Frame was already plated on the inside. I had my hoses made locally with a 90 on one end. Ram is from the Surplus Center.

Got the offending rear caliper swapped out. Old:

mudmaster · July 17, 2017, 01:37:02 PM

New one on with some EBC pads.

Went to Elbe a week and half ago. We had some snow overnight.

mudmaster · February 28, 2018, 09:24:35 AM

Also was coming down while we were still out wheeling.

mudmaster · February 28, 2018, 09:44:09 AM

I was backing up and a stump attacked me.

mudmaster · February 28, 2018, 09:45:42 AM

It crushed the passenger side rear shock. Time to finally install the AP rear springs.

mudmaster · March 06, 2018, 05:30:53 AM

And so it begins........

Very nice, got to be Stoked on new springs. Any thought on inboarding them.

mudmaster · March 06, 2018, 07:53:00 PM

No. Don't see a need to.

mudmaster · March 09, 2018, 09:36:36 AM

Front hanger tacked on.

mudmaster · March 18, 2018, 10:36:05 AM

Rear hangers tacked on.

mudmaster · March 18, 2018, 10:38:22 AM

Got the rear springs installed as far as I could. AP didn't ship all the parts

mudmaster · April 09, 2018, 07:28:35 AM

Got the new hangers burned in and painted.

mudmaster · April 09, 2018, 07:30:18 AM

Ended up with a 25* angle.

mudmaster · April 09, 2018, 07:31:02 AM

Spring perches are now burned in and painted too.

mudmaster · April 17, 2018, 05:31:54 AM

Back on the ground. Just need to fill the diff and install shocks and the rear is done.

mudmaster · April 23, 2018, 06:51:02 AM

The rear is done. Now on to the front for the 25mm pin and Taco brake upgrades, plus some much needed maintenance.

mudmaster · April 24, 2018, 05:30:07 AM

Everything is torn down. Now to clean and figure out how to get it all back together.

mudmaster · May 08, 2018, 05:25:12 AM

Cleaned and going back together......

mudmaster · May 08, 2018, 05:26:02 AM

Getting there.....

mudmaster · May 08, 2018, 05:27:58 AM

Passenger side almost complete.

mudmaster · May 08, 2018, 05:29:01 AM

Thanks to BestGen for the help on the driver's side shaft it is now at the same step as the passenger's side.

mudmaster · May 08, 2018, 05:30:19 AM

Both sides are complete and need the brakes bled and then fill the diff.

OVRAROK · May 08, 2018, 05:49:16 AM

What year, and Model did you order new brake rotors, and calipers for? And do they fit 15" rims

mudmaster · May 08, 2018, 05:55:09 AM

The calipers are from a 2000 4Runner. I can't remember what years the rotors are from, but I can look it up when I get home for ya. I've heard they'll fit 15s depending on the wheel. I think SqWADoosh had 15s on Red and had to grind the calipers??

I did. I recommend running 1.5 spacers. So nice and planted that way anyways. Especially on trailer rig.

mudmaster · May 21, 2018, 09:04:53 AM

Front end upgrades are complete.

mudmaster · June 07, 2018, 11:55:30 AM

mudmaster · June 11, 2018, 09:45:09 AM
