    Told you my truck is a pig and I drove it like I stole it. :eek:

    The EBC's work great, but they are a bit more abrasive on the rotors. Add on that my truck sees almost as many dirt miles as it does street miles, so there's always dirt, mud, rocks and crap on the brakes which makes it impossible to prevent record player groves in the rotors. I had to turn down the rotors more than you would on a street vehicle to get rid of all the groves. Hence...2 uses.

    Brakes a cheap. $60 for pads and $130 for rotors every couple years is not really a big deal to me.

    I run green. They will fade faster than the yellow, but they seem to hold up well to my spirited runs. I only got them to fade one time and that was hauling balls with the trailer behind me and a 2500 foot elevation drop on the shakedown session. They yellow also put out substantially more brake dust.

    Sorry for the hi-jack on your build Eric. I saw you were contemplating the disks on the rear and just wanted to make sure you were fully aware of what kind of can of worms you were going to be opening. I'll return to my cave now.

    No really it's just time for a change and I :drool: over Scotty's design. I love the open center section kind of like a Slee bumper. I always wished that Slee had come up with a bumper for our trucks.

    Perfectionist was meant to be a complement in Jace's thread. I wasn't being sarcastic. You have knowledge and opinions that I trust. Hence why I ask your opinion. :D
