^ What he said...
Looks like someone sold me a lemon! You know who you are! :violent-smiley-031:
But actually I was a bit rough on my tires...
So I went back to my old favorite! It's nice to be able to hear again when driving... I guess I would consider this a 100k birthday present for my truck. :birthday.sml:

It looked like a sidewall tear to me, the tire was just dried out and cracked. Went to work and came out a few hours later and it was flat. It lived a long life, and saw many amazing places.
The flat tire could have been aggravated by last weekends run to Pancake Rock. Every seen a 98% rollover?

I needed to replace my brake pads and rotors, so I did the Tundra brake swap on my Tacoma, with all the weight I carry and the larger tires I should have done this long ago. I upgraded to aftermarket slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines. Just the safety factor alone was worth it!
Not my pictures but a good comparison: :Wow1:
Next on the list:
Rear Traction Bar (BudBuilt)
Another AAL for the Dakars
Rear Frame Reinforcement Plates (CBI)

You had no problems with wheels rubbing the bigger calipers? I need to do this too (plus a couple you have on your list also).
Got a link handy to somewhere about the swap too?

With the aftermarket 16" wheels I have there is no rubbing, thought this out a few years back. I always have the future in mind. 
If you do a quick google search there should be several links on "how to" installs.

Cool! I see some Deaver AAL's there, what did you do for rear spring packs? Any changes?
How do you like the AT's?
