always fun to share build stories. It's a sure-fire way to learn!! Absolutely, report back on wiper and light switches!! Would love to know. Where are you mounting your Painless fuse box? I chose poorly on mine by mounting on the engine side of the firewall, and am paying the price in the...

Another question for Jonathan or anyone else using the Koni Raid shocks. The O.D listed for the Koni's are 2.7". How is this with the drag link? I have Bilstein 5100's currently, which are just under 2" and it's a tight fit. Also, there are a few part #'s out there for the Koni's 40...

Looking forward to everyone's input who have purchased but haven't yet installed. I was originally thinking Deaver but this could be a good alternative. My truck is a daily driver so that is a component in the decision. Also not a "crawler" per se, but Arizona has rocks.

Dig. Thanks. I came up with dawn of the dead, but that's about it.

Not following. I may be old, but can someone loan me an abbreviation dictionary?

I bought a '78 40 series rolling chassis, harvested the axles and need to sell what's left. I'm asking just more than scrap price, so as to not have someone just scrap them. I could do that myself. Just don't want them to go to waste. I can help with transport and/or loading. The frame...

looks STOUT

The little reading I have done on modern electric e-brakes mostly agrees with the fact that the brakes will be stuck on (or off) in the case of a dead battery. It comes up on various OE forums (Honda, etc.). In the event one cannot get a jump start, or enough power from a portable unit to...

Those calipers look substantial!! I will definitely be curious to see how that comes out.

Wouldn't that imply constant current regardless of switch position, ie constant on vs constant off? I'll unplug one and see what happens. I got them in 2021 I'm pretty sure. Standard issue TRD Toyota Tacoma. There are lots of fakes out there, and the backspacing is different. They still...

yes, switch is spring loaded- returns to center after momentary engagement on or off.

Sorry, missed that.

Those wheels fit PERFECTLY! Didn't have to do a thing. They are really close to OE specs, relatively speaking: 17X7, 0 offset, 4" backspace. Not running any spacers, tires are 255/75/17 in a D rated tire. Rides nice. Tires stick out from the fenders just barely.

The original bracket is the same. The slider pin is free floating on the end you have circled and threads at the base where the caliper hits the bracket. But I'll do a little investigation on the air gap and see what turns up. It does fully clamp, but perhaps it is deflecting? I haven't...

I am in the process of removing the old brake, but that means pulling the driveline and nut on the back of the TC to get that disc off of there. It hangs down low and would be a magnet for rocks anyhow.
