On the right? I'm still confused.

 

His driver wheel used to be where Jack was standing, it doesn't look it in the picture but the passenger side dirt face is near vertical and he slipped in trying to save it

Couldn't tell you the last time I even saw a Bravada

 

500 hours, what am amateur.

May 15 my flatbed looked like this.

 

Yep he fell in. And that vertical dirt wall was all clay

 

@AllTacosFloat @Brownmatthall We may have an spc inner bushing solution soon.

 

Wonder when it’ll be available. Not on the site yet

 

Did an oil filter housing mod last night. First what should have been a 30 minute oil change, turned into 90 minutes. Only 3300 miles on the filter and oil, but wanted to change before i put a ton of miles on in the next few weeks. Any ways, the oil filter wrench (more like the socket that is used to remove the filter housing, decided it wanted to stay on the dam canister. Well, after 20 minutes, hitting, slamming, twisting and anything else I could think of, I decided next oil change I will try to get it off. Normally, I would have just taken the filter back off and got the thing off, but because my son was helping, we had already started putting oil back in.

 

Look what I’m finally doing.

 

This would be Me putting together drum brakes:

 

Cheat sheet.

 

Once again......me:
(If you know....you know)

 

“How about a cup of coffee, Johnny?”
“No thanks.”

 

Holy crap! I finally have a good feeling brake pedal and my e-brake works.

 

They are not too hard

 

No. Not when you've done as many as I have.

I attempted to do them at Jared's house but couldn't get the passenger drum off. When I put the driver's side together I forgot to install a lever for the e-brake.
I brought the remaining brake parts with me to work today and said "today's the day".

The Powerstop drums are showing slight rust and the front Powerstop rotors have no rust.

 

While I was under the truck today I noticed that the bottom of my rear bumper wasn't bolted in. Upon further investigation, the bracket behind the bumper is bent slightly. So, it was either from me when I came off that rock or the previous owner.

I removed the rear bumper and tried to straighten the two small brackets. I got them somewhat straight, enough to bolt the bumper in properly. It still doesn't match up with the bodylines. I even loosened the rear bumper brackets and tried to pull the bumper down to no avail.

This is the part I'm referring to. #14 in the pic.



Looks like I may be able to get it for a better price at my local dealer (with my discount), than online.

If I go Chinese knock-off, how long before it turns to dust from the NE weather?

 

Not long!
