New England B.S. Thread

I share your sentiments regarding drilled and slotted rotors, especially on a truck. I like my blanks and I go for more aggressive pads to improve the bite.

 

Haha I took Josh on some light wheeling for his bronco review

 

Naw I’m just kinda ocd about front brakes. Lol

 

Time to sell some coins

 

Tap the caliper bracket. You got a new one coming in, might as well try.

 

I'm way behind on this thread.

I used to defend RI drivers anytime I was out of state when the subject came up. I've probably spent more hours driving in Mass than RI. I don't mind driving Worcester and Boston traffic. Can't say I've seen anything too bad in CT. I've even recently driven in NYC traffic without much trouble.

In the past couple years, I can only assume you only need to point to the gas pedal and pay the fee to get your license in RI. The driving here, especially in Providence area, is beyond awful.

 

Dear god help me...
Parking Brake now is iffy as hell...cable is detaching from rear wheels..
I still have the original rear breaks all hardware...2010 230K
Toyota of Smithfield RI cheapest price for the brake cable...$40 per cheaper than Westboro toyota and Toyota has a FREESHIP coupon right now for orders over $75!

I have a week of vacation coming up...that means the weather will be -20F
Brake job on the horizon

 

Are you the labor??

 

Hopefully

Lots of YouTube videos watched

 

Lol yeah me too. But there are some things I refuse to do on a driveway. But I still do most things there.

 

I might be needing rears..still on the original

 

Yup me too.

 

I should probably have more pause about the work I'm willing to take on in my driveway, but i will generally give it a go as lkng as i have the tools for the job.

 

I'm ONLY doing them because the Ebrake is toast. I can't keep parking on flat spots and come Feb I need inspection and if it sticks during that...eesh
FYI that's the 2nd gen kit from ROckAuto..
Cheaper than ANYPLACE else by $ 50+...and you can use a 5% code or 10% if you have one.
And it's only gone up 50% post covid...Can't believe I missed it at $92 apparently...

 

I have until warm weather comes back. Good luck with it all the Same

 

Flu an pneumonia shots on tap for today. Looks like l can collect a pension and werk til 62. A short year an a half away

 

Off to shuffle

 

random question, are my oem headlights worth anything?

 

If they're not destroyed, yeah probably a couple hundred maybe.

 

i haven't inspected closely but i imagine they're pretty mint. but might have gotten chipped wheeling or something
