What have you done to your ride lately?

[SamSter0077]

Could have been alot worse

Yeah, lost brakes while backing down a hill into a tree..

Well I ran it into a fence about 3 seconds after I foundd out that my brakes don't brake no more.

Damn, not a good start to a Friday

where is that BrianR smilie when I need it!

I'm just glad it happened going down a driveway instead of the highway. I could either hit a wire fence or a pipe gate... I chose the wire. No damage to the truck other than a few minor scratches on the front of the hood. I took off work this afternoon so I could figure out what's wrong with the brakes. And I have to fix my uncle's fence tomorrow :/

Have you checked your wheel bearings?

 

[balakay]

Not since I bought it over a year and a half ago. I don't think it's the bearings though. There was no pressure at all when I hit the pedal. It just went straight to the floor. Afterward I made sure it had fluid and all that good stuff and tried pumping the brakes to get some pressure but nothing.

Just put 2 pairs of 5" greasable shackels and 2 pair of 1.25" spaces on order. Gonna see if I can shoe-horn the 36's under Clyde before I do a leaf spring upgrade. Probably have to do some

to my wheelwells.

Just put the tires on there. And let them "self clearance"

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me.

Did the TPMS light mod. Worked like a charm! If I was keeping the truck I would have installed a toggle switch so I could enable/disable the system, but I didn't feel like going to all the trouble on someone else's truck.

Also removed my CB and stereo and replaced them with the stock unit.

Tomorrow we do the tires.

Cleaned the pass side interior of my truck. Picking up a cute girl tomorrow....I don't think she would have been impressed with all the dirt, dust, mud, and random crap on the inside of the truck from the past wheeling trip.

Rotated the tires today, and had the ruck fall off the hi-lift. Luckily the tires were on. Good times.

 

[cmack]

Oh I also got my Fabtech/Fagtech lightbar in yesterday.....now if only I had the brackets to mount them...those should get here early next week.

Looks great man.

Thanks! Now I just need to get some front brake lines ordered. I have new rear lines that will go on today - I didn't have the correct tools for them on Saturday.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Why do you need front brake lines?
