Swapped out the factory 4" tip that came with my Gibson catback with a 5" tip. Did some modding, some intentional some unintentional to make it fit but I think it looks better.

Did you swapped tail lights with Toyota Prado lights?

Should have gone straight to the 7” pipe... that would be awesome! Or dual 6”ers...

i thought about it. I first wanted to see if the Gibson catback out of the box would just bolt up. then once it was on, I decided to measure the opening in the bumper and I knew it was close. the tip enlarged the opening to make itself fit. I think a 4.5" tip would fit without modifying the bumper.

Acrad35751, bbqsoup, anyone else?

What’s the position of the brake wear indicators for the front and rear brakes pads - outer or inner & top or bottom?

Does the position really matters?

Thanks

I think most modern things I have worked on these have been inner since that pad would be visually harder to observe without taking the tire off.

I don't see a designation for the fronts in the FSM...just the rears. It was long enough ago for me I can't remember this specific visual about the job. Sorry

The wear bar is on the inner pads. One thing to note, save the oem shims, the ProAct pads shims are just small plates stick behind the pads so I reused the oem ones.

Swapped the 14+ altezzas for a set of 10-13 tails. I am neither fast nor furious so maybe not an impressive mod but it’s my favorite so far.

oh, set of clean 14+ tails for sale now too! Lol

Nice mod. Are they the exact same size?
And where did you order them from?

Yes... Not sure why the picture didn't show. It was in the preview, and it's there when I edit.

Bummer... I worked really hard on it.
