What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There are problems with not driving much, too.

My commute is 7.2 mi. round trip and I've been working from home a lot. Back in January, I had a Power Stop front caliper seize up and warp the rotor. Took it into the shop, had both calipers and rotors replaced. At the time, the manager showed me that my rear rotors (yes, rotors) were rusting. My reaction was "Meh.".

Welp, 3 weeks later I was back because one of the rusty rear rotors grabbed the ceramic pad out of the caliper causing a nice "BANG!" and ruining both caliper and rotor. Had both the calipers replaced, and the manager went ahead and ordered some coated rotors. Looked weird. They were all silver, including the tophat. We'll see how they hold up.

 

2.75 in and 3.0 in. The ones that I ordered are here:

$17 Roadformer 2.75" T-Bolt Hose O.D. Clamp - Working Range 65mm - 73mm(2.56" - 2.87") for 2.75" Hose OD, Stainless Steel Bolt and Band, Floating Bridge and Nylon Insert Locknut (65mm - 73mm, 2 pack)

ETA: Sorry for the delayed reply. Been down because of the Norovirus. It's a nasty virus. One word of advice about the Norovirus, if you get it, NEVER TRUST A FART.

 

I assume that you receive that message after you get near the zero miles left message. When did it come on and how far were you able to drive with that message showing?

 

lol, 45 miles and an average of 1.5hrs each way.

 

Wow! My dayshift commute is about the same amount of time for half the distance…that’s why I work an off shift now!

 

Yikes. Been there. Sage advice my friend.

 

Few things. Finished the bumper and winch yesterday. All the skids are on except the rear diff and transfer case skids. Sliders are on the way and lift is sitting on the garage floor waiting for another nice weekend.

 

I was on I 5 when it came on and drove 21 miles to the gas station, it came on at 5 miles remaining. Also I had cruise control on, I had 1500 pounds in the bed, my roof rack and tent on.... good to know, dont usually cut it that close, I had a can with me and was about to pull over and use it

 

Looking good! I love my Hi line bumper have a few recoveries with it now and holding up great!

 

Does anyone know where I can I find this "how-to"? Thanks!

 

Oil change weekend. Lady’s car yesterday and taco today

 

Thanks, this is really good information to have. I have never cut it that close but have gotten near that mark before. My wife freaks out. She just would not STFU on one occasion. I almost put her in the bed of the truck until I needed her to push.

 

What the hell? I could bicycle to work faster than that, and that's on a mountain bike, not a road bike.

 

think of it as tightening

its like having loose steering that feels like a box truck, then

I think lot of the comments on the change are exaggerated but yes, there is a noticeably positive difference.

 

Yeah western Washington traffic is horrible.

 

Looks great! I want the same bumper

 

I want to hire someone to cut it for me. So many daring people with it.

 

you really building that rig up for those epic Long Island trails?

 

Pretzel steering wheel

 

No salt?
