What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got the 26mm and I could not for the life of me get the brackets to fit them. I wonder if I was doing something wrong now. Dang.

Mine is a 96, just measured the sway bar with a caliper and it came out at a hair over 26mm. Out of curiosity I also measured the 99. It was the same and also it needs new sway bar bushings thank you very much for that. :caked:

What does yours measure? It can't be you, it's gotta be her....er....them.
 
Swapped the passenger side rotor and caliper from donor to driver truck today, and sold the donor transmission and transfer case.

I was oddly sad to see it go

I'll have to measure in the morning. It's not that the ID wasn't correct, the bushing itself wouldn't fit inside the bracket when I mounted it up. I'm doing my steering bushings tomorrow so I'm going to give it another go - after hearing several other members were able to get theirs to fit.

Dude. How has your EBC setup been? Do you have rotors and pads?...

It's been great! Plenty of stopping power. I might do another fluid flush and bleed to try and alleviate the slightly longer pedal travel. Overall, it's been great. EBC rotors and I think I bought Stoptech brake pads. Can't remember the exact brand of the pads. Calipers are new from a 2005 Tundra 4x4.
 
Drained coolant for the 7th time in two months. Really just been driving it and enjoying it now that it had new suspension, new steering, new tires, fresh alignment, and a tune up. Only thing I've yet to resolve is the serious lack of power under 3000 rpm but I'll deal with that later. Just been nice to drive it lately.
 
EBC rotors come with that anti-corrosion coating or whatever you want to call it on them. It's supposed to look like that.

Are you supposed to strip it before running it then?

Legit Brembo rotors have this too. Mine had the hats coated and there was some over spray onto the braking surface. It gets wiped off very quickly once you use the brakes for the first time. It's nice because it only wipes off the area where the pads touch and the rest of the rotor stays coated and won't rust or corrode.
