    The hilux is no longer a daily so it's time to have some fun with it. In the process of full bay tuck and was wondering if there's anyway to delete the booster and still have brakes. ?

    No booster would be not much braking!
    Think about relocation of it ,under dash units are available as will as under the frame, used in hot rodding a lot! :cool:

    You can fab in a smaller booster from a geo metro if you don't want to do heavy modification to your firewall/ under your dash bit if you're capable, go with an in cab master/ booster set up from an aftermarket brake company. I hear its a real bitch filling the master but might be worth it if you're going for the "bath tub look".

    But, with disk brakes, I do not recommend removing the booster completely.

    Thank you guys for the help I appreciate it. I probably won't be messing with it for a bit but was juts curious lol. Got all the wires tucked but now it won't start... Thought I put everything back together correctly lol. yeah the blue color is a natural mutation but a little harder to find.
