Paquu's build

Relentless full predator with sliders came in today.




Rigid DOTs W/ amber covers .Hoping they help in the night time rain and fog. we will find out.

 

I'm like what I see! You're going to love that bumper... and you're truck is going to look killer!

 

Thanks man. I Appreciate the compliments.

 

Truck looks great! Cant wait to see that bumper on there.

 

A quick update shot.





Sliders primed. Weathertechs trimmed and in, Coils, shackles, Spacer, and exhaust relocation arrived.





Coils, shackles, windshield and a good washtomorrow. Sliders won't be going on for a long time as some body work needs to be done first.

Will take some better pictures after that

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks!

 

Lookin good! Familiar looking front end

Would this complete the setup?

Thanks!

 

Hey Troy,
Sorry for the delay. All the pieces seem to be there, however the problem is I don't know if the wheeler's banjo fittings are compatible with those calipers. Unfortunately I can only speak for the setup I have. You will also need tundra caliper bolts which no one seems to make note of. I would either call that vendor and ask, or get a hold of some remanufactured ones and use caliper paint on them. (Im assuming you want the red)

I edited the information on my first page. All the part numbers and quantities are available for reference.

Tundra brake upgrade:
Calipers:
Front left
Front Right
OEM Tundra caliper bolts (x4) Toyota part # 9008010298
OEM Tundra rotors (x2) Toyota part # 435120C011
OEM Tundra pads Toyota part # 0446535290
OEM Tundra shim kid Toyota part # 0494535120
OEM caliper brake retaining pin clip (x4) 4774935040
Wheelers offroad SS braided brake lines:



The only thing i would change in my setup is some low dust brake pads. The brake dust is a huge pain to clean off black rims.


EDIT: I forgot to note
1) Don't forget to bleed the brakes furthest from master cylinder to closest. AFTER THAT bleed LSPV in rear.
2) In my experience, braking felt weird for the first couple hundred miles. Its much better now.
3) You will have to trim the dust shield.
4) Speedys garage also has a youtube channel. He does the swap on his for runner and has a video. He uses hardline fittings, not the wheelers SS lines, but it still might be worth a watch to you.
5) PB blast the crap out of the fittings and bolts multiple times for a week before you start, especially where the upper part of the wheelers line will connect. Save yourself the frustration.

Thanks man! We'll see how it goes.

 

Thanks again man, got everything buttoned up and its awesome!

 

Lookin' good Troy!

So the kit ended up working out for you?

Mine have already saved me from 2 accidents so far, so I'm happy lol.

 

Yep! First calipers I received had a gouge in the mounting surface where the banjo bolt sits and would leak. Got some new ones and they work perfect! Sticker looks awesome and I finished bedding in the brakes last night. Its got some great stopping power now!

Thanks for your help! Also, I could reuse the Tacoma caliper bolts.

 

Good man I'm glad it worked out for you.

As for this thread, I won't be making any purchases any time soon. Super busy and broke since I'm back to school. I've been wanted to get some good night shots of my rigid DOTs compared to my headlights. I'm really happy with them. Also bought more fluid film to prep for winter.

 

Hey man, if its possible can you take a picture behind your front bumper showing the pods?

 

Hope this helps. Its really hard to fit my phone in to the space....

What you thinking Troy?

 

Thanks man! Thats just what i needed.


Were you able to fit your orange covers over the pods when they are stuffed like that?

 

I have not actually put them on yet... but they will definatley fit.

My original plan was to get a rx350 retrofit with lens, bla bla bla and just use the pods strictly as fog light (hence the covers). But since Ive been tight on money and time, that plan has been put on the back burner.

The stock anzo headlights are no comparison to the pods. Highway coverage is 2 lanes left and 2 lanes right. They throw alot of light forward too, but its not really as usable light when driving. But they are definitely worth the purchase imo.

I still want to get some good night shots to show them off. Theres not many pictures online to give them justice.

Im just so busy between school and work that finding time is difficult.
