Hopefully when I am done... it won't fall apart.

Front Brakes, a couple longer skid plate bolts, cell phone mount, tablet mount, re-install Trigger shield, new rear fabric panel, rear mud flaps, etc....

Brakes are done… YouTube can teach you just about anything. I am fairly certain, I could've got at least one more stop out of these.

Those must have made one hell of a racket!

Actually no.... It was a squeaking sound. No rotor damage. I had a 2nd person look them over. 🤷‍♀️

The squealing sound comes from those metal tabs that are perpendicular to the pad. They are wear indicators and will make a squealing sound when the pads are close to wearing out.

What was your lead time. I feel like mine was about a month.

Talked with Ryan today… not likely to arrive before I leave… trying to see if I can ship to @TripleB for a later install… options for a wench install?!?!

Yep.. I know that.. now. Been squeaking for a little bit. 😆

They will also squeal if they are run thru water and allowed to get a coating of rust on the rotors. That type of squeal will typically stop after a couple of brake applications.

Plenty of winches around, I wouldn’t sweat it.

Troof but I also don’t want it sitting on my front porch or middle of the driveway for 5 days either

They are worth the wait those bumpers are sweet and heavy duty.

Maybe!

Who is our brake guru? I replaced my pads and the front didn't look like they had ever touched the rotor. The rear pads were gone. If it were a car or truck I would say bad master cylinder. Any ideas?

Could be air in the front brake line interfearing with piston pressure, could also less likely be a pinched brake line to front preventing fluid to flow.

I would pull the front calipers off, have some one press on the brake pedal and see if they collapse off the rotors.

Thanks Jackal. I'll try that tomorrow when the rain and tornadoes have passed.
