    Sorry, no PN's. Bummer Wheeler's stopped carrying them - I bet if you call Wheeler's they know the PN's

    The pads are great so far, not really dusty either like I've seen with some pads. All in all, the brake upgrades (don't forget to upgrade the hoses!) have been money well spent and should be high on anyones list of priorities especially for a heavy offroad truck. As for rotor wear - I'm not concerned - it's a heavy pig and I know that I'm going to eat brakes. These will definitely last longer than OEM though and stop WAY better.

    A secret project was recently launched at a hidden skunkworks in Orange County CA.

    Revolutionary modular storage solutions that meet and exceed Euro-Spec "caravan" equipment are being developed for camper shells, vans, SUV's, FlipPacs, trailers and custom applications. Designed from the ground up for adventure travel in the harshest overland environments, these storage solutions feature über lightweight materials in the form of aluminum, composite and top shelf laminates. Stainless steel HD slides and premium hinges and latches set this product line apart from anything else currently on the market in North America. If wood is desired, Joubert Okoume plywood is used. Marine grade, certified by Lloyds of London for yacht building. Insanely lightweight. A sheet of 1/2" Joubert weighs less then a sheet of 1/4" regular plywood.

    Made in California, minimum weight and maximum use of available cubic inches for optimized storage defines Goose Gear.

    Phase Two of the Goose Gear interior project is coming along nicely. More info and pics are being added to their site as production of modules ramps up, check it out:

    Here is my custom module for Toyota Tacoma, this module started out its life as a two drawer module with an extension and a lid. The great feature about the lid is the ability to access drawer contents from inside the vehicle with the camper closed. You do not need to open the tailgate to get to the top drawer or rear bin from inside the FlipPac.

    Great shot of the standard two drawer small module, full extensions stainless steel drawer guides make this drawer fully functional.

    Dovetailed drawers with stainless steel drawer guides for superior longevity.

    American Adventurist is proud to announce our partnership with Rigid Industries - Lighting the way to Adventure!

    Stay tuned for some MAJOR lighting upgrades as we mount their 50" SR series lightbar, Rigid grill with 20" SR series light bar and some D2's front and rear -

    Adding to the awesomeness here is the fact that the new APEX aluminum front bumper is on and ready for them!

    Got all the Rigid Industries lights installed, mounted the SR-50 to the roof via the SoCal Super Trucks bracket. Next up is some trick in-cab light control and a new set of upgraded headlight assemblies. Maybe even some vinyl wrap action... stay tuned :cool:

    It's cool to see so many snorkel installs spun off from my initial effort and install write up for Cruiser Outfitters :cool:

    YodaTEQ has a cool new "TEQ" logo grill to upgrade the Safari Snorkel - very cool little item that all of us Toyota heads can appreciate

    The Rigid Industries lights are beyond bright - mounting via Rigid grill, APEX bumper and SoCal Super Trucks brackets make an ideal arrangement. IMO the D-2's by themselves are far brighter than the brand new OEM Toyota headlight assemblies with upgraded bulbs that I just installed. Add the SR-20 in the grill and the SR-50 on top and overkill has been achieved.

    We saw a write up for GooseGear in the OutdoorX4 magazine using photos of your build recently.
    Congrats on the print exposure!
