I found this on Tacomaworld. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-diy-big-brake-kit-oem-parts-part-s-provided-installed.443656/ I will need to do more research for myself. My friends that drive GX470's tell me they are swapping out their calipers for 5th Gen 4Runner calipers. This could be a great upgrade for more stopping power. I have notice a difference since I put on 33's and added about 200#'s of weight.

It was time for an oil change so what Better time to install a Fumoto valve and skids. As usual I got to into all the work and didn't take any photos. So here is a shot after it is back in the driveway in the rain. 
For those that will ask, fumoto make valves that will fit just about any oil pan. This makes oil changes when you have skid plate a lot easier. Pic for reference.

Nice custom work you have been doing to your Tacoma. Does that bed rack fit under the camper shell? I see pictures with the shell on and pictures with just the rack.

So the added 100 pounds of skid plates has drastically improved the ride of these BP51's. I will be playing with the settings again to get back to the ride I want for the street. Previously I had to lower the compression to the second bar and rebound is at 2.5 ish. Both will be going up some. It's pretty awesome to be able to change the settings as I work on the truck. ARB did a great job with these.
How do you like the skids and the valve? I am looking to order all of mine in then ear future its one of the things I want to get done because I am more nervous about damaging the under then I am anything else.

They fit super well. Hopefully I will be able to scratch them up in a couple weeks. The valve is the only way to go in my opinion. I would never be able to change the oil without removing the skids otherwise. I think it was like $30 bucks from RCI when I ordered the skids.
Are you on a stock suspension still? I dont know if I missed that looking back. Curious if you lost any ride height or anything from the weight. Aluminum or steel?
