Forty Below Build- 01 DC LT Build

@SilverGhost

 

Thanks bud I've been on vacation with the family. I haven't been on much. Thanks for the link and tag. I'll go the same route you did with the brakes.

 

No problem and good luck. I hate doing anything that involves brake fluid.

 

So how are the napa calipers doing for ya? Any issues? Do they come bare metal? I would like to paint mine. That's why I'm asking.

 

I put them on, drove a few miles and the truck hasn't moved from the garage since then. The calipers come painted. The paint seems to be good. But I can't vouch for durability.

 

Somewhere in the back corner I think there is a DC Tacoma laying around.

 

It's fine if they come black. I'm cool with that. I was going to paint them blue. Maybe another time. I found a napa close to my place that has them. But I need cores from a junk yard before I pick them up. It will save me 80-90 bucks.

 

I just turned in my Tacoma cores. Leave them covered in grease and brake fluid. No one will even pick them up out of the box.

 

Good advice! I'll do the same. I think I might still have a set I took off the 4x4 spindles I got when I did the conversion.

 

Proportioning valve installed today. I didn't have a problem with any of the flare nuts. Im amazed they weren't seized up. Once I get the frame boxed in I'll mount it up.
Thanks goes out to this post for the info. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/jds-02-tacoma-build.126596/page-12#post-4964121

 

jump it yet?

 

Oh yea, jump it all the time in my dreams.

 

@-40 do you still have the modified banjo bolt brake lines? (obviously not installed) Looking to buy some so when I do the upgrade. If not how much did you drill?

 

I have the lines, I'll have to look for the bolts. Can't recall the exact amount I drilled. Think it was a 1/16" larger then the original hole.

 

You looking on keeping them? May just buy em off you if you don't need em

 

Looks fine to me, just a little rubbing I assume

 

I set a grinder down and the plastic coating melted. PM if you want them.

 

If you mean that garage ornament I have sitting on blocks, then thank you!
I really need to get moving on this project
