    Not today...but Friday, stopped at O'Reilly Auto and picked up some $33 ea rotors and new front pads. They old ones would beat you silly when braking.
    Passenger side = no issues.
    Driver side.....issues.

    Broke a wheel stud when reassembling.
    Went back to parts store and bought 3. Figured my bad luck might persist.
    Replaced the broken one....and broke a second one on reassembly #2.
    Glad I bought 3.
    Tore apart and wouldn't you know it...broke a 3rd on the 3rd assembly attempt.
    Got pissed, went back before they closed and bought all they had.
    Replaced all 12 of them.
    Had a beer (or 4) to celebrate.

    Stops like it should.

    Any finished pictures of the herculiner, Lisa?

    I am going to shampoo my interior this week.

    I can't find any seat covers for the 60/40 bucket seats that are in stock and can get to my door in a week and a half :(

    No finished pics yet...I was going to wait until I could wash the truck and make it all pretty :)

    I got my seatcovers through toyotapartsstore.com...they ended up being GT Covers. They've held up well and I had them in about a week IIRC.

    Velour. They fit nicely, better than most seatcovers I've seen.

    I'd be happy to get you some pics of mine once I get everything put back together tomorrow!

    Ugh, I'd have to expedite the turnaround ($50) and then maybe do Fed-Ex 2 day ($35) so they turn out to be more expensive than I thought. I might just to go Pep Boys and get cheap covers for the trip...

    I ripped the front passenger side of my truck back apart and fixed my outer dif seal since I noticed at lunch I was leaking purple oil all over the parking lot...
