Great White Taco build

I run EBC Bluestuff NDX with stoptech slotted rotors. Stops like a mini cooper now... only issue is they do need to warm up a bit but when they bite they bite good.

 

My current brakes are EBC dimpled and slotted rotors and Hawk LTS pads. I liked the break-in bite of the pads, but now that they have 50+ miles, they are just pretty good. Current weight of truck is ~5600 with me and half tank of gas, and no camping gear. It brakes pretty good, but I think there is fade early on, or more pressure needed at the pedal. I havent had to stop quickly yet, and hope i don't need to. At least I know the passenger caliper is good, and theres fresh fluid.

 

I think we're both heavy set trucks a this point haha - we are just going to drop anchor and pray for the best. When's the next time you're heading up to the northeast?

 

Im not sure yet. From now to mid October is pretty busy for me. Getting married on October 9, so lots of prep. Also driving to Montana on August 9, so thats been taking up my time preparing for that.

I want to say, at earliest end of October, but not sure yet. Want to see some family in NYC. Id definitely like to go further north too.

 

I should have the truck back together by then - maybe a Fall north maine woods trip is due?

 

Its definitely due.. im going to vote for a spring one though

 

Happy birthday David!

 

Happy birthday bro!!

 

Thanks!!

 

I think its this one! Tornado gray, no windows. Or maybe the shorter one on the right?

 

Hey Dave , when you installed your fridge, did you use those "special" funky tracks that fit between the raised ridges in the bed? I thought I've seen it in your build, but I can't seem to find it...

 

Thats what I want to do, but havent yet. They're called "L track". What i have my fridge slide on is just a piece of 3/4" plywood.

 

Thanks bud. It definitely isn't cheap

 

Yea. My thought was to get a long piece and find other places to use it

 

I think it might be the shorter one to the right of my arrow. Mine doesnt have any windows next to cab or tailgate.

In their update videos, they claim to be building and installing 40 per week! I think they are only installing the campers Fri-Mon, so 10 per day is pretty impressive

 

Yep, they are making a killing. At that rate they are making* 1/4 million a week.
*I know they have to pay business costs

 

At ~$7500+ each, thats alot of dough
