Pulled axles and did seals...ready to take to mech Monday. Added extended rear line, diff breather extension and pulled my 891's and installed my 861's to help with the added weight from my new swingout bumper.

Am I crazy for trying to go bronz'ish on the wheels? All opinions will be considered before I paint the rest of the wheels.

I think it looks rad. Go to the last page and see my rig with fully bronzed-out wheels. Mine look way better in person, and the dirty truck with faded paint doesn't add much to the photo, but the wheels look great! haha
 
Upgraded to 97 t100 1ton brake booster and master cylinder. To help with tundra 231s. Way better brake pedal now. Write up in my build thread if anyone is interested.

thanks for this. I am still putting together parts for my TBU. Might have to add this. I am also replacing all my brake lines. I wonder how many people complain about soft pedal after doing a TBU and keep their 16+year old rubber brake hoses. They can swell with increased pressure if old, like an artery about to burst.
I used the non ABs master
Not sure on part numbers. I'll definitely be going with stainless flex lines for the front. I need to do pads and turn the rotors soon, so I'll be doing it then. Never enough time in one weekend to do everything my truck needs lol.

My wheels are peeling so I decided to paint them. I just started with the spare I picked up from another forum member. Color is "rustic mist" that I picked up and, well, I think I really like it. Am I crazy for trying to go bronz'ish on the wheels? All opinions will be considered before I paint the rest of the wheels. This shot was taken just after I applied the second Wet coat (I'm holding a paper towel in the lower portion of the frame for a white balance reference). I'm using Rustoleum metallic primer + paint; planning on finishing it with a clear enamel.

Like the looks of the gold. I'm working on mine right now with the duplicolor dark grey, letting them harden up in the furnace room.

After quite a while of driving with torn CV boots due to the lift I finally got new CV axles and while I was putting in these new ones I decided to install offroad solutions extended inner CV boot for add insurance.

Drilled out a rusted and seized fog light screw a couple of weeks ago, found a good cover and gasket off another busted housing, so replaced the bulb, swapped over that stuff to my foglight and bolted it back on the truck.
