DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I figured something like that. If you want it I'll pull it.

 

The lady at my local coffee shop put a shot of espresso in my second cup

 

I just did my front brake pads last Sunday. I found Pep Boys had the best price on the Akebono pads I was looking for. $61.99 but they were also running a 20% offer at the time.

 

Had I not found a good deal on some Hawk pads I got from a member on here, I would have gotten OEM.

You plan on resurfacing the rotors?

 

Yeah man that would be awesome!

 

I will give them a call. What is so special about Akebono pads?

Any thing special about Hawk pads?

I will have to look at the rotors, if they are scared then i will probably resurface them or buy new ones, which ever is cheaper. If they still look good then i will just throw new pads in there.

 

Nah I just got a smokin' deal on them. They stop the truck just fine.

I wouldn't replace the pads w/o either resurfacing or replacing, but that's your call. Resurfacing will be the cheaper option as long as they can still be in spec afterwards. I think the O'reilly by me does it for $12 a pop.

 

Thats cheap enough, but then i will have to get someone to take me up to the store after my truck is taken apart!

 

someone buy our oem chrome steps. just get them out of our garage

 

I gave mine away to a co worker

 

I'd entertain some silly trades for these, but I wouldn't give them away for free lol

 

I need to check mine before Big Bend... I wish I was not working this weekend, so looks like I will do it next week when I am off.

 

Not alot of people looking for them. And when they are they dont want to pay much for them. Or that is what i found.... mine were black also

 

Thanks for the info. I was just going to put the 12v outlet.... but would really like both the outlet and the USB outlet with the switch. Thought about building my own, but I hate making electrical connections.

 

Here is my list of vehicle checks before i head to big bend!

 

Why are you going to break your lights?

 

Having the USB's and 12v back there is awesome. I use them to fillet fish, charge my phone, and power a usb light all at the same time.

 

Wish I could roll out to BB with y'all... been too long since I've been there.

 

I see you have that in an excel sheet... should upload that excel sheet so I could take it and use that checklist as well... or add it to my checklist...

Word! Think I am going to go ahead and purchase it along with some other gear I am looking at.

 

If you want to come to Fort Worth you can use my garage. I need an extra set of hands to mess with my transfer case.
