When the shop did the diagnostic on the ABS they also noticed a coolant leak at the front water bypass. I spent the day fixing that. The o-ring was cracked an hard as plastic. Of course I had ordered the wrong oring but fortunately the closest Toyota dealer's parts department is open on Sundays. After waiting for Jen to get home I ran down picked up the right one and some of the magical pink Toyota coolant. No leaks currently.

It's not that big of a truck, it's the same size as a 4th gen 4Runner.

Wasn’t talking about the axles. Suspension pieces like the Trailing arms.

What’s going on with the abs? I bleed my brakes and was worried that I would need some special abs tool, luckily I didn’t, but one of the guys at work has it if need be. A tec 2 or something?

At the moment nothing. When the shop was doing the diagnostic process they separated the master from the booster to check for internal leaks. Ever since I've had it back the brake pedal has been much more linear and firm. I also haven't had the warning lights come on.

We must be looking at different posts. I was referring to Chris' last post of the instagram link. Everything was stock in the pics besides springs, shocks and upper A arms. The stock stuff is what looks tiny. Go back and see for yourself.

Like I said it's the same as a 4Runner. Even setup like that it's basically a 5000lb truck maximum, so it's not super heavy duty.

Yeah, those upper control arms are extra beefy so it also makes things looks smaller than they really are.

Worked on the trailer today. I installed some lower profile LED taillights and clearance lights on it.
