Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

me too sorta. I did the TRD Baja kit, which I got for a good price. while getting into wheeling and testing my truck I have come to the realization its just not enough, so I'm planning on (re-upgrading?). my suspension was good for the price so I don't regret it, but the wheeling bug has bit so its gotta go. if you think you'll get serious about wheeling - just do it right the first time and save yourself the time and money

 

I didn't relocate my shocks

 

Stoked to have met you Roger! Had a great time out there and fun spotting you through. Hope to link up again before you leave back for Louisiana! @rmarqu2

Welcome

 

Maybe another meet is in order? Something in the East Bay?

 

im about to lose my shit at my brakes.

 

I'm gonna try hosting another mod day at my place next month when I get a weekend off. I'll look at the schedule tonight and throw down a couple tentative dates that we can decide on.

 

Whats up with your brakes... Mine are giving me a vibe when I brake but its not the rotors. Im planning on checking out the pads this weekend. Also going to open up my drums. Ever since the water at deer valley Ive had a vibe when I brake.

 

i replaced my pads only about 3 weeks ago. everything was great until they bed in, squeak city. So i replaced them and i changed the rotors because they were OEM and i figured i might as well.

Now im about 200 miles in and i have a very weird grab n go feel from MPH 10-0. When i come to a stop i dont feel anything until im almost stopped and it jerks me forward/back in my seat like if you didnt give it enough gas and i had a manual transmission. Its the weirdest thing. Im about to take it in and just have them turn the brand new rotors and inspect the calipers for possible seized calipers. But ive never had this until new rotors. Reason why i believe they may be barely out of "true".

Its the rears, i changed front pads/rotors about 2k miles ago and no issues.

 

Sounds similar to my vibe. Its annoying... I'm going to tear mine apart Sunday. Ill buy new rotors and pads if I have to.

 

its really frustrating. Ive had them apart 4 times in the last 3 weeks. Im done dealing with it. Im hoping its just an imperfect rotor out of the box. Cheapest fix as well.

 

I used to have the same problem with my brakes until I bought a set of drilled and slotted rotors. I've never had a problem with them!

 

YES EAST BAY!!!!!
