Goodies for my truck.

I've been driving around for two months with a blown out strut and since plow day is a week away I figured I better take care of it before the trip. The sway bar links were also broke which is probably from all the bouncing the front end was doing. The truck got new strut's, ball joints, sway bar links, drilled/slotted rotors and brake pads. I just got back from breaking in the pads and rotors and I'm very happy with how it rides and stops.

Too bad all that stuff gets all rusty, are you doing the rears?

Nice work paint man. Wait, body man, wait.......brake and suspension man? I didn’t think your truck was that old yet?

The rear is leaf springs and the shocks seem fine.

Back brakes are good enough for now, I will replace them in a few months.

Doing you own work is fun. Paying for it is not. I'll have to do rotors on my truck soon as well.

doing ones own work is essential to be able to afford to have the work done... I rely on a shop as minimally as possible.... alignment (after I go thru the suspension as needed), machine shop services, etc....

You don't need no stinkin brakes, all they do is slow you down.:biggrin2:
