If he misses your call please send a email also that way there is record for him to go back on.

Different company see below. Glad you are enjoying our competitors product. We understand that our product isn't for everyone. We get confused with SSO all the time. But that's kinda what happens sometimes.

See below post.

Just watched the video and looked more closely at the bumper. That is an SSO not an SOS 2 totally different companies. It's all good though. Your truck still looks good and glad you are enjoying their product and using it.

@Mr. Nobody and I know a thing about twinning.

View attachment 18691

We basically have the exact same build but with different brands.
Click to expand...
That's pretty cool. Our twins are doing it down to the brands. Decked, softtopper, our over the top softtopper rack, our bumpers, skids, and sliders, switch pros, 35s, MESO customs, etc. It's almost hilarious because they buy the same stuff at almost exactly the same time. Once they get together again with all the stuff bolted on I'll get some more pics.

Those Black Rhino wheels are cool my only complaint about them is that they are heavy compared to the competition, even their spoke design wheels.

They are heavy. But at least once you have your momentum going, the weight is less of a factor than it was during acceleration. Right? Or did I completely make that up. I don’t know science, lol.

True! Upgraded the brakes to hopefully help with that.

More friction area and piston area is really the way to go over just a pad and rotor swap, even though that's a good start. A bunch of guys have been swapping to the later 14+ 5th gen 4runner calipers, rotors, and pads. It requires you to run 17" wheels but you increase the piston area in the caliper, the pads are a good bit bigger and the rotors are slightly larger dia. but a good bit thicker thus can take more heat input. After helping with a few and setting them up. I would recc. getting the adapter and Sequoia master from SOS Performance (no relation) at least the stock 2nd gen MC just doesn't move enough fluid and get a little bit of a soft pedal.

This is good advice to know. Thank you.
 
Just as an FYI we are still up and running at full bore. SC is opening back up and we are starting to work through the guys waiting for installs. All production hasn't slowed a bit. If ya'll have any questions or anything post it up.
