    You will be very happy with that rotor & pad combo. Did it a couple weeks ago before my cross country drive, an I tell you what, huge improvement over stock.
    Don’t know about those calipers however

    Guess we’ll find out. They have a lifetime Napa warranty so I’m not too worried. Figure anything will be an improvement over what I had.

    Yea they are, they try to keep the deposits/debris down at the bottom and out of the important components. And makes inspections a little easier, being able to see what’s been floating around in there.

    My upgrade rotors came black and the finish lasted about two laps around the block. If it’s an up charge, save the loot.

    Good to hear man.

    I just got mine last week, 2nd owner 141k miles.

    My local dealer wanted $680 to drop the pan, change the filter, drain and fill and seal up pan. Or 290 for a BG service flush. But I wanted to drop pan and clean out all that grime.

    Definitely worth the time to do it ourselves, except da wifey not happy with the new aroma in garage

    @CaliRaisedLed 43" dual color single row bar came in today can't wait to get it installed this weekend. Looks like it took a few good hits in shipping so lets hope it still works:fingerscrossed:. Also weird that they don't include a sticker or anything.

    Looks like SOS streamline without hoop. I have one with hoop and love it with or without.

    20% SOS Black Friday sale going on right now if you’re interested!

    Are you referring to the tailgate anti-theft brackets? If so I’d be interested in a set for 2nd Gen

    I have a 1st Gen, but got tagged... Either case, I can attest that the struts are pretty SOLID!!! I've had them on a few months now and have had to lift my hood a few times since for whatever reason and everytime I do, it's honestly gotten to the point that I kindof forgot that I even have them and just lift the hood without even thinking.

    I've done some wheeling since my install and the struts still work like champs. This picture is from the TW Big Bear 2019 family reunion,
    coming down Heartbreak Trail.
    IMG_8020.jpg

    Not super hardcore, but I can assure you the body is flexing and that was a little bit of a concern at first, but no, NOT a problem!!! We aired up a few hours later, again, not even thinking I had them installed as I open the hood. They just lifted the hood like nothing.

    Btw, to the one poster,
    I have CBI ditch light brackets, even though I'm a 1st Gen, I honestly wouldn't be too concerned. The hood, and mine is max lift, doesn't come all that close. Again, I realize I'm a 1st Gen, but I believe even yours would be fine and clear at max hood lift. Hope this sorta helps you?

    @SpikerEng sorry brotha for being late to reply to your tag. HAHAHAHA, been pretty busy as usual!!! Tired brotha!!!

    Ah ok, we’ll see if it lasts the bedding process. No it wasn’t an up charge luckily.

    She runs. What more can I ask for?
    I've been wanting to ditch my radio antenna but I don't want to leave a hole there. I want to cap it off without it looking janky.
