Lucy on the calipers looks good....I've been thinking about doing them myself.....

Looks good, you should yank those running boards.

I plan to clean the brake calipers up and paint them....they look HORRIBLE! It's on my things to do list while we have warm weather. Debating weather to paint them black or silver??

The spacers make your rig look even better! and it already looked sweet! I say silver. I painted my calipers silver after debating-posted pics too so you can see if you like the silver for your rig. I'm not a flashy kinda guy so I wanted them to look clean and new but not BRIGHT!
Again, nice job with your rig.

Not that I want to hijack yout thread but what brakes are those? I have to replace my fronts and I figured I'd upgrade since I can't cut them 3 times- thanx in advance!

i assume those are 1.5" spacers? What's your tire size? Looking good!

Wow! Looks great... love the stance! Any vibrations or anything with the Spidertrax? What offset are those wheels?

I'll be the odd man out... I don't like a stance extending beyond the fenders. ...to the fenders, yes; but, IMHO, extending beyond them just doesn't look right.

are those 18's and 265/65/18's?

 

[natevans65]

These are the 1.25" from Toytec....for my model year, 2004, the 1.50" inch is not available.

I found the rotors on Ebay and they are OK....not really a good match they are a bit loose and are not a perfect fit but do work. Here is what I am looking at next for brake upgrades....

Do you have an pics of your painted calipers? I went back through some of your threads and did not see them, just wanted to see what the finished product might look like. What is your experience with the AFC??? I have the K&N CAI and was wondering if that might help with the air mixture on top of the CAI??? Thanks!

This is the final result after using my Bosch 18v and a wire wheel and small wire brush then the silver paint- afterwhich I installed the spidertrax.

Also what they look like thru the rim. The silver rim would look nice with the silver caliper- but thats my opinion :thumb3:

Oh yeah- thanks for the info!

Looks good man. I like the stance makes it look tough. x2 tires do look way bigger.

Did you have any tire rub after putting on the spacers? I'll take it you took off your calipers to paint them? If so was it a PITA?
