Not much, between the heat and the rain, been hard to get anything done up here. Did manage to strip out my carpet and start prepping for Raptor liner and I did get my new rear bumper on. I have to do the front bumper, lift etc. it's a big project.

All 4 control arms on the 93 are shot. Time to order some new ones. (70 for all 4)

Good morning fellas
ran into an issue yesterday replacing the calipers, rotors, and pads on the Comanche...
1st I installed the calipers wrong so I did them the right way
2nd the washers provided didn’t want to sit correctly on the caliper but finally got it not to leak
3rd the main issue-
went to bleed the brakes because I know when swapping caliper gotta do it to get the air out
tried for an easy 3 hours to finally get fluid out with no air when I finally got to press the brake pedal (had pops pressing the brakes) there’s no pedal pressure and when I checked the pistons of the calipers they haven’t moved
do I keep bleeding the brakes until I have pedal pressure?

Is the fluid leaving the master any or staying put? And did you bypass the OEM prop valve?

but it’s still kind of iffy because when I do it again there’s no fluid again
theb there’s moments where the fluid doesn’t lower in brake fluid reservoirwhen pressing the pedal

Has the master cyl been replaced or just a junkyard swap?
