Nice looking tires! I'm looking forward to a review of road noise and tread wear.

So lots of projects happening this winter. For starters, I'm finally doing the Tundra Brake upgrade and the parts are just rolling in:
Also waiting on a new rear brakes, CB antenna, diff breather, and Marlin 1200lb clutch. Should be a busy couple of weeks!

Just in from breaking them in and here's my impressions.
1st, believe the hype! They make a noticeable difference in braking over stock. When I pulled off the original brakes (and by original I mean that the brakes have never been done before... gotta love a manual tranny) they were in great shape still! Pads were about 1/4 to 1/3 of material left and the calipers were all working normally too. I made 10 high speed stops from 100 km/h to about 10 - 20 km/h. The first 3 or 4 stops had me smiling from ear to ear as the 4Runner stopped almost instantly with the rest of the stops getting longer and longer due to fade but man what a difference! 2nd, as is often reported, application of the brakes is a little later than normal meaning that it takes a little more pedal travel to start to feel the brakes apply. I quickly got used to this and it's not a big deal at all.
Highly recommended!

how much did the tundra brake setup set you back? I'm interested in doing it. Seems like something good to spend money on

I think it was around $500 thereabouts.

So after 237,000 klm's I decided it was time to upgrade the OEM clutch to the Marlin Crawler HD 1200lbs clutch set.
Old one wasn't slipping but by the looks of it, it was only a matter of time though before it did though, lots of hot spots by the look of it ...
I also replaced the rear main seal while I had the tranny out ...
Initial impressions are good so far. Going to take it easy for the first 500 miles or so it can break in properly. Pedal feel is WAY lighter than what I was expecting though. So much so that I'm a bit concerned about it. Engagement is nice and smooth and everything seems to be working fine but I was expecting the pedal effort to be way harder. I fired off an email to Marlin to see if this is normal. I'll see what they say.

Well it's been over a week and still no response from Marlin but everything's working great. Really smooth engagement!
Also had the new TTC's balanced again as I must have thrown a weight somewhere. The tire shop threw in a couple bags of balance beads per tire as they had a heck of a time getting them trued up. What a difference! I must say that the new TTC's are a lot quieter than the old design was and look way beefier too.
Gonna work on the CB antenna mount next. Seen a few ideas out there but I'm not sure how I'm going to mount it yet.

Those tires are mean! I like the voltmeter placement too.
Did you use a write-up when you did your clutch work? I'd like to bookmark it if there's a good one available.

Thanks!
I've done clutches before so I never used any write-ups at all but this one here is pretty good : 5VZ Clutch Job - TTORA Forum
The only time I actually opened up the manual was to get some torque specs. There's really nothing to technical about it just a lot of wrenching from your back.

Just finished up installing a new set of 5100 Bilstein shocks and all I can say is wow what a difference over the Tokico Trekmaster R/T's that I had been riding on over the last decade or so. Definitely a much more plusher ride than before! The road to where I live is concrete with expansion joints every 15' or so and with the Trekmasters, the ride was quite jarring and I'd also be bouncing a lot in my seat over each joint. Now they are really hardly noticable and the truck also seems more quieter as well! Definitely one of my favorite mods of late!
