    I have never looked into this, but maybe you can upgrade the master cylinder to get pedal feel back with all that extra volume. Maybe a 1 ton MC conversion?

    My current brakes are very good! I had the steel brake lines installed as well. I’m good with the new setup. I will check out your suggestion and see what it’s all about. Thanks for the input!

    Oh if they work great, no reason to mess with it. I was just thinking if you had a soft pedal and didn't like the feel of it.

    It’s not really a soft pedal feel. It’s more of a smooth pedal feel really. It does seem different from stock though. If I mash my brakes hard the truck definitely stops quick!

    Then disregard my comment then. I wouldn't change anything.

    I finally got my 3” mid pipes installed by a local exhaust shop. I had to have custom exhaust work done to make the dirty deeds exhaust fit. I love having this Magnuson SC, 4.88s, bullydog and Auburn LSD!!! It feels amazing to drive! The exhaust is insanely loud when I’m on the gas now! My truck has definitely made some big HP gains! 0A725565-5515-4C66-8ABC-1D3129A9A713.jpg

    Any dyno plans? I'm considering headers with my sc but not sure how hard i want to push the truck. I did a smaller pulley already to make a bit more boost.

    I’m actually looking for a local Dyno shop to do some test Dyno runs and check everything out. I wanted to take my truck to DAP tuning but they still haven’t released the flex fuel tune yet. I don’t plan to do any hard pulls until after I get the first 100 miles on my new setup. I did one short 4 pound boost run for a little bit today. It felt amazing!!

    Have you ever thought of a carbon fiber wood steering wheel. I think it would tie in nicely with your design. I have an all black and like the feel of holding wood over leather.

    There was a real carbon fiber steering wheel that I liked but it was straight from Japan. It was also insanely over priced! Where did you order your steering wheel from? Looks nice!

    I believe it’s from MIT accessories. I actually got mine from another member on here for 150 I think. Had it for a couple years on the truck and it’s been holding up well. Good quality in my opinion. I think you can get them on eBay for around 250.

    This is the real carbon fiber steering wheel with leather grips that I wanted originally. But it’s way more than I want to spend.

    B&I premium design offers a carbon fiber option for around 300 with a steering wheel exchange. it may be worth taking a look at. I ordered on from them where the wheel was silver to match the trim in the truck. ended up returning it cause i thought it was too bright but the quality seemed good. they take a factory wheel and refinish it. I think it was on CarID.com.

    This is something that I wish was still available for our Tundras. This whole overlay carbon fiber kit used to sell for $399. Unfortunately the manufacturer quit production of them due to not enough sales. I called and asked if they would do another production run. They said they needed an order of at least 100 orders though. I really like the idea just snapping on the overlays versus taking apart the whole dash. 4AA69055-6DE4-4E91-8D40-8F6D5D7F1927.jpg EC22018E-A832-41F8-BD7D-4DDBB1493EDF.jpg

    id be all over the carbon fiber interior for that price. maybe we can start a group buy? 100 doesn't seem too far fetched.

    Hey buddy really cool build. Just have a quick question about your fuel rims. Are they a -19 offset or -44? Sorry if you already answered this I didn't read the entire build thread. But I am looking at wheels for my build.
