I didn't want to just smile and wave when some dickhead in a duramax blew his putrid black shit all over my truck today.

 

Mall crawler!

 

Matt

Put on some Bosch wipers today. The OEM's served me well, lasted for about two years.

Matt

 

I love mine. They only lasted me about two years tho

 

Worked out well in the heavy rain this morning and today...flash flooding going on here as well

I would be ecstatic if they lasted two years. I know you are supposed to replace wipers every ~6 months, although I do not use my wipers as much as most people do. Usually just hit the "one-time" up on the stalk once I can't see at all.

Matt

 

i think i put a set one about a year ago, might replace them soon. best blades ive used so far.

 

Thats how i am. Also, cleaning them with a soapy wet sponge every once in a while helps. Cleaning the windsheild regularly is more important

 

They have been working out well the past day or two.

I clean my windshield well with every wash and then usually use the glass cleaner I have after that. Actually cleaned the inside of the windshield for the first time the other day

Matt

 

how are the brakes? no more squish squish?

 

They are pretty good. I haven't noticed a significant difference in stopping power between the EBC's and when my OEM were working normally. A little disappointing since I got the Stage 5 which is supposedly "race track ready" or some such, but oh well. They still stop the truck so I suppose that's all that matters.

I might just not be able to remember the normal feel of the OEM's, so these might be better or the same. I have noticed that they seem to grab the same as the OEM's when braking lightly or slightly to medium, but they definitely grab better when you have to brake harder I think.

Matt

 

They are a "Super Street" kit. They bite a little harder when you use them harder. They also cool better if you have to go down hills all the time like i do. The fast cooling is also nice for hauling and towing. Not to mention the fact that they won't heat crack anywhere near as easily as the OEM stuffs would

Mine work great compared to my stockers. The guy that had my truck before me must've never tried engine braking. The breaks were a little used for 36600miles. They had maybe 1/3 pad life left but they almost felt glazed and shitty

 

Went to Tasker's Gap in GWNF for my brother's bachelor party. Started off doing some skeet shooting near my house, then drove down to GWNF to offroad with my brother's truck, my truck, my friend's FJC, and two dirt bikes. (125 Yamaha and 300 KTM) Camped overnight, rode the bikes down the trail again this morning, and then headed back.

It was a really good time and was the first time I have gotten to take my truck actually offroading, not just dirt roads, etc. It did really well and I had no problems with it, besides knocking the alignment out of spec. I was planning on getting another alignment here in 2-3 weeks anyway, so it's not a big deal.

Got a good amount of pictures:

Removing the swaybar seems to have helped





And finally home:
