99% of time squeaky brakes are cause of brake dust trapped inside the drums .
Also lack of lube on backing plate.

I'm in for a run. Depending on the date.
With my really noisy pinion bearing and squeaky brakes.

And I got my steel tail light housings from one of my customers. Molded after the ones I gave Ocho, without the side markers so I can run a different light there instead (2 round marker lights instead of the 1 rectangular marker). These are rough housings and will need some modifications to make them sit flush, as they are just a basic box design with no curves or mounting holes drilled in the tabs. They are bare steel now, thinking of painting them the same color as my XJ. I will post up pics later once I get them cleaned up.

I'm in the no rear brakes club. one of the cylinders finally gave out on the d35 so I just capped off the lines... It will be way less economical to rebuild those brakes than to do an 8.8 swap so I am just holding off.. at least my rotors and pads only have a few hundred miles on them haha.


anyone down to wheel on monday? I wanna get out and do a trail

Or even tomorrow but it would have to be in the evening

Well California has been fun so far and i still have about a week or so left here. no wheeling yet for me. I blew my rear main and now ive been stranded at the house for the last week waiting for a friend to bring me parts. but hopefully tonight she will be back on the road and can get some wheeling done up in the mountians.
