    I've never seen a Toyota tech not capable of adjusting parking brakes. I only watched bits and pieces of the video but I'm not sure why he felt the need to remove the brake rotor. Slacken off the cable adjustment on the driver's side frame rail. Remove the rubber plug from the rotor and adjust shoes up until then touch then back off a touch so they are free. Do both side then adjust the cable untill resistance in the pedal is felt at about 1/4 down. Release the brake and check that the rotors still turn freely.

    Where are you having it done?

    I've been contemplating it, but as a Middle Tennessee resident, I think I would have to travel quite a ways to find someone to do it. ECGS is 8 hours away. But they only stock Nitro, and if I do it, I was thinking of Revolution.

    Auto headlight mod, seat covers, drop down rear seats mod, 2018+ LED Headlights, USA flag Tundra tailgate decal (many compliments on red Tundra), Alpine ILX-F509, front Focals, JL 10TW1-4s, Waxoyl undercoat, StartX remote start.
    Installed the Pedal Monster today. Thanks @ToyFan for the help and quick response. I previously installed the StartX remote start which uses the OBD II plug so I had to order the OBD splitter as well from Banks. Fortunately for me, the units did not compete and I have reverse safety and do not have to select No OBD. It's definitely way quicker response on that pedal. Was a little wet here today but I'm anticipating a fun future with this mod.

    Finally got around to asking my (uncle) mechanic to install a ton of things I haven't had time to get to. Dropped the car off looking like pic attached. Update in a couple weeks when I get back from vacation!

    It's gonna be nice coming back to a truck that sits a little taller and wider and has an overall better trim aesthetic.

    Parts list:
    1. Rear bench seat neoprene seat cover
    2. 3/2 leveling lift kit
    3. Diff drop kit (required for level kit)
    4. 1.5 in. wheel spacers
    5. Interior trim chrome delete kit (AJT)
    6. LED replacement kit for interior and some exterior bulbs
    7. Fender flares
    8. Window rain guards
    9. Matte black painted interior trim pieces that AJT didn't have

    Hoping to wrap the factory 20" TRD sport rims after the above is done. New tires in a few months, want to go from daily driving 33s to all terrain 35s and have some fun with this truck!

    This reminds me, I need to do something about mine. Either space the rear one down, remove that little factory t-case plate, or cut a hole in it...

    I had a popping noise coming from my passenger side deaver leaf springs. Took it to deaver last Friday and they swapped out the passenger side with a new set under warranty. While they were at it, I had them give me an extra inch of height in the rear. It was previously level and now it sits an inch and a quarter higher in the back. No more weird noises and happy with the new look.

    Love your wheels. I really wanted the polished but had to settle for the bronze.

    Looks like you have the same ones. I bought these in September of last year during a sale they had but didn’t get to installing them until November.

    Well after going back 3 other times for the issue, they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I later discovered one of the rebound clips kept loosening over time and was flapping back and forth. Rather than dealing with that issue they just gave me a new set.

    Had a little spare time to finish up the Meso trim pieces for the shifter and throw on the solid black TRD shift knob this morning.

    Rolled over 50k. Another 200k miles, and it’ll be broken in. :headbang:

    I might even clean the dust off the dash by then.
