What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sounds like you need to get tuned!

 

Why not just pull the drum off to paint it?

 

Took me literally one minute to mask, and less than a minute to put the drop cloth into place.

Would take me longer to retract the shoes, and hammer off the cover. Plus one more thing to go wrong. Plenty of drum brakes fly apart once you take the cover off

 

Come to the darkside and get it in patch form.

 

Thank you!!

 

same here- i did the same to mine recently, looks Waaaaaay better!

 

Patience is a very elusive thing. Lol

 

I went with white and yellow set of fogs so I can use what I need depending on location and weather , with the push of a button or 2. Imo if you go all white or all yellow , you’ll find yourself in a situation where you’d wish you had choice. The rest is in pic. Also have a 8 gang AUXBEAM control panel etc etc.

 

You’re close.

 

Paid it off today! Now the truck is not "burdened" with debt and can be driven without that weight!!

 

Why not just wait for like 4th of July sale?

 

Because I’ll probably have them installed by then. Ummmmmm…….. “look hun, a sale at DD for the 4th”.

 

He didn't have the battery life on his phone to wait any longer.

 

But then why set a coffee mug on the paint?

 

Now that is how to do things. I’ll have to use that excuse some time in the near future.

 

That’s what my hood scoop is for. I saw that as well. lol

 

Ha, I painted my drums Tuesday too. Since my truck is already in hovercraft mode while the suspension gets revalved (again), I pulled them off and painted them in the garage. Used the same paint but w/ a base of VHT high heat primer and engine enamel clear over top. Amazed at the amount of factory 'coating' that came off in the prep process, and amazed how terrible they already looked for only being 10 months old. This paint/process works very well on calipers when I've done it in the past but first time doing it on a drum and I think drums get a little hotter. Hopefully it lasts.

Also had no issues removing them.. just put a prybar between the drum and the base and the pop right out. Didn't have to retract anything - just make sure the parking brake is disengaged.

 

Congrats!

 

Ordered these today.

 

I was just looking at doing something like this, but just a hitch extender for my bike rack so I can lower my tailgate with the bikes still on. Wasn't sure about the "flex" and downward weight on the trailer hitch. Could this be a possible issue?
