Hilarious. When I asked him the other day if he was doing anything to the truck, he said "Yes, I replaced the sun visor."
 
I can be when I'm up to my arse in aligators.......:frown:

Yeah I think you were swamped Wend, I tried to call for most of the day, got you at about 4 and you were quick and to the point..........I got what I needed, well at least its on its way..........:hillbilly:
 
OEM extended brake hoses (the rear and LH front are T100 pieces and the RH front is 2007 Tundra)

Hey Dan, how much longer are these lines?

Sounds like there is a potential goldmine of parts in those bushes :D
 
They are about 2 and 1/2 inches longer.
 
This thread has all kinds of worth, even without pics.:)
 
There are a bunch of pics on my wife's snazzy camera and she hasn't downloaded them yet. She won't let me touch her camera.............:eek:
 
I was just going to ask if you would politely post the brake line part numbers when I realized that I would order them from you anyhow. I was, however, considering a junkyard hunt. Could you give me the years of T100 those came from? There's a rollover or two round here to scavenge from.
 
The T100 hose is 93-94 rear axle. That fits on the Cruiser rear and, I believe, the left front. The Tundra hose is a 2007-8 front hose and, again, I believe it will work on the right front.

I have confirmed fitment of the rear hose but I am still waiting for the Tundra hose to come in before I break open the front lines. Once I confirm fitment I will post that and the part numbers.
 
Thanks! I have this thing against bling, especiallly on the underside. The brakes all around are currently 2nd on the "To-Do" list, as she pulls a bit and one rotor is warped. Longer OEM hoses would be cool.

Hey Dan -

Sounds good - you've been busy! I'm looking forward to seeing Sarah's truck in Moab.

Are you planning to run stock gears in the axles? Forgive me if I missed that discussion somewhere. I like the 4.88s with my 315 tires, but maybe you're already planning something like that down the road.

Keep up the good work - Moab will be here shortly! :cheers:

Evan
 
Beno and I pulled the locker rear diff out of the 94 last night and it's in beautiful condition. Due to that I am leaving it as a 4.10 for the time being. After sliders, my cash outlay for repair parts, suspension parts and tyres is approaching 3,000 bucks so I need to give my billfold a chance to catch it's breath....:lol:
 
Time for a very tardy update.

Cruise Moab went very well and the truck and driver performed flawlessly. Sarah ran Poision Spider and Metal Masher with only a rear locker and no sliders. She came out clean and she took all the hard lines.
