    M1123 brakes

    I think what sparked the idea was someone's post on here where their brakes lost power and it was because the line drooped down onto the cv axle and got chewed up. kind of scared the beans out of me. Then it came time to do my own pads and it was difficult to refeed the fittings onto the caliper...

    Parasitic Draw

    1. I checked the wiring from under the passenger seat to each appliance and they appear to be in good conduction. 2. I cleaned the negative terminals where they attach to the shunt. all of them are clean and have good wires. 3. The truck does not have have ancillary circuits to cause a draw...

    Nissan Armada Springs

    I used some spring compressors on the 4x4 armada spring to squeeze them onto the front with a spacer. I did cut off one ring and after doing so realized that it didnt lift like I wanted so I added the spacer. not I think I might have it to where I want it. If I could have done it all over again...

    also in regards to what pieces, the banjo bolt at the caliper has a 20 degree fitting which allows us to angle the line away from the cv axle and keep it away. this makes it safer to run these lines as opposed to having a bunch of non steel braided line that hovers right above and around the cv...

    3 inch Mikellis Body Lift

    So I gave into an impulse buy and purchased the 3 inch Mikellis body lift. I intend on documenting how it goes step by step on this string. I know of 4 mods that must be completed along with the installation of these body spacers. 1. undoing brake master cylinder from body panel. 2. readjusting...

    M1123 brakes

    I had them custom made with the fittings I wanted and measurements. Costed 200 but well worth it considering they're much more reliable and converts the caliper connection with a banjo bolt connector. I also plan on wrapping it with spiral tube protector to keep the silicone cover and steel...

    M1123 brakes

    I didn't remove the undercarriage braces as well but removed the calipers and broke the driver side hard line. This caused me to just eff it and replace them with steel braided so I can remove the caliper and not have to breed in the future. The caliper can dangle by the steel braided line just...

    Thr fittings are not stainless for the corrosion concern. The braided section has a sealed exterior coat to shield from corrosion.
