Long Travel BS Thread

Don’t let that stop you from making stupid financial decisions.

 

Kind of on your topic. I got a MC adapter from @Basikbiker that allows you to put a GM MC onto the tundra booster. Never been real happy with the sequoia MC and tundra booster pedal feel or how much pedal movement I have. This MC should increase the fluid volume to help with pedal throw and give me better pedal feel (heavier). Did the math and am going with a 1 1/8 GM MC and redoing all the brake lines to eliminate the mess I have going to where the ABS module use to be. It’s gonna be my Labor Day weekend project. You can see the adapter plate and rod extension attached to the MC in this pic.

 

Shoot, if my wife cant stop me, nothing will.

 

Mine aids in it. Then gets mad when we go over budget. It’s almost like a setup.

 

That might be worse

 

What kind of pedal feel do you have currently? With the T100 booster and its 1” bore (1/2 ton) master cylinder I have a little pedal play then the pedal becomes extremely firm.

I added a Tilton proportioning valve in for the rear for the rear discs and I currently have more front bias even with the valve unadjusted and set to fully open. Ass end of the truck rises up when I try a panic stop.

 

Well I have wilwood discs on all 4 corners with a total of 19.4sq in of caliper area. All the info and math says it needs a 1 1/8 MC. But my pedal moves 1/3 or a touch more of movement before the brakes engage and pedal pressure just needs to be firmer for my liking.
I have a proportioning valve and have it adjusted so the brakes all lock up at the same time with a ton of pedal movement. This MC should take care of both pedal feel and pedal movement according to my caveman calculations and the experts at brake shop I went to agreed with me so I’m just going for it. It’s not a bleeding issue….I have a pressure bleeder and both myself and the brake shop guys agree that the brake pedal to MC adjustment is good. Here is the mess of abs module lines currently occupying my right fender. That will be gone this weekend.

 

Maintenance time for my LCA’s. Is there a “better” replacement LBJ/uniball for our lower control arms? Same with the LCA bushings - are these the best option or will something else provide better longevity and be quieter?

 

Anyone running this rack? Says "requires 3.5" All Pro kit". Is that any 3.5" kit? How did they deal with the mounting holes, offset bungs? 3rd mount hole? Curious as the $599 price is in the Toyota reman price range.
