Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I might get away with 16's, but it's a long shot. @tacomgee already called dibs on my current brakes.



In black with solid rotors.

 

Hmm. Where'd ya find em and how much?

I was looking at these... but they're for 18"

Been talking with Tom all morning. The have a larger rotor version, but I would need 18's for that. This one needs 17's and it's a 6 piston. Maintenance is also easier with the 1 piece rotor.

 

holy cow that's some serious scratch. AND you have to change wheels n tires? did you really hate your stock brakes that much?

 

I don't think i thought it through enough, and i'm secretly hoping they fit the 16's. I had been thinking about getting 17's for a while with 285/75r17 wheels, so....

Fuck, I may have got myself into a pickle.

 

How much @Iggy. ? That pickle of yours is tickling my tastebuds...

 

I'm pretty sure those brakes won't fit with 16's. Go to Stop Tech's website and download the correct template and see for yourself.

On a side note, I know someone that has a set of 17's with tires...

@ffdawson, I have such soft pedal, I periodically look for something to replace the stock brakes. I'm not sure the 2 g's solution is worth it...yet.

 

yeah, I feel like my truck is a tank, and doesn't really stop all that well. But it helps that its a 6 spd, and I kinda drive it like a grandma. I would like some better pedal feel, but 2k is out of my league. (he says while searching for a new $2k rear bumper and new $2k re-gear lol)

 

I was coming over 108 last summer...thank goodness no one was in front of me...and I want a trailer (with brakes).

 

yeah, honsestly that's my reason for all of this, the wife and I rented a travel trailer and took a lil road trip, now shes head over heels for a trailer. Im not super stoked on the idea, but the reality is that we'll get out more often if we have one. With the two little kiddos we're pretty limited to summer months for camping in the RTT and even that's a stretch...

So im in the market for a 16-22 ft travel trailer... and I've got a lead on one in san diego that I may be picking up next week.

But the upside is I can mod my truck more to improve towing gears, brakes, a dual swingout instead of my single swingout so we can access the truck bed while hooked up...

 

we did the beer race run like this once at kirkwood. got alot of dirty looks being drunk at 8 am on the slopes. haha good times.

 

285/75/17 there isnt much of a selection on tires in that size. i have been looking for a while.

 

do you have stainless brake lines up front. I have heard that the stiffen up the brake peddle, I put on power stop extreme towing kit on the front helped alot for stopping the 20ft boat. and im thining of swapping the front lines to stainless but kinda on the fence on that one.

 

stainless, better fluid and pads is the usual start before dumping real dough. I think I remember seeing something about tundra brake conversions for our 2nd gens.

 

I don't. I do have the EBC slotted rotors and pads. That didn't make much of a difference at all.

 

there is a kit and its a cheaper wrought. i dont know how much you will gain from it.
