    :rofl:

    I try to be a 40 year old grom. I used to be down to surf anything that came at me, now anything over 15 ft on the face isnt too much fun for me. I prefer 8-10 ft on the face. Watching pipe break at 10ft hawaiian pretty much will put you in your place.

    Damn I wish I surfed but never did. And I made the body surfing comment being kinda dumb and funny as I know it doesn't compare to surf :D:rofl:
    But it is still a lot of fun for noobs that like the ocean
    You still surf a lot then?

    Might have to get a set of those for the 4runner (not from that guy, from Napa or something). Direct bolt on. Need to research it to see if they are the same or better than the 5th gen 4runner brake upgrade first.

    Nothing compares to being pinned to the Ocean bottom by 5 million Lbs of salt water with 50 Lbs of wet sand packed into neoprene knickers :duh:

    I lived in Puerto Rico for two years. Place is super fun for surf, the island itself not so much. I did go to barbados, and that island is awesome!

    Ive wamped at sandy beach too, and surfed allover oahu. I cant decide if I prefer oahu to kauai, but id take either. Both have waves that will scar you for life.

    its all about having fun, I dont care if you body surf or sponge, just be safe and smile.

    Oh no shit? If I did it didn't dawn on me, or I was thinking you were cuban/murican just blood or something. And that would've been cool too. :D
    I love Hispanic culture bro, like I for real do. It feels like I'm a part of it. Puerto Ricans the natives were awesome and cool if you acted normal and not like some tourist. And I could do that because I speak español.
    Puerto Rico was unreal beauty. Awesome history and rich Latin culture too. Broke my heart to see them slammed with those nasty hurricanes man. Giving and loving people that's for sure

    Oh the non stop smiling would start to annoy you but I can't help it:D
    And Kauai is the only other island I know there and that's my number one vacay spot. It's been a while but I'd hope it's still hella secluded. My ex was dope af doing all the Coastal trails and crap with me... I'd like to get back to Hawaii

    You don’t need them machined for the 4runner. Go to Napa and buy em they bolt on.

    the machines ones will fit first gen tacos and tundras

    Same pad size as the tundr brakes. But a lot bigger rotors. Width and diameter wise.

    Yup, that's the plan. Going to wait until I need to do the brakes tho. Pads are still decent on the 4runner. I do need to change all the soft lines to stainless. Seems to take a lot of pedal travel for the brakes to work but they do work good. 17 year old rubber lines with around 283k miles on them.

    I hear the same man, I'd be inclined to use the energy lube stuff. But I'm only going off what others have reported. No personal experience
