    Tundra booster and master came in today as well. Need to get this center console in and make/install all the new brake lines before it can go in though.

    Test mounted. fits as planned. need to finish up the 1/2 t-handle things, and then plumb everything. last photo shows the right side brake in the latched parking brake position.

    aww man, i'm sorry you won't be making it. start saving up for the spring one; it's worth the price. it's not like overland east, where it's essentially an outdoor shopping mall and car show, focused on the vendors. this is people-centric, and really about driving, doing, and experiencing.
