Powerstop Z36 all the way around. Was a planned upgrade, just not yet, but the front drivers was grinding, so had to happen now. Amazon shipped 3 front and 1 rear rotors, but they made it right. Did the break-in procedure, but felt it should be better, so did it again 2 days later, a little more aggressively, and now they're more like what I expected. Also flushed out the fluid with new dot 4. Old fluid was dirty, but not excessively so, but now I know when it's due again. Also adjusted the parking brakes while I was in there and now the pedal only goes halfway down instead of all the way to the floor.
Did the v6 fan upgrade a few weeks ago. Happy with it.

How many miles on your brake fluid when you did the flush? Dealer is trying to tell me to have them flush it and I’m at 20k miles

Insurance paid for the damage the other day. I've already purchased a grille guard I was looking at and I am looking at an aftermarket rear bumper.

Looking for a front lower bumper but send me a pic
Installed the bed lights. I have ramboxs so it was a little different but same concept as all others. Thank goodness the lights and bedrug hide them cuts cause man it ain't pretty. Ol you tube Jack's Garage and Boosted Motorsports helped out.

Could use it as a front bumper if you run your setup similar to thisWow.
That's a weird looking front bumper.
50k miles and four years on my 2018. It’s super simple to do the old fashioned way. Get the wife/SO/teenager to pump the brakes as you open and close the caliper bleed fittings. Takes maybe 30 minutes, little messy and a $10 quart of DOT3 fluid.

Miles are only part of the equation. a 2017 and living in the high humidity of FL., you're over due! It's cheaper in the long run to stay ahead of it.

Honestly no idea. I do know tho that the fluid gets dirty pretty fast in these trucks. I intend to flush it again in about 2 years, which will probably be around 20k miles, so they may be right about it being due for a flush. But it’s not a job that’s worth paying for if you’re physically able to do it yourself, imo. You’ll pay $100 for labor on top of the materials. I did the “one man brake job” with the a hose submerged in clean fluid in a soda bottle. Super easy.
Took of the rebel/warlock bumper to remove the Vinyl wrap and put it up for sale so I can start on a Homemade tube bumper.
