces are all meant for open corner welds

    Recovery points fully welded, in a better fashion than say Coastal Offroad (but same concept with the sandwiched portion)

    Just having fun with the whole thing!
