Check this out, Mike. Expensive for what it is, but it looks like it gives you some adjustability.

Thanks Dave. Freaking $71 for hardware, makes me think I'm in the wrong business.

This the one I have. It's meant for compound setup like yours. I cut and rewelded it for my application but I realized I could have made it pretty easy.

I was wondering how the hot turbine would affect the spring over time. Looks like Crazy Carls has a tube to act as a heat shield, too.

Just had a thought. Does anyone make a high lift jack mount adapter that could fit in a tow hitch? Thinking of adding one where the BBQ is.

You can make a Kaymar work.

Wouldn't be too hard to make it yourself.

Kaymar Hi-lift Mount

So umm yeah. It finally came in from 'down under' and i don't know how i feel about it. This morning driving into work it was making the tire carrier 'bounce' a little. This worries me, because if it bounces a little on the fwy.. what's it going to do on a washboard road? Plus, im only...

My ADHD got the best of me today.

Happy 4th everyone. Blessed to be spending it at home with family.

Got off telework early and decided to hit the lake. As soon as I got everything ready, thunder and rain.

I guess it's a drinking and playing online kind of day.

The brake upgrade kit still hasn't shipped out yet, so standing by to stand by.

Pulled up to the liquor store in my big red truck where my neighbor's pothead kid works. The "kid" is 34. He's amazed by my new truck. The same new truck he's watched me work on for years.

Lesson here, buy cigars from your pothead neighbor cause he forgets to ring them all up.

Sometime I wish I could just work at a liquor store and smoke pot all day. I bet he has more fun than most with no cares in the world.

As soon as I'm done sucking on the government's teet. Willing to bet pot with solve a bunch of PTSD related issues.

The beef is here.

The old smaller rotor is the 62 land cruiser, the larger rotor is the 2017+ 4runner.

Since they came with no instructions, I got curious to see how they mount and anxious if my 6 shooter steering arms will get in the way. I braved the 100 degree weather to see what it would look like and mocked it up. I think I lost 6 gallons of sweat just getting the tire off.

Looks like I have to get it pressed in somehow and I'll lose the aluminium spacer that had given me some worries over the years. Doesn't look like it'll interfere with the 6 shooter steering arms.

I guess we'll find out on install day.

Brave man! I’m so unmotivated to work on trucks right now. All I can manage after getting home is watering plants and heading into the house.

Im trying to get everything ready for SAS4 and help my buddy get his rig ready.

Nice. There is a very slight chance I take a tour of southwest Colorado and swing in to say hi. That’s if my splitcase fluid looks good at next oil change and the trans hasn’t moved much oil into the tranfer case. I’m almost to the point of having to steal the NV4500/HF2A combo out of the 75 project.

Man it would be good to see you. We haven't hung out in ages.

Looks like that caliper mount gets bolted up with the spindle bolts. It should only be able to go on one way since the holes are not symmetrical if I remember correctly.

Got bearings and wheel studs in the mail and another cup holder today. Decided it was still too hot, so I tackled the easy stuff.

Installed the cup and phone holders and painted the calipers and brackets. Of course the only color I have is red.
