What did you use to cap off your T under your master cylinder?
I am thinking a M10x1 to 3/8-24 adapter than a 3/8x24 plug would work, or, just cutting and welding shut a small piece of line.

I've looked, could not see any M10x1 inverted flare plugs. I'll have to double check.
Did you have any issues with air getting into your ABS module? Did you bleed it after manually, or using the computer system at Toyota? Thats my only concern with ripping those lines off of the ABS module.

The best is go to the counter at greggs and they have tons of stuff that's not in their catalogue it's a plug with a hex head to tighten, its v shaped to it blocks it off completely.
Had some trouble with air in the abs module afterwords but you just have to bleed it and cycle the key on while ur bleeding, drive on ice and slam on the brakes to make the abs work and I was able to work it out, takes a little time

Gonna head over tomorrow to Greggs.
I heard that's the DIY method for doing it if you don't have the computer to cycle the ABS solenoids on command. Installing it near the rear leaves me with two lines to make and one plug, but, I'd rather have it up front under the hood by the ABS module. One, for easy adjustment, but two, just to keep it clean.
Thanks for the info.

That's 2 more DC's that are gonna be going to 35's this winter! Cant want, gonna look awesome.
Thanks for the help with the brake mod. I got my valve in this afternoon. Question, where do you run your valve for positioning? I ran mine fully open (less rear) and fully closed (more rear) and now am playing around with it in the middle. Almost December and now snow on the roads, crazy. Waiting for the next snowfall so I can test it out with ABS and find the sweet spot.
Where are you located again? Southern Alberta or Edmonton?

The way I adjusted mine was fully open rear,then did some emergency stops and adjusted it until I didn't get any chirps out of the back tires, haven't had any problems on the ice so far and the abs engages much less. I'm near spruce grove so whoever gets to tubbing first we'll have to meet up and compare notes

Started test fitting, rim quality is very high and balanced up with barely any weight... tires are laaaarge as I like to keep it as low as possible. Gonna start tubbing this weekend then figure out what to do with the fenders after the fact. I was worried about the bronze with the dark grey but I'm happy with it

Sweet. Ya my F5's balanced up with very minimal weight.
If ya need a hand with tubbing let me know and I'll PM ya my phone number.
So, any first observations? Rear fits fine I assume.
Front, anything crazy showing on the DC?

That looks great! I'm really on fence with my truck on whether to go with 285s or just go straight to 35s. Have you driven around yet? Curious if you have any issues driving around town on it up front prior to cutting/tubbing?
How much lift do you estimate you have?

Front is all clear with my bumper on, lots of firewall interfetence but I was expecting that, honestly I don't know how much lift I have cuz I've played with so many setups since it was stock
I really would like someone with a stock DC to measure centre of front hub straight up to the fender flare to compare. Rear seems to be all clear haven't had time to try stuffing it.
