    House was pristine as usual!! Thanks for letting me come over. :) Sorry I missed you. :(

    Speaking of sliders ~ My husband came out to see Lucas' sliders. I wanted to show him your workmanship. I also mentioned about bolt ons and how these are custom and... well, ya know. At least he saw your product now. Perhaps he may change his mind in time for the Holidays. :cool:

    Oh trust me I know. I changed my pads and cylinders two weeks ago thinking it was brake fluid leaking. 2 days later it started leaking again and thats when we (Eric and I) realized it was gear oil :(

    Shoes are good for close to 200K miles...depending on how often MJ tows his trailer. I checked mine recently and with 124k miles, they're only half worn.

    Spent the better half of the morning with Jerry getting my sliders welded on. They turned out to be a huge pain because of my stupid limited cladding and flares. Jerry ended up having to cut off the legs and rewelding them on flat. O well, my fiance will be happier with them flatter to use as a step. Unfortunately I just realized I didn't take any pictures of the finished product before it got dark, but I will have some up tomorrow.

    Its not that, the pads are drenched in gear oil. Depending on how severe it is, it might be better to just replace them. And sad enough, these pads only have ~500 miles on them :(

    If they have any amount of oil on them, it'll be good to replace the shoes.

    I have this other issue where it seems like the pedal is soft. I've checked pads and shoes. Both seem OK. I'm thinking power bleed or maybe a big brake kit.

    Anyone have a big brake kit installed?

    Isn't released yet last I saw. The only recall bulletin I've seen said they were working on the fix. But it wasn't yet available

    Speaking of that. I checked the other day and don't see it listed for my VIN.
    Does this mean they haven't posted it yet or is there a VIN range for the recall?

    But I did see something else for PoP wheels-that's wheels you got outside of what Toyota installs on the vehicle. This would be for all trucks that have DSI installed wheels. The note said the TPMS doesn't work with them. Not sure what they are going to do about it but it seems like nothing. I just reset mine when I got the new tires-haven't worried about it since.

    the Relentless Tranmission & Transfer Case. However pairing it up to my ATO skid required drilling new holes. I have not installed the Transfer Case as MJ & I both need to trim the rear lip to clear our re-routed exhausts.

    I have one used Glock 22 (.40) with Glock factory night sights for $399, and then I have a good handful of used Glock 35 (Competition model, .40) for $499. I do believe I might also have a used 19 (9mm compact). I'd have to double check that. We have had the stag lowers in, but I would have to double check my inventory in the morning and see if I have any more in stock. Unless you were specifically looking for Stag, we have others that would be a better bang for your buck, or all around better quality. CMMG blemished stripped lowers (have small imperfections in the finish) for $99.99. Probably the best deal we have right now.
