yes but you have to drill new holes, probably something I should of done instead. Might stil go that route.
New front rotors, pads, and replaced all the hub hardware such as the studs, cone washers, etc. Cleaned and repacked the hub bearings while I was there.
As a side note, I don't think I'll ever run uncoated rotors again. The ones I replaced today weren't and therecwere literally chunks of rust falling out of the slots. Same with my 2015 Camry.
Second side note. My Milwaukee 1/2" M18 impact gun may be the best tool I've ever purchased for the Land Tank. As long as I take it easy on the uggu duggas, no problems at all.

yeah chang, buy once and cry once.....take one big s*** not small rabbit s***/!!
dont know what youre going to do with that small hole in the rear? its too small to do anything with!
Back out again for a couple days. Camped in a sweet spot on top of a mountain outside of Estes Park. My brother is in town so it was hammock camping this time. The forest service roads were a lot of fun to climb with the cruiser. Drove up to the top of Trail Ridge Rd. in Rocky Mtn. National Park on Friday. It was glorious and never fails to impress no matter how many times I'm up there. All that within an hour of the house. Amazing place to live.
Here's a short video of the ascent to the campsite. It was rougher down the hill and a lot of fun. The beauty is incredible and soundtrack was perfect for those roads

Yeah seriously thought about it, 1800 buck so I can mount my 200 dollar bike rack is a little hard to justify. Fortunately I have some time before the next group buy to think it over.
After 2 years of adjusting my pinion angle, swapping u-joints, etc... I finally installed a custom double cardan rear shaft to keep the vibes at bay. (Roaring noise with vibe when letting off gas when traveling above 75mph). Just did a nice drive to the mountains and so far it's fixed. Vibes really only started after I installed 4.88 gears.
Driveshaft made locally at a shop that's been doing driveshafts for many years for the Baja race trucks. They insisted on using the Spicer 1310x Life Series U-joints. We'll see how it lasts... just happy vibes are gone for now.

Did a little adventuring in Anza Borrego with my friend (W463 G55).
Used the 80 to pull out a F250 crew cab longbox that was buried to the axles in sand (it was easy)

A little tannerite and a failed dishwasher keep a 10 year tradition alive. (We haul out more trash than we contribute.)

Quick overnight with a view and no wind
Finally upgraded to 35’s. New BFG A/T KO2’s.
Where did you get that? I’m about to give my sway bars a refresh.
Nice look! What size BFG’s?

Love that area of Anza Borrego
315/75/16. I had BFG KO 285/75/16’s previously and were way overdue. No rubbing except where the tailpipe came too close to the right rear. Fixed that and am good.

I had mine rebuild at a local shop that used spicer u-joints. They didn't last long. I replaced it with a stock version made by mr. toyota. I am using the Slee double cardan front shaft. Works great. I was having vibrations in the rear and it wound up being the bearing in the rear nose of my transfer case.
