    Looks good, I'd suggest replacing the driver side caliper as well. They should be replaced in pairs for optimum and even braking.

    Shouldnt really need to replace the calipers in pairs, unless the pistons are jammed or sticking they should be fine to replace one at a time. I replaced just my drivers side a couple months ago because of a seized piston , but I did replace the brake pads on both sides at that time.

    Edit: it certainly wouldn't hurt to do so if you have the $$ for it though, usually is better to do everything with brakes in pairs

    Oh, trust me, anything is possible. We used to fit 9 people into one of these to go to the beach on a regular basis. 3 wide across the back, one on each lap. One in the passenger front, with one on the lap, and the driver.

    It wasn't a comfortable ride for sure, smelly river people. We had a gnarly hour long drive through a fire road/ wash/ trail. After looking over the truck today everything looked good except for the bolts on the front side of the rear fender flares. They were torn out by the tires rubbing. Overall I'm impressed by the 2WD, my buddies' F-150 and Ranger were in 4Lo the whole time but Tommy just kept on chuggin'. Deep sand is still scary though. The HID high beams were a Godsend, they win MVP of the night.

    I went Weel'n' all weekend at The Southern Cruiser Crawl at Hot Springs ORV. Arrived Thursday and started running trails and left late on Sunday. It was a great trip!

    Are those stock brakes? I'm planning on doing a Tundra brake swap on mine.

    Already installed the WE from what i read it sounded like you can only use the WL if you have wheel spacers? Is this correct?

    So, did my 1st 5K service this weekend [since I've owned it] and went from conventional motor oil to synthetic. I swear, this 3.4 runs quieter now . . . just talking the amount of engine noise when it is idling with the hood up.

    Anyone else notice this?
