    I installed my add w1 oil catch can. Started to make a bracket but didn't like how it was gonna turn out. Instead i just welded a small piece of flat 1/8 inch plate to the bracket that bolts the abs unit down. Turned out perty darn nice, if i do say so myself. Added o rings to both hose fittings, and the dipstick. Also put a glass fuel filter into the return line, just so i can keep an eye on things. Now heres some pics. Oh, and yes i know my engine is dirty

    Anyone paint their brake calipers here?

    The tundra kit I got from LCE looked coated but were raw and have started to surface rust.:mad:

    So I plan to get a brush on kit and just apply it on the truck.

    Original one made no sound at all, couldn't get anybody's attention to express my opinion. ;)
    This one has a much deeper sounding Meep, Meep.

    I just spray painted mine, while they were still on the rotors. Still look good after almost 2 years

    I Like the look of the hand brush painted kits over rattle can, the slight surface rust was a surprise as again I was under the impression they were coated already, they did not look like raw metal at all.

    im sure a little caliper cleaner will get most of it off and ready for paint.

    All the auto parts stores near me sell both the spray cans and the kit you brush on.

    Seems red, black and silver are my options. I was hoping for crazy bright colors like neon green or yellow

    I promise I'll buy you a fine bottle of bourbon if you get a video of your truck airborne with your hand on the horn during the entire flight.

    The Doppler effect with that horn will be priceless.

    Anybody know anything I can clean my power steering pump screen out with? It's making a whining noise and I've done some research and it seems like it just got clogged
