Colorado B.S. Thread

My new brake lines I need to install.
I think I've had them for about 2 months and keep forgetting about them.

 

yeah no doubt... then again, I took the left route, didn't realize there was two until I was already committed... but the stock Tacoma's walked the same way we went down

 

Cimarron and 31st happened.

I wasn't there ... Wife and kid in it when it happened. Everyone's OK including the occupants of the other vehicle.

I'm planning on taking the front Icon CO's and bumper off before they total it / haul it. I wish I didn't toss the stock UCAs. I would like to recover the LR on there. I hope they don't give me a hard time about it not having a front bumper when they take it.

 

Dude that sucks, happy to hear all are ok.
I would strip it and not care, someone some where is going to take those parts, might as well be you since you paid for them. I would take everything off that I put on and let them use a flat bed to tow it a way.
Are those icon long travel coilovers?

 

they shouldn't... but guess it depends on the adjuster and company...

I totaled a motorcycle (small wreck but scratched the frame=automatic total) they didn't care that I pulled the rearsets (foot pegs and shifters) and clutch and brake levers and had them take it without either. course 5k bike vs 25k truck... who knows.

good luck!

oh and very glad to hear everyone was ok!

 

SoCo sorry to hear what happend. Glad the fam is ok. I'm pretty sure you could get away with taking parts.... I would.

 

Playing in the sand at work

 

I have some stock UCAs I could give you for pretty cheap

 

Haha, the look on your face when you jumped out of your truck after the rock. "Oh, he made it?"

How is the highway drone with the V Force?

 

Another day, another awesome campsite.

 

I have a set that i have been sitting on for about a year now. I do not want to do it myself because I don't trust myself with such a vital safety system. Plus I have never bled a brake system and getting out all the bubbles, I have heard, is a bitch. But I don't want to sell them because the next time I have to get my brakes serviced I will just tack that on and pay for the piece of mind knowing that it is done right.

 

PSA: I just installed mine, these lines have less thread engagement than the factory ones (on my 4R anyway) and the threads on the nuts were already over-tightened/stripped from the factory so I had to reflare the lines and replace the nuts, PITA.

 

Agreed on the bleeding, going to redo mine right now after they leaked and I had to redo the nuts yesterday.

 

truck is back together. Feels so nice to be driving my own truck again

 

I'll bet it does! That big old pig you were driving around… Oh wait, it wasn't that much bigger than my truck. How does it feel with the new gears?
