I should be getting my truck in the next few months. hopefully sooner rather than later. if you are around this area I would love to see your backflip in person as I need to get a bed cover once i get my truck.

Thought I post a quick possible issue for other to look for.... that do do the 3&1 lift like I did check your emergency brake line that goes over your rear leaf springs. They look like they rubbed a little when I checked my before my road trip so I took the one bracket off and straitened it out pretty good (hammer and hard surface) and put it back in place so no more rubbing now on either side.

The silver bracket is what you need to straiten to help the rear hand brake cable from rubbing on the rear leaf spring and possible long term issues.



Oh thought I mention this is a quick 5-10 mins fix per side and only need a 10mm socket or wrench and hammer.

Are you talking to me ?
If so they are jus tthe stock ones that came on the truck when I got it, so I would think the dealers should be able to get them for you. I do one day plan on replacing them probably with the AMP power ones but got to save a few mor pennies since I spent to many already this past month.
If you like me to try and get more pics for you I can but I don't have any currently of them.

They are factory, believe it or not Toyota doesnt seem to sell them since there part of a package or limited models only. GRR...One thing about Honda/Acura is it was really easy to get any OEM parts. If you have some pictures to post great, if not dont worry about it. Thanks

Everything OEM for the truck can be purchased...for a price.
Conicelli Parts Center - Factory Running Boards

You'd be better off posting a wanted ad in the classifieds section of this forum and waiting for someone to offload their's for less money. Someone got a screaming deal from me, I ditched mine a week after I got the truck cause I wanted nerfs.

Now I got to do some more heating and bend the front inner wheel well area to clear more space for the slight rub I am still gettign there. So far no need to bend the gravel guard as others have posted, This may be due to offset of my wheels. The only only thing left to do this weekend is modify that passenger side body mount that I already did on the drivers side which clears perfectly now.
I also decided to have them take out the wheel sensors so I could put them into my pipe bomb DIY unit so I won't have to worry about them in the future if I move to different wheels or if I mount my stocks back on for some reason.
Now I am all set and will post up some pics tonight when I get them off the camera in a new thread, so keep your eyes open for the new thread.

WOW looks great! I'd like to see them in person some time if you're in the DC metro area. I'm from Potomac so I come down to see family every month or so

The truck looks great. The tire info in this thread is very useful as well.
