What a perfect tent. That would look amazing on my cement.

I could have used it for this trip so I looked. I stuffed the back seat instead. Which was ok since it's just me. But you know, since i did tires, the mod fire is beginning to heat up.

 

No turning back now. These are a good addition if you have a full bumper especially with a winch. You can install them after your bumper is on.

Saw this last year and figured I'd give it a shot.

 

Installed Subaru Kicker tweeters and DS series Kicker 3 way 6x9's in the front doors. Getting too late to get the 6 ½'s in the rear doors so that will be tomorrow. I also have an amp I will eventually power the fronts with. Have all the parts, just need the time.

 

Moved the Thule Canyon XT to the topper and added the extension. Made some brackets and bolted those into the roof of the camper with hopefully a good seal using rubber washers.


inside i took a page out of a couple other posters books and used some uni strut as the bolt backing and now i have something to mount hangy things on:


Bonus photo because the only people as interested in my truck as I am are you crazy people:

You'll need 4Runner backing plates as well

Same as doing a 3rd Gen.. I did the braided steel lines as well.

 

Sorry for bad pictures!!!!
Installed @MESO map & dome lights .
Installed a replacement puddle light from @MESO that was fogging up .
Oil change (no pics) w/mobile 1 and oem filter .
Finally did pinchwelds in front .

 

Are the shrockworks sliders bolt on? What part of the install was a PITA and how soon did you get them after ordering thanks!!

 

Sounds good. I'm right down the road in Holly Springs near Canton. I've been looking and it seems everyone is about the same price. May give them a shout. Thanks.

 

thanks! my brakes are about to kick the bucket as well and i just saw your post... while its more than just some new rotors and pads i think it will be a worth while upgrade

 

When I do my first brake job, I will be doing this conversation instead. Will start looking for deals now so I am ready to go!

TW lightening my wallet yet again!

 

Congratulations on spelling "brake" correctly.

 

Interestingly TW is better than most automotive and gun forums.

Muzzle break for the win. I take many brakes when I work on my breaks. Because a brake in work is a good time for breakfast.

 

If you guys really want to improve your brakes, dump the rear drums. I converted mine to discs last year and have been much happier. It's not that the drums aren't effective, I just didn't like what I thought was a squirrely feel at the pedal. It's not all drum brakes either. I had rear drums on my last truck and never gave it a thought.

S.O.S. Performance has a conversion kit. To do it right, you'll also need a new master cylinder. I had the work done by a shop. I'm told the only nasty part is cutting off the old backing plate.

 

They keep all the ABS Features?

What did the shop charge?

 

Everything stays the same.

It's WAY cheaper if you can do it yourself. I don't have an exact figure because I had some other work done at the same time. Figure on a kilobuck.

The guys that hang out here were a BIG help.

 

Understood. I no longer have a covered heated work space. $1000 doesn't sound crazy but what the hell kind of shop would do custom brake work on a new vehicle?
