That's exactly what I was after yt! :lol:

Patience is not my strong suit, ordered the actuator and fixed coupler this morning. Will worry about adding rear axle brakes at a later date. Should be able to get all of the wiring done this weekend, then replace the coupler and actuator next weekend.

Well dangit, if I'm going to open up the brake lines, I might as well add the rear discs too so I only have to bleed it out once. Ordered.

I knew it!!
It’s scary how similar you line up with my line of thinking sometimes, T550. :)
That is exactly what I would have done.

You all just watched a $175 purchase grow into a $1300 purchase. If only I could make the same thing happen with income. Good thing my wife is not on the forum.

I always cost money to do it right the first time. Much cheaper than add-ons in the long run.

I support you and your money 100%.

Used probably 400' of the wiring. Got the harnesses built. Hope I measured right...
