Homemade skid plate install kit

 

hey whatever gets the job done.

 

So here's the plan: I'm stopping at the Subway in Colfax between 930-945 tomorrow morning. I'll be leaving there by 10 to head to Red Dog. If anyone wants to meet me there, I'm in a white 2nd Gen AC with a bed topper. It'll have bikes on the back of it.

If you can't make it by then but still want to come, follow my directions in the above post.

Throwing it out here before I make a thread...

So back in November I installed EBC Stage 5 rotors and pads. I had done pads before but this was the first time I removed/installed rotors. It was very easy, the rotors came right off the hub which was clean and free of rust.

Went through the break-in period and they felt great! Fast forward 2500 miles and three wheeling trips and now I get some vibration above 50 mph only when braking. So it seems my rotors are warped. I see 4 possible reasons:

#1 - Improper install. I'd like to think not, but a possibility

#2 - Warped going through muddy puddles with hot brakes while wheeling

#3 - Over torqued lugs caused warp. I had a shop switch wheels and tires for me (long story). I saw them go around with a torque wrench at the end, but don't know if they used air impact first. It was a quick click of the wrench and on to the next lug. I removed wheels to clean wheel well a few weeks later and the lugs were FUCKING TIGHT.

#4 - Out of spec from EBC factory

I'm guessing either 2 or 3, but really the reason is irrelevant.

Trying to figure what to do. On car lathe, switch back to old OEM rotors, remove/reinstall existing? Any help/advice is much appreciated. Kinda bummed.
