    Doing some maintenance on the wip. Does this grease on the carrier bearing a sign that it’s going bad and it needs to be replaced? There not much play on it. One side looks better than the other. Hopefully not they are almost $300 IMG_9492.jpg IMG_9493.jpg

    Front pads and rotors because a grinding started and got bad real quick.
    Was making good time and feeling good until a piston wouldn't budge. Luckily the local parts stores have refurbished calipers for cheap. Then the hardline to the caliper broke. Lucky they had some short, pre-made in stock as well. Ruined the evening, but it got done. Side note, couldn't for the life of me stop the brake fluid drip. Any suggestions on a temporary plug method?

    I just always pinch the soft line with a pair of vise grips. Have driven home that way before.

    Have a friend that will help me with the install, he installed one on his XRunner. Most likely will go with the HPTuner.

    I did my entire floor and the back cab wall but have heard the most notable improvement is when the roof is done. Not looking forward to pulling the headliner, though.

    I cut the tip off an old rubber glove and ziptie that on sometimes. Pinching the softline sketches me out but should be fine tons of people do it.

    Awesome man:thumbsup:
    I installed mine this past November and it's been a blast with the extra power.:burnrubber: Everything is just better. Towing, passing, etc. I'm sure there won't be any disappointment.

    Finally installed the DD SS3 Pro fogs (Black Friday purchase). Had a tough time aiming them and will need to give it another try this week. Anytime fog light mod up next after that.

    Which pro grille is that? I’ve been looking for one and don’t really want to drop $400 on the OEM one. Would try one of the EBay ones if someone had one they vouched for.
