    Lurking and working. Working full time while studying for exams is taking up a lot more time than I expected.

    Edit: Just finished building my gaming desktop too.. I won't miss my laptop. Stoked to start playing some computer games again.
    Thanks

    Keith, good to see you around again. I'm drinking another round of the Live Oak hefe; it's good stuff.

    Adam, what did you go with for pads/rotors? I need to check my brake pads pretty soon; I can hear them sometimes.

    I've had my pads on about 50k now I think and they are ready to come off probably. I'm not sure what I'm going to do; but I know I would like to upgrade the braking ability.

    Anyone in the Dallas area able to help install a OME lift kit and rear AAL on a 2nd Gen. Tacoma? Beers will be provided

    I got the toytec kit and paid the $100 to have the springs installed on the struts with new bushings so install would be easier without using a spring compressor... I live in a condo and just don't have all the other tools.

    Please let me know if anyone can help out! Thanks in advance!

    If you wanna do that then id ditch the Tacoma brake booster. Its seems very tiny...the one from my moms 4runner Is literally twice as big. Id get better calipers, brake booster, and do a tundra disc brake upgrade in the rear.

    Or just get stainless steel brake lines. Apparently that helps somehow.

    Currently not in the position to spend much on it. Also, wouldn't changing the booster mess with the ABS?

    As long as you do not mind me picking up your parts that fall off and selling them on eBay.

    Also - how "might" is "might"?
