    Took the skid plate off to change the oil the other week. Decided to sand off the rust and paint since I had some leftover supplies from doing the tow hooks. 5 coats of duplicolor matte bronze and 4 coats of matte clear. Just the stock trd offroad skid but looking alot better.

    No, they are not. The bracket in the middle of yours will hit the bed and could smash the brake lines if you ever bottom out hard. The ARB middle bracket is shorter to prevent, and also doesn’t need to be as long due to how the axle moves when articulated, need the longer bracket on the point further out because when articulated it drops out further than the center one can. See how the feet on the arrow bracket actually do something on the outer lines that are subject to side loads with the ARB?, and don’t have to bend the snot out of brake lines.:notsure:

    Thank you so much for posting this, considering the CB kit doesn’t come with instructions. Makes total sense what you’re saying. Gonna go swap mine around right now.

    I have this same quick fist rubber clamp to hold my shovel to the molle panel. Highly recommend them.

    Yep, understand that. Here is my little setup. Not as extreme as some, but it works well for me.

    Love these wheels, probably what I'd go with next tire change, to 17's as well. Not a big fan of the fake beadlock look.

    I followed the directions from @coachbuilder for the install on mine, but after looking closer the OP appears to have the OME kit as seen by the non-arrow looking bracket (over the pumpkin) which is flat as shown in the OME kit pictures while the Coachbuilder kit uses a Z shaped bracket.

    Here is a thread where Coachbuilder noted the directions for his kit: https://www.tundras.com/threads/how...brake-line-relocation-kit.73374/#post-2724213

    Post# 11:
    "Thanks for posting, The arrow shaped bracket bolts to the top of pumpkin and will need to remove the bolts on each side of pumpkin before installing this bracket. just as you mentioned the hard lines are tight and will physically bend the hard lines in order the reach the bracket. after you have pulled the hard lines up you'll need to rotate the metal tabs 180 degrees on each side of pumpkin. this will allow the har lines to mount higher than they were originally. after you've done this follow the speed sensor wire up ( just left of pumpkin ) up to the pre filter box on the underside of bed. there is a threaded stud that is holding the speed sensor wire. the Z shaped brake will allow this wire to drop down and back providing addition length. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need pics."

    It looks like you corrected me in that thread also. :facepalm:The OP's is correctly installed. Do you know why the directions are different between the two kits? Thanks for catching my oversight on the OP's post. :bowdown:

    Yeah, I just noticed that was the OME kit and not the coachbuilder kit. My bad.

    None to day....that’s why I’m here.
    Installed a RAS (Roadmaster Active Suspension) Heavy Duty system today to go with my 5160’s previously installed. Drove a mile so not sure of the ride difference yet. I gained 1.25 inches right after install, we Will see if it settles some.

    Also I adjust my rancho speedometer calibrator…. For like the 5th time. Getting close, last setting was off 2 miles in a 266 mile trip compared to gps. The weird this is the odometer is getting close but the speedo is still of like 2-3 mph.

    Which adjustment disc did you use? 1.25 sounds like the higher setting. I believe the white one is the smallest and right at 3/4 lift.

    I used the white. The rear leafs on my truck were really flat before this. I think 5 years of overloading it might be why the RAS made it so high.

    That is possible. Toyota leaf springs are too soft. Mine went bad on my 2020 at around 13k miles.

    I’m assuming this is the extension bracket needed when adding lifts or longer shocks to the rear, correct? If so, what’s the verdict on the orientation? I’ll be installing the FOX pro suspension and want to make sure in install it correctly.

    Damn, 13k! Mine has 127,000. How did you know? Only way I ever knew a spring was bad is if it was cracked or completely broke in half.

    Ok thanks. I’m trying to figure out if the RAS works with CB +1 shackles.

    Lots of shenanigans.
    - Re-Lubed my TC UCA
    - Changed the oil
    - Rotated tires
    - Also broke the key lug so I swapped them all out with standard lug nuts

    I got a replacement grill for my truck. Found it locally on FB marketplace. It had some damage to the outer chrome so I had to swap the chrome parts so the insert had to come out of my limited grill.79B7DA43-B270-4D11-B76E-93C3CEE8EA14.jpg
