    Nice work bud. Don't get discourage from the little speed bump. It will pay off in the end.

    Solo motorsports are good dudes. They were going to send out another top hat due to the fitment with mine. I told him not to I'd just grind it down to fit. Came out great. The resi clocking was fixed once I put some preload on the shock so I could angle them downward without interference with the collars.

    Before.....

    All tightened up. Big Tundra brake upgrade was the easiest part. No fitment issues, bled brakes, too easy.

    Considering my options on where to get it

    Amazon. Callahan is the brand. Around $300 I think for the full set. Went on so easy. Didn't have to modify the banjo.

    I wonder if these fit the 2nd gen. How much bigger were the calipers and rotors compared to stock?

    Same diameter rotor. Just thicker. 5lbs heavier. Calipers almost same size, slightly bigger. They have bigger pads. I know you have to be careful with your wheel selection.

    Saved the oe fender liners from the fiberglass install I did last summer.. Today I used them to fill gaps left on the 6" over fenders. Cut them down and sheet metal screwed them in. Should protect a little more, cut sound barely getting to the cab, and looks a lot cleaner.

    Also put on some 1.5" spacers to help the rear with a little width now that the front is LT and 7" wider. Until I can do the SUA.

    Suprisingly easy. I was worried about that too when I got the bedsides. But they are so big the nozzle fits underneath. I remember thinking about what I was going to do for a fill door, that the glass didn't come with a cut out. It works well.

    Nice! Once I get a real job and another car I'll probably go LT in the front. But I'm still in the air about. How's yours ride?

    Not sure yet on the ride because I haven't driven it much but around the block. I have to get the resis filled with nitrogen first. Getting that taken care of tomorrow. It is wide as anything though and feels super stable. Like you could corner fast. The extra width alone feels amazing from what I can tell. Even though the rear is stock, the 3" in wheel spacers also add a good amount of width and stability too.
