Replaced my brake pads two days ago. Powerstop carbon ceramic pads from Rock Auto. My old pads lasted about 20k-ish and were worn a little past halfway and were grinding quite a bit. Quite a hefty 20k so I'm satisfied with the wear. The rotora are still spot on.
Ordered a different light bar for the roof and some amber 6" led units to replace the 6" round HID retrofits on the bumper. They've been just a headache and somewhat unreliable. Goes to show you the QC of inexpensive HIDs.
The new bar is a single row bar with 10w LEDs I stumbled across on Amazon. The outer 3 LEDs are amber and the inner are a cool white. Stated rating at around 15,000 lumens, compared to the rated 18,000 lumens of my current bar. I've got some whistling windnoise that has bothered me so I'm trying this new bar out. I may have a 32" LED bar for sale soon.
The 6" LED bars will have 5w LEDs and be amber. I'm contemplating the mounting location in the upper part of the grill just below the hood line (modifying the grill to fit the LED for an OEM look) , or mount them on the underside of the bumper on either side of the license plate.
Should be delivered tomorrow by end of day. I'll be heading out to big bear at the end of the month for a little wheelin and camping. Trip frequency has really been cut down as I've been saving up for the next chapter in my life. The itch to head out into the mountains/desert is still there but priorities come first. A 180-degree change in career and taking the next big step with the girlfriend are in the works.
Until the next adventure...
