An adjustable proportioning valve helps when it comes to tuning the braking system. It's allot easier than digging rocks out of brake shoes. We used to pull the rear drums apart after every heat race and before the main to inspect for embedded rocks.

Discs give you fast heat dissipation, better clamping force more even clamping force and they clean out better when you're offroading Toyota did a good job with the braking system on the Tacoma, it's 10 times better than the braking system on my Jeep.

The brakes work great, its just old technology.

I don't understand why Toyota builds the Tacoma with drum brakes in the rear. Has anyone done a disc brake conversion?

No, it was really easy, 3 bolts for the bottom seat and 4 bolts for the head rest. 12mm socket. I'm going to make a removable platform that goes across the back for my dog to ride on or lay down on.

I removed my jump seats, more room for gear.

Thanks

The after market GPS system my dealer installed has a micro SD card slot, it will play music, movies, games and pictures.

I updated the screen saver on my stereo.

Your welcome! Post pics when you're finished.

I don't have first hand experience with Icon, but I also haven't heard anything bad about them. I have used King and Fox on my other offroad builds. I like that King uses a 7/8 shaft. Best advise I can offer is do your research and do a lot of it, as they say knowledge is power...

I have a 2013 access cab 4x4, I'm not doing mine until February. I'm currently building a motor for my Harley.

That's a good size budget, if you do the work yourself you will save a good chunk of money.

The majority of high end aftermarket shock manufactures use Eibach springs. It all depends on your budget.

OMF builds custom bead locks, they can even turn your stock Taco rims into bead locks. http://www.omfperformance.com/index.php

It all depends on your budget. I will be using the Total Chaos upper A arms with King 2.5 coil overs and King 2.5 reservoirs in the rear.

I would go with a quality coil over with reservoir up front and a quality reservoir shock in the rear. King Fox Icon Bilstein All build great shocks, they are rebuildable, tunable and adjustable.

Don't waist your money on pro crap junk. http://chaosfab.com/

Do notice any performance gain with the Borla?

A true bead lock rim is not D.O.T approved.
