  1. I did lower the level in the resivior, when I completed the R2 on the pads I did pump up the system several times to make sure the new pads seated.

     

    Test run around the block went fine and the ABS worked too:)

  2. I am sitting here in wonder:

     

    Why have I always Paid good $$$'s for someone else to do my brakes. Granted most of the time in the past they were going crunch crunch crunch when I took them in:)

     

    Noticed that they were getting down there when I took off the front wheels to drill the holes for the SmittyBuilt side steps.

     

    It took about 10-15 min on each side. I was not worried about the rotor's due to the fact that the previous owner had the brakes done with rotors around 100k. The Meinike receipt was in the glove box :contract: and $12 for pads. (Did someone say CHEAPSKATE)

  3. Ok, I found some 33/950R-15 Mud Terrain SXT from Les Schwabs @$150 each (PC 02113966). They will fit on the stock rims NP.

     

    Will I have the steering clearance with the stock rims or will I have to up grade the rims with the Calmini 3" SL?

  4. Waiting for Parts :oops: I hate waiting :(

     

    So I started with some Busy work, New Cap and Rotor, lmao the ones that came off were Original OEM's, New Plugs Bosch +4's, going to need to buy a new tool for installing those. Once I get the plugs out I will decide on some new wires.

     

    Tint found some nice 2.5%, now i just need an assistant with patients, 6yr old out, 9 yr old out, 16 yr old out, wife not going there again.

     

    Grief vs cost hmmmm ill do some calling in the morning.

     

    95 gets a bath in the morning, hmmmmm think its time to do some wax on wax off.

  5. Take it in, have it tested, if it passes Great :clap: if it does not it will tell you what is failing. Then the tune up, egr and oil change cost go toward the $$$ limit placed on Emissions Compliance. Once you have reached that $$$ limit and it still does not pass. You typically get a "BYE"/ Waiver on the Emissions requirements.

     

    Most re-tests are free.

  6. If you go from the bottom up at the lock in where the spring starts its 9 to the top.

     

    Next on the agenda is BlackPanther Skids -bounce- unless someone has a better Idea???

  7. JCG's Installed with new Ranco RS5000's. P...

     

     

    As it sits now with all the jumping and bouncing, test run loading about 500lbs for fun.

     

    Alignment needed.

     

    I ended up with a full 1" lift in the rear. Front and rear wheel wells are amazingly Level at 34.5 " rear was at 33.5". I believe that this will do the trick for now.
