    Did you try putting your parking brake on? You can get also get a bypass for this so it will work at any time... but yes... you will have to take it back out.

    I was gonna go that route, but I would've had to go to the store regardless, and the caliper was only 80$ so why not put a shiny new one on

    Not sure why, but after changing the pads, my brakes were a little squishy, and I was under the truck changing out my mtf so I figured I would just bleed em to be sure. And sure enough the front driver side had a little air in it. (The front passenger was the one I replaced)

    $80 is a rebuilt, I don't trust them, too many bad experiences with them.

    I had a Kenwood DDX719 and all I had to do for video playback while moving was ground the parking brake sensor wire.

    I don't have them but you can purchase them through most purveyors of OME goods.

    Damn, I'll have to keep an eye on that. What calipers did you end up going with? I look online for new ones just to see, but I was in a hurry, and needed the fastest option. That being said, I read a little on here and I noticed a lot of people said to stick with oem pads and calipers

    yes oem is the way, i bought them from parts geek, i messed up & i knew it before I bought them. never again! toyota all the way when it comes to replacement parts. I do buy some aftermarket stuff for mods, like switch's & light bulbs, cai ,fuel pump, etc

    Went and played in the snow! Sumter SC, already a few inches on the ground by the time I got to town.

    BFG KM2s suck in snow by the way... Terrible.

    Ended up taking my wife's Subaru and had no issues as expected.20180103_150337.jpg

    When I was military, I never explored. Now that I'm a local, (married into the family), I explore a lot more. It's not bad if you know where to go or what to do.
