Anyhow, saving gas money…kinda!

I’ll have $1500 in brakes…a lot of gas!

The difference in braking is quite noticeable! Giant improvement!

The PowerStop products have been an excellent upgrade to the last three vehicles I’ve owned!

2018 PowerWagon

2006 Toyota Tacoma

2000 WS6 TransAm

All have worked flawlessly!96FF9324-45AF-495B-A0C5-ED548B1CCE57.jpeg6D8D7344-93CE-4830-8008-4E283FB743DF.jpeg9C2D5D6A-4BC4-40B0-9506-866D9ECB6A15.jpeg

Z36 package for front and rear!

I also bought their powder coated rotors! Not much more than the factory!

If you live near the “rust belt”, salted roads, consider new caliper brackets! I need a hammer to release the pads!

Back to PowerStop! I’ve always had fantastic luck with them! Noticeable improvement in my car and truck!

I never followed up regarding the “service electronic throttle control”!

I have had no recurrence since the one time after replacing the pedal! All is working well! Have not reconnected the Pedal Commander or Edge Pulsar! I think I’m going to stick to stock!

I also downsized my toyhauler! It’s a Wildwood FSX270RTK! No slides, 30amp instead of 50amp! 2 1/2’ shorter…and a TON more ground clearance! I’ve bent over 3 stabilizers on the Fury as of late!

This one has more clearance then the PowerWagon!

Same Equalizer from the Fury! Might be a little overkill for this, but it towed well through the hills and curvy, country roads! 7.9mpg pulling a few long grades! Just shy of 25 miles!99BE5451-21C1-46DE-BDB4-3F504937E926.jpegF519276B-7553-4BF8-90A9-84E5EDB39CAE.jpeg710B767B-8B96-4449-AA78-C647A0B17043.jpeg5B0B979C-6CBA-4B14-99D7-677DCC454E50.jpeg

I wish winter would end here! She needs a little hose and foam treatment!

I can’t wait to clay bar my new ride and foam and wax it.

I’m not keeping up very well!

Just hit 35,000 miles! Washed it yesterday!

Went to the “local” dealer a few weeks back(31,000miles)! Wanted to make sure I’m up to date with upkeep! I have the MaxCare lifetime warrantee! Don’t want any surprises if I ever need to make a claim!



The PW has been pretty much trouble free! Minimal issues! New accelerator pedal a while back!

Still ecstatic driving it, towing with it and wheeling it!

Goodbye to the Wildwood toyhauler! Hello Grand Design 231RK!

I haven’t made use of the toyhauler!

I’ve decided to upgrade/downsize to a nicer living space! Rear kitchen, front bedroom with separate entrances! Mid bath isolates bedroom from living space! Also, 1000lbs less towing weight! 8.1mpg driving 44 miles home!

I sleep like a baby in it! Apricot(the dog) loves it too!IMG_8995.jpegIMG_8994.jpegIMG_8975.jpegIMG_8982.jpegIMG_8981.jpegIMG_8984.jpeg

Also, oil change, lubed shaft, and rotated my tires!

AND, after 5 years, had to replace the fittings at the top of my airbags! Both sides were leaking at the swivel 90*s! The tech at load lifter recommended a simple straight fitting! Made sense to me!

I probably should’ve paid better attention when washing my truck! The fittings sit in a little detent on top of the bag-mount! Perfect spot to collect mud, grit, even pebbles! Actually took a pocket knife and small screwdriver to clean it up enough fo get a wrench on the fittings!

Sorry about the crappy pic of a new, Stainless fitting and lack of pics of old fittings! No leaks now!
