    Its been too long guys!
    My girl needs some upgrades.

    Tires and wheels
    Brakes
    Wheel bearings
    All fluids swapped

    Got on the list for a set of the new SCS RAY10s, I'm thinking of wrapping them with Cooper STT Pro 285/75R17s. I do travel to Lake Tahoe a lot during winter and a lot of trails during the spring and fall for mountain biking and camping. I thought about the Cooper STT Max, but Im open for suggestions.

    The part I am looking for some extra advice on is brakes. I remember a year ago or maybe even 2 years ago, there was someone here who offered like stage 1 to stage 5 brake kits. Rotors and pads. (drilled, slotted, drilled and slotted, and many types of pads)
    But I am also very interested in this 231mm Tundra brake upgrade. Really thinking about going this route, but I would want to be sure this upgrade would clear the 17" SCS wheels first. For this upgrade its around $500, but I have heard great reviews on it as well.

    Since Im looking into a brake swap, why not go ahead with some of the hub assemblies that are available here. Don't remember his name either. (its been a while since I've been stupid busy at work and now deployed)

    Also going to pull my OME struts and going to have the 887 coils swapped for some 886 or 886x. I have some 886 but I think the 886x would be better for me. Plate bumper and winch. Trying to keep around 3" of lift, and my 887s are sagging bad! IDK why I thought the 887s were stronger when I ordered my OME kit.

    Then I want to change the diff fluids, transmission fluid, and flush the coolant system. She is at 80k now and Im sure it won't hurt.
    I also do not believe that I need the additive for my rear. 09 with the limited slip, but I think 09 and up it is not required, but Id like to be sure.

    Making a big to do list for when I get home and get a week or two off ;)

    No problem. I haven't used him yet. I stumbled onto his thread shortly after having the dealer replace my first wheel bearing (they also replace the whole assembly). Somewhere in the neighborhood of $700-$800 parts and labor. I will definitely be using @Bama Toy for my next one.
