    Today I shaved the cast iron bar on my brake calipers to fit my American Racing AR 23's.

    The rear wheels are installed but i need to do one last quick shave tomorrow for good measure but here it is!

    I removed the Wheel!
    [​IMG]

    I ground the Caliper
    I spent all day shaving yesterday using the wrong dremel bits... I recommend the Tungsten Carbide Cutter - Just wear gloves and a mask and goggles. Metal Slivers SUCK!!!!

    Here is the wheel before I get the tire mounted tomorrow

    Yesterday I installed my CB 4" antenna finally - and i decided to repaint my grill from midnight black to gloss black whole i was at it.

    I used my tie-down cleat as a mounting unit until i build a bracket bar. Then I ran the 20' cable from the CB Radio through the firewall --> Under the truck --> through the gap between cabin and bed and connected the antenna (not pictured)

    Then I removed my emblems and taped everything off - painted and reinstalled.

    I'm having my dynomax super turbo welded on Saturday. I'm not going to do a full exhaust system though. I'm happy w the headers and I'm sure the muffler will make it sound exactly how I want in to. I'm saving my money anyways for December. Keep your eyes peeled hehe

    Thanks bro, Stupid Hurts really hooked me up on them. i still have my spare that i need to get mounted in december when i upgrade to 33"s oops. spoiler haha. but yeah i have had no problems with my brakes since then - the only downside is the amount of time and the amount of metal you get stuck in your skin. and let me tell you it fucking hurts.

    Today i finally took my procrastinating ass over to WEST COAST MUFFLER in concord and had my Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler welded on. The guy even replaced all my pipes with new clean ass non-rusted pipes and even chopped it over the axle for me.
