Always looking for new mods/ideas to improve the truck. Waiting for the guy in the brown suit to bring me this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsi3szn4nC0. What you got coming in the mail or next on your mod wish list? I might steal some yo ideas

 

My bumper very very soon. Then more and more maintenance. Gotta fix my pad issue in the front right, gotta install the seals, and maybe fix my dents.

Also I plan on taking mojos line successfully eventually. It's a new goal of mine.

have to get over that root without destroying your entire driver side

you were so close!

 

Great vid Mike….

not easy to crown pop-a-mirror hill without damage…. unless the root is no longer there and if the root is no longer there it takes half the challenge…

Any recommendations for rear brake shoes? My brakes were locking up whenever I backed up sun, so I ripped the drum apart and found an assortment of springs and hardware on the driveway. Shoe ripped off the spring cap, and pulled out of the piston. I think I got it just in time before the piston blew all the way out.

I'm aware that I'm probably using the wrong terminology

 

I've never really seen any info for the rear brakes, and I've never removed the drums. Probably something I should do soon. Let me know whatever you find!

 

Def. Will definitely warn you guys next time I decide to try some dumb shit so it can at least get on video.

The thing was Josh said I did have my tire over the root. I just had to commit but I couldn't swallow taking any more damage that day.

Haha I remember, and I remember how fast he had to hit it. I hit it ad a medium speed but every time would see how close my roofline came to the left side and would get freaked out.

 

Rock auto has spring kits - get it. Never replace brakes without replacing the springs (IMO).

I went with OE brake pads.

Sounds like you may also need a new piston if you ripped the boot at all and it's leaking. I have a spare BGR gave me your welcome to have.

 

The outer boot has a small puncture, but the piston seal looks alright, nothing squirting out until the piston is almost free

 

cant personal talk on cell at work. hit me up tonight after 5.

 

Anyone interested in some night wheeling this Friday?

 

Rear brakes are piece of cake
Hardest part is removing drums if they have been on for awhile
First back off adjuster and then hammer time
As for shoes i used wagner shoes
And get spring kit
And might as well get new wheel cylinders as they are cheap
I would do both sides at same time
Get a chiltons if your not fumilar with rear drums

 

and only do one side at a time so when you have no idea what you should be putting back in you can reference the other side - or you could take a pic.

 

He's a pro at driving without brakes, what's the worst that could happen

 

There are threaded holes in the drums to screw a bolt in and press the drum off the studs.

 

Problem with using them is you totally rip apart your brakes if they aren't fully disengaged. I'd use them to only break the rust weld and then use a prybar for the rest so you can feel if they are hung up on anything.

That said I still had issues due to a sprung spring. Mine were shot at 70k.
