Hey guys, so I went to change the brakes and rotors out on my truck yesterday, and I could not get the front passenger rotor off for the life of me. I tried everything but putting a gear puller to it and the only reason I didn't do that is because I dont have one large enough. What in holy hell does one have to do to get this rotor off?! I've never had a problem on any other brake job quite like this.

Well it's been a few months since we have had a few days of no rain projected and she has been long over due for a cleaning, so she got 6hrs of love on Saturday.

I feel a little ashamed of myself because walking out to her this afternoon with the family one of my sons said to me "Your truck looks weird...being clean."

I hung my head and as I walked around the backside I tapped her on the tailgate and said "I will try to do better..."98772c8bb35ea733d5b726162ba19b75.jpg

Nice! Well, my float rod and reel would freeze solid. Not meant for ice fishing lol. It’s hard to clean eyelets on a 15 foot rod ha ha ha. Anything smaller and a steel head is taking your line and maybe the rod too lol.

Yes the eyelets would definity freeze up on that. I use a 10.5 foot spinning rod for steelhead, not quite into the float setup yet lol. Cant wait for the run this spring! This is from spring of 201700B40738-EE94-492B-A160-A13C6AC98098.jpeg

Well another weekend in the books. It was nice to have the 2017 in 100% shape and looking sharp again. :waytogo:

Just drove both trucks and filled the 2012 with fuel this morning. Can you feel the excitement? :sleepy:

Did you have chrome bumpers before? Did you get them painted or buy pre painted

I had chrome bumpers I didn't want to wrap them or take them apart to powder coat so this was the alternative..... Def a lot easier and more cost effective

I like the look. Unfortunately dont have my paint color and the unpainted version is only 80 or so less than painted. Do they look OEM up close?
