    It might be worth a call at least. I know the T100 MC has 4 mounting bolts instead of 2.
    Yes and only paired with the booster. I was trying to avoid replacing my booster too.

    I think this is the route I would go if I had Spongy Brake. Pretty good comments and feed back on that site. Wouldn’t hurt to call and talk with them for ideas. I remember seeing someone else recco this site a while back.

    I haven't driven it much. Just up the road, and back. I can say that it feels like it "floats" now instead of "barrels" down the highway.

    I'm thinking it's due to the 64# rim, and tire.
    I'm figuring the old steelies were around 100# apiece with the rubber I had on them.

    Yes, unfortunately as @empty_lord said, only comes as a very “expensive” assembly..

    I find it real interesting that it didn't "notify" me when you edited in my/our tag names.
    Screenshot_20210315-185248_Chrome.jpg
    Possibly because you posted, and then edited in immediately after which is also why your post doesn't show an "edit." Strange.

    I did pull it back right after posting because I realized I replied to a later post and thought you might not see it. My bad buddy! I’m still an “FNG” around these parts and starting to learn the tricks of the trade

    Just like certain words that get changed when you click post.
    It happens. I didn't have a clue how to work this shit for about a year. It took me forever to figure out how to use the "paperclip."

    Popped the ID axle out and put the new OEM in with a little elbow grease. The OEM one is heavier and couldn't fit around my bumpstop during install. It was worth the money and the wait. Pink sticker of approval

    Steering rack bolts also got a light layer of anti seize before installation.

    Polished the door pillars for something new to try. Fairly noticable, not extremely dramatic but it's single stage from what I can tell so it'll probably get PPF soon.

    Nice. With your pic, I can pretty well confirm my Axles are these Import Directs. The OEM ones look much more Stout. Next front end work in a few years and the OEM will be going back in.

    Although it will be covered under warranty, people should stop buying their crap brake parts. Rockauto/Amazon for named parts (EBC/Rabestos) and toyota parts network for small parts (lines).

    Learned the hard way when we found that my daughters car ejected a brake pad on a Sunday. Good - Autozone had all parts in stock on a Sunday. Bad - replaced so many of these parts over the next two weeks. Both calipers started leaking, one brake pad delaminated (twice).

    Only one rotor warped. They did warranty them right at the counter, but I still had to constantly swap parts. Eventually replaced all the parts, but I should have just ordered them on Amazon and waited the day or two.

    Also, directly sourcing parts works pretty well. We’ve found out Spicer is Toyotas Carrier Bearing at 1/3 cost. Same with the MAF Sensor which is Hitachi at 1/4 cost etc. Denso Ignition Coils 1/4 cost vs Toy.

    All the same spec, but direct sourced bypa$$ $tealer whenever possible.

    One day OEM will go back in. It's just not today.

    I'm entering full lockdown unless necessary.

    Aw shit. That was good!

    Naw, I'm zip tying up my rear bumper trim. The center piece. Almost every tab is broken. Didn't realize that the license plate bulb harness was holding it to the truck until I brushed past it, and it almost fell off. :facepalm:

    Has anyone ever removed this trim? I want to take mine off and paint it but I don't want to force it.

    Do the white clips hold them in place? They haven't budged yet and I'm sure they are brittle at this point.
