Just because i am new here does not mean I am new to forums, or wheelin'.
oh but it's ok, look at his avatar and the flex his daddy's truck has
and just for the sake of argument; if you throw a steep cam in a SB Chevy for instance, then your vaccum can drop and cause braking issues. basically a lack of power brakes; had it happen in my 82 Monte Carlo

A simply cure for that is hydroboost brakes.... We were talking about power causing your brakes to lock up, not lack of vacuum at idle(the only time that your cam is really going to effect idle) causing you not to have any brakes.
And as for the comment about the 4runner in my avatar being daddies. Nice try, its mine. I didn't build it, i bought it. But it is mine. And the rig i traded for it was built by me. The comment about my age is kind of ty, I've served almost 10 years active duty military, i dont need my age, or my possession called into question by someone on a forum board.
Here is my old rig, on my trailer when i met the guy that owned the 4runner, so we could trade
and the 4runner loaded up on the trailer(im in black shirt)
the comment i made was after ozzie made several attempts to cover his tracks, instead of just admitting he was wrong, and didn't know what he was talking about. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ozzie, since you want to try and make # of posts relevant, how is it you can have 4000+ posts, yet not know how a brake system works, or what clutch to install in your truck?

after i was trying to cover my tracks? trust me if i was tryin to cover my tracks i would have emailed one of the mods tellin them to delete my posts. quit being a di...err... jerk (edit for forum friendly language). i just mentioned your # of posts cuz u only have 20 something and already seem to be trying to start fights with me. oh well im done arguing, cuz arguing online is like being in the special olympics cuz even if u win ur still retarded. so yeah, go have fun with daddys truck.
and if you really are military, then i have to thank you for your service, though you dont seem to be very friendly.
btw, you're a marine, arent you?

oh for god sakes. lol in the past 3 months i have seen more fights on this forum than ever before. Look we are talking about trucks, we don't need to diss on people's character. If someone has 4000 posts and still doesn't no crap, maybe that person is trying to learn by asking lots of questions? If the guy doesn't know what clutch to buy, maybe it is because they have never had to change a clutch in their toyota before? I didn't know what to get, so I asked and got answers from people who have done clutches on TOYOTAS, and have experiences with different clutches on their TOYOTA. I have done all kinds of car and truck work, and i spent quite a bit time in the auto shop in high school, but that doesn't mean as soon as come into possession of a vehicle i instantly know everything about it. I am not trying to be rude, nor should anyone else be one this forum. We are here to ask questions, learn, help others, and give our opinion about the trucks, not telling the person that he/she is being an idiot or not. At least that's why i am here. No one will probably listen to me, so in the mean time,

I hate you all.
Anyways.
Procomps are great tires. We were the only place in bakersfield that stocked them besides 4 wheel parts when i worked at discount tire centers... We sold them by the bushel.
I saw one come back with tread seperation.
Then again, i saw alot of tires come back with tread separation.
Like any tire, take care of them and they will take care of you.

I'm sorry, but I own a ford too, and I would have kept the EB. They are way harder to find in decent shape than a first gen 4Runner. At least around here. And they're just cool. Nice Super Duty too by the way. You have a 6.0L in it?

Wouldnt the power of the engine actually affect the brakes, because of the different vacuum in the brake booster?? Also, if the rear drum brakes are screwed up, the car will slide easier, because disc/drum brake systems are designed for the rear brakes to start first, and if they are messed up, they could easily lockup and slide before the front brakes engage. Which is helped my using mudders in the rain.

Dunno about the mud terrains from pro comp, but my at's are great in the rain and snow. haven't tried mud, they're not suited for it, and Apalmer can attest to the performance of my at's in rocks, after airing down of course. Probable reason the jeep slid: 1. they're lighter and tend to lock brakes easier 2. he had mud tires, they just generally don't do as well in rain 3. they probably weren't siped, siping can make a hell of a difference.
