Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Looks like someone shot at my bumper. Lol. Got a bullet size hole

 

Pics?

 

Except maybe this one.

I said "lots" not all.

 

I'm just jealous is all. I probably won't be able to wheel again until late Sep early Oct.

 

I got them off craigslist awhile back for pretty cheap. They’re fantastic little speakers.

 

What kind of rear brake drums and shoes did you guys go with? Opened my drums this weekend, after snapping a stud off while trying to remove the damn wheel, and found maybe an 8th of an inch of shoe remaining.
Bought some of oreillys "brakebest select" for $320 (included both drums and shoe sets as well as new spring hardware). But now I'm 2nd guessing my purchase and may return if there are better options for around the same price?

 

Dam jelly i missed out!
how was the new bypass section?

 

Bypass for the winch hill? Ha! You have to make it 1/2 way up the winch hill before you get the bypass. We ended up turning around since there was a broken Jeep in the middle of the winch hill.

 

Ah yikes, silly jeeps.
If were thinking about the same winch hill then the new section is further to the entrance behind the OG camp spot I think. Haven't seen it in person though just heard about it from some folks

 

This is what I did. Not exactly the answer you're looking for

But as far as shoes go, I went with a set of NAPA shoes. Out of curiosity, why do you think you need new drums?

 

For all thinking about a trip to Slick Rock, note the bridge is gonna be out...

 

Very nice conversion... and good question. I felt the inside of the drum and they have quite a bit of material worn away. Also everytime I take the drum off it is about impossible to remove. I have to stick a flathead screwdriver through the back side and rotate the adjuster about 30 notches before it will pull the shoes together enough to release the drum. Figured it had worn a groove? Didn't inspect it too well but they have about 150k miles on them so I figured I would replace the drums while doing the shoes

 

Pic the bridge last year. Looks like it could use some work!

 

Great, guess the mossberg goes camping with me in 2 weeks. #4 buck and slugs?

 

The runout and material thickness are important. Same with gouging. Mileage is another decent indicator. Sounds like you made a good decision to replace the drums.

 

Some changes coming to the Sequoia and Sierra National Forests. Take a moment to read and respond if you enjoy recreating there.

 

What are some good inexpensive options to carry a spare tire? Need to get this thing out of my bed and the people behind me at stoplights need to know that I have copper scs wheels

Edit: scratch the “inexpensive” part, I get no joy in saving money anymore when it comes to my taco
