I wish i could hook you up with my rims but they are fine! She hit my passenger side rear quarter panel. I need a new front door and suicide door and new passenger rear tire. Since the rig is so messed up (paint wise) it would look sstupid to get the new doors painted new...so I am going to repaint the whole thing. plus I was going to replace the tires with 33's anyways, so I will take the free 33" tire and buy 4 others (spare too)...

I shoudl still be able to wheel next weekend though! there is a chunk out of my rear tire but I should be fine.

Re: Extending brake line and relocating bracket on rear control arms?

Silly Woodsman !

I knew when I bought the OME/Toytec lift with the the Toytec extended springs and 2" longer shocks that it would be wise to buy the extended brake lines. . . but I didn't. As I've heard others mention, that brake line gets pretty tight when the rear is articulated.

Obviously, I will plan to extend the lines since I witnessed this but it won't happen until after the Summit.

My question: Has anyone lost their brakes due to a stretched brake line when articulating ?
