well today i updated the brakes....i got new rotors and claipers and ofcourse pads.. the little "lock" thing that you have to remove in order to remove the nut was a pain to get out. all our barrings were good so i cleaned then and put neww grease on them... i think i need to bleed the brake better but its damn near impossible to do them your self. i got real real real dirty and i also found out that the love bugs here in florida love grease, i had a harder time with them getting stuck on everything than i did with the whole project. Thank you Glacier991 for the damn near perfect write up..

i suspension still has not arrived at Hedgehog motorsports...thats what i get for saying i will wait for their next shippment.....atleast i did not pay shipping. and if thats not enough of a headache ProComp said that it will be towards the end of the month before my tires and wheels would get here to to demand of that particular tire size and wheel design bs but they took off the chipping with saved me $95.00.

if you are gonna be doing some off road action in it and if its hot there, spend the 35 bucks and get a trans temp gauge kit. summit has one by B&M for bout 35 and it takes an hour or less to install.
nothin like deciding to go off road and end up blowin your trans pan gasket out (what i did) and turning a shaft of gears and bands into one solid metal rod...think smart, not hard.
but i start work tomorrow (yeah its been 9months with not job)
can i say pissed???? well i am this store that i bought my stuff from is pissing me off they called me and told me that my new wheels and tires were in and to come pick them up today well they were there but not mounted and balanced and i paid for them to be so hopefully tomorrow i will have them in my garage and some pictures of them here. the kits they promised to be here on tues. but i start work tomorrow (yeah its been 9months with not job) so i will have to find the time to install it.
below is the new rim ,,,,,Mickey Thompson M/T Signature Series Wheel only $116 each
gauge and all what about a mount for the gauge?
Man, I don't even have half of your $2k invested in mine and I'm on 34s, did a full transmission conversion, just ordered F250 shock towers, and replaced the exhaust system.
Then again, basically everything with my Explorer has been a matter of right place and right time for me, so... yeah.
That thing is amazingly clean- the black wheels are going to look REALLY good once you get the paint worked out like you want it. I'd have gone with a true mud terrain instead of the bogus A/Ts, but it's your truck.
Good luck and keep things updated, man.
