    So far it looks like I'll be going out to glamis Fri-Sun.

    And if I can get this brake issue resolved, I'll try and take my truck and stop in Ocotillo for a night/day on the way there.

    Thinking about it. I just have to properly bleed my master cylinder, and I hope that solves my problems.

    If not, I'll just ride passenger with my brother in the sand rail.

    What's wrong with your brakes? bleeding is easy

    I installed a new brake booster and master cylinder, but I didn't realize I was supposed to bench bleed the MC before I installed it.

    Now I have no pressure at all. I might have to adjust it at the brake pedal as well. It hasn't been as easy as simply bleeding brakes.

    That doesn't sound fun I'm pretty good with brakes but I've never rebuilt the caliper before figured it's cheaper to buy a new on with lifetime warranty

    So I saw Rogue One tonight. Thought it sucked, but I am a purist when it comes to SW.

    Changing the front brake rotors was a royal pain in the ass on this thing.

    But the brake booster upgrade to a T-100 from my stock one was necessary. It should allow me to actually have brakes while crawling instead of relying on 4lo as my brakes. This is all just a minor setback since it's a slight learning curve as it's my first such swap.

    I have yet to watch a single SW movie. I don't even think I ever knew about it growing up as a child.

    I've probably only installed one new set of VatoZone calipers on a previous car. They're cheap enough to replace that I don't think I'd want to deal with working on them.

    I installed them on an old car lifetime warranty. got some on my buddies truck lifetime warranty. I use to have some really nice calipers on my explorer can't remember the brand but spend 250 on new pad rotors calipers and all. was a good chunk of money but those brakes never had a problem my old boss was a car Guy and had a dude hook me up with a factory price. from what I remember the whole set up was like 400 bux if bought online so got hooked up

    I just went with basic shit on my truck. I just mainly need it to stop while on public roads and to hold pressure while off road. For the most part, being in 4lo off road allows for better control than stepping on the brake. And I mostly downshift to use the gears as a brake on public roads.

    Plus once I drop in my dual cases, brakes won't do shit in compound low. :turtleride:

    I really have no idea what your talking about the SAS thing makes no sense to me not sure what a straight axle even is. I mean I've seen some and tried to study what is underneath them but don't know many people that have done it
