Digital footprints don't lie

We are currently in conversations re TW suspensions for tampering.

 

I am sensing revolt here

 

ooooh.... Good idea

 

What's up with this pad wear? Replaced at the same time not that long ago

 

Slide pins probably sticking

 

Either one of the pistons is stuck or you got some cheap china pads? How many KMs since you changed?

Put a spring at the bottom as well, I have top and bottom springs on Yotas with this style of caliper.

and grease the pins religiously, mine come out easy with a light touch. That’s how greasy they are.

 

They're brand name. Less than 20k. Probably closer to 15. 3 are almost full. Springs have broken. Pins didn't seem like an issue but I put some anti-seize for now.

That said, I'm in the market for new rotors and anyone who would like to donate a single, lonely brake pad could end up being a friend.

 

Make sure the red area and pins are cleaned with a wire wheel and the pads move in and out of the caliper freely. I use slide lube on the end of the pads. Anti-seize will wash away.

 

For the rotors I can only recommend OEM, they are not far off from aftermarket price wise and last 100K+ kms easy, I am on the 2nd set and still got plenty of life and mind you they used to stop 37s.

for the brake pads akebono or advics are the only brands I install on my trucks.
Having two springs also helps a bit


And cleaning after each wheeling trip, I used to remove brake pads and clean mud and dirt and lube everything

 

Now that CT Motorsports are closed, what are people doing for re-gearing their diffs?

 

Blame the ADS race shocks. Your truck now chews through parts every weekend like a race truck. Better get an energy drink sponsorship

Broken spreader clip probably contributed to the abnormal pad wear.

I have half-worn OEM pads to donate, but you can probably buy new pads in the time it takes for you to get mine.

So... What you're saying is that I need 35s?

 

^35s on 17" wheels and larger brake upgrade

 

I just had some issues and it ended up being 1 seized caliper piston. not that that is the problem hear but If your going to change pads check them individually

 

believe @CaygeonRunner just had some diffs shipped through east coast gear supply. I don't have any personal experience with any other shops other then CT.

So it'll be stolen come 11:45pm tonite
