    Shoot i was about to bid free99. You could even donate to a local ifs user near you. Just one axle a month would give me months of work.

    Good to see you up again, hope you're doing better

    The motto “TRY OUT MY CRAWLER FOR A DAY” is better. Owner still owns the truck and is paying it forward by allowing poor people such as myself to feel rich for a day. Just saying….

    Here you go Fernando, she’s finally sitting on 42. I had to crank it up a little to give her some clearance. Maybe once I cut, I’ll lower it back down. Added the air bump that been sitting on the shelf for a year and front sway bar from TK1 that took 6 months to figure out after some exchanges.

    Thats a sexy bich!

    and it runs. Unlike mine! Lol. My brake fluid is disappearing, might be the o rings on the reservoir. Leaking bad. Then, she starts blowing smoke when she gets low on fluid. Weirdest shit ever. Im still running the yota hydraulic booster. What are you running bro? My buddy has an 07 f250 booster that i can have. Not sure how simple that upgrade is

    I’m running Toyota stuff. pre-2000 Tacoma dual diaphragm brake booster with 1” MC. Test it one the 42s at 50mph and bitch still lock up.

    what’s smoking when it’s low?

    Can’t really speak for those running wonton. So no really solution on my end. Seen a few of the old pickup run the sky’s adapter: https://www.skysoffroaddesign.com/p...Acyz5NkMiwqnkHrbDa_yqdcFfBJ8plf1aJw-HVWKzh_fm

    I met a 04 DC guy in Vegas last year and he was running kp60 with 14b and had factory setup. He said it brake fine? Idk, maybe he was throwing jabs, maybe he wasn’t. It’s worth a shot if you so have the factory setup. Only thing sucks is you have to flare the hard line with metric fittings vs standard.

    Or try the 1t t100 setup. Dual diaphragm booster with 1-1/16” MC. I bought it, was about to change it then found a sweet deal on a 1” MC / dual diaphragm 3G4R setup for 60 buck vs ~400ish or so. Ended up going that route until I was able to source a used t100 or pre2000 Tacoma setup.

    my buddy finished his SA with TG axle and his Tacoma brake like shit with the Tacoma 15/16” MC. I ended up donating the 4R setup to him because it was sitting in the garage and it made a world of difference.
