Off by an hour....

Spent some dinero today.

T100 Brake Booster and master cylinder, Bosche

$23 ESI6-32N Brake Fluid (Direct Replacement for DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1) - 1 Quart

ESI6-32N brake fluid, Powerstop GX460 14WA front brake calipers (Not OEM because red=faster), Akebono brake pads, oem GX460 anti-squeal brake pad shims, and black zinc coated drilled and slotted rotors.

I found a local machine shop that is willing to do the machining on the caliper ears to make them a direct bolt on.

I'll be sure to take pics once I'm putting on the parts!

 

Nice! Maybe start a dedicated thread? as you seem to be doing yours from ground up with the BB and MC modifications. Could be a good place to refer back to for future reference.

 

Alright. I've never made one before, but I'll do my best lol

 

Yeah! The good, the bad and the ugly... we want it all.

Seriously, your thread will clear up lots of uncertainty and give an idea of total cost from scratch. Seems like you’ve gotten some quality new parts and maybe used as well?

 

Would just like to see the successful install of a T100 master. Yours with ABS? Love to hear the change in pedal effort.

 

All new parts on my end. The cheapest I went was on the brake booster and MC. I bought them as remans that were from companies that seemed to have really good reviews. I'll be sure to put a thread together and you can all witness my eternal struggle (or lack thereof).

 

You will succeed! Even if it costs an arm and a leg and tons of headache inducing time.

 

That's 100% my style with any mod that takes more than 30 minutes to do lol

 

Drained about a quarter of a quart out of the Transmission as I slightly over filled her a few weeks back. I’ve always slightly under filled and then added as needed to just above top tick. Did some quick Hand Jives with the Drain Plug Drain Off with success. Got some on me now I thing I might have the Black Lung.

 

You’re more dead to me than your dead mother! Just glad she didn’t live to see you as a Mermaid.


Merman!

 

Just measured, the house is 24' 11" wide and my truck is 19' 3/8". Good eye. Haha

 

OEM Denso spark plugs x8
found oil on plug threads during change
Diff drain and fill 80w90 valvoline. RWD

 

came with the TRD Sport package, atleast mine did haha .

 

I originally bought the lift mate for my mom(the high lift was passed down, maybe from grandpa that I never met?) for leveling her trailer when she gets to a spot, I don’t know if the trailer wasn’t hooked up, but it felt super sketchy and it seemed like a lot of weight for the high lift. My floor jack has been acting up and one piston won’t return, royal pain, so I tried the setup on the truck, it actually wasn’t to bad!
Made in Indiana!

 

I got one of these setups after watching someone use it to pop a dug-in tire out of the sand. Fits pretty well around the wheel spokes but still a little scary.

 

It fits my spokes perfect to have the pad land on the rim-ish area.
It definitely needs more accessories or roadside finds to actually change a tire or prop up the control arm, but like you said I bet it would work great getting a tire out on top of the sand.
Seems the sketchy part is if the jack or the vehicle move; as long as you can keep those things stable, it’s a great tool.

 

Where do you buy a lift system like this? It couldn't be cheap, but definitely cool that you can work outside with it.

 

Blacked out the grill

 

We just bought a 4 set of those for work. Steri Koni

Flexible to lift things like water tenders and fire engines that have a variety of axle spread where a normal lift couldn’t spread wide enough. And moveable to keep the floor clear when not needed

 

Nice rig! What lift and wheels and tires are you running?

 

Thank you.

6112 in the front, 5100s in the rear with icon add a leaf and Camburg UCA. About 2.5 inch lift. Ko2 tires 285 on 17 method 305 nv with the updated center caps.

Also: there was heavy trimming done to fit the 285’s and I rub on the frame at full lock to the left only. Wheel spacers arrived today so that should help.

 

Did you reuse your trd coils? I’ll be interested to hear about spacers, 1.25”?
By the way how does it ride?

 

Oh, you can also try putting Tuco’s bed back there to establish the area as his spot...

 

Or bury a treat in one of the storage holes.

 

no, I didn’t reuse the old coils, 6112s come with new coils. I think it rides great, a little stiff but def not as bouncy compared to the stock15 year old shocks. I do have some body roll, and driving on windy days is not so fun.

I order extended sway bar end links, that should arrive in the next 2 weeks to help with some body roll. Current links are smoked.

 

Is it just grabbing the wheel? How does it do that without damaging the wheel?

 

It has two rubber coated hooks, and then a flat rubber pad that is supposed to rest at the top of the rim
