I hope someone's battery on his phone is charged next weekend!!!

 

Pretty decent race today. Right front tire changer lost Junior about 5 stops on that last stop before the GWC. Ran in the top 5-10 most of the race. Still 30 points ahead of 11th.

 

Who's that?





Just ordered something for the truck.

 

I only watched the last 50 laps or so. Michigan isn't one of my favorites.

I would not be surprised if both Jr and Tony missed the chase with how they're running.

 

Who even that is going to be at the race.

What you getting????

 

I hope they get the address wrong

 

It's a surprise. Y'all will see next week.




Asshat

 

Back to back top 15s to stop his little 6 race slump he had, 3 of those races during his slump he was wrecked by other guys. I aint concerned, he will be alright. As long as he keeps that cushion on 11th he'll be fine. Top 10 most of the day today and he is really good at the next 3 tracks. Doing alot better than he was last season either way. This new team is doing great for it being their first season together.

Smoke needs to fix his attitude, he's been kind of a baby lately.

 

I'm pumped for you Randall! Good luck buddy


Had an interesting turn of events today. A guy I work with at Target (known for 3+ years) will be helping me with my brakes. We were talking about it and he offered to help and his price was reasonable... around 100-150. If it's a bit more I don't care. My dad had no issue since he agreed with a lot of what my dad had said to me in the first place. He was an Autozone in walking distance from his house so if we need anything, we can go there. He is going to walk me through it and then have me do one with guidance from him. He worked at a Landrover dealer for a bit as well Pat... he didn't do nearly as much as you, but he did some various tasks around there.

So I'll be doing front brakes (shooting for a week from Monday) to start. Now the passenger side outer brake pad had less pad than the drivers side and from what I read, it could be a pin in the caliper sticking. If that's the issue, then it looks like cleaning it and re-greasing does the trick, if not, you replace the caliper. He knew all about that. He recommended ceramic pads or semi metallics which I planned on anyways. Just not sure about what rotors to get. My dad made a good point of ordering them locally in case I need to get them again due to an issue. I see Wagner makes a rotor for the trucks and wearever I saw at Advanced Auto Parts as well online. Any suggestions on a OEM style rotor I can get at a local auto parts store for a reasonable price? I'm a 2wd so it's the whole hub set-up that gets replaced. Also, anything special on the 2wd's? I'm going to keep reading, but I read something about replacing a nut when you replace the brakes on a 2wd

 

cool, his price is a little high for a friend price, but glad to hear you arent paying retail for them to be done.

and yes Ford recommends you replace the large hub nut, and it gets torqued to 297 ft lbs

 

I am totaly pooched, we had our company cook out today and I just got home. Everyone had a good time and I did my beer brats with kraut, onions, peppers, burgers and some hot dogs for the kids

 

He does it on the side as a business, so that's why he charges more. I totally understand and respect it.

Now I read there is a spindle nut as well. I have read Jim used Raybesto's rotors... any thoughts on them? I want something I can easily get at a parts store... Rock Auto is where I will probably order from though due to the savings

Sounds yummy! Time to eat myself, burger sliders

 

I did the centric hub conversion. Makes the 2wd like the 4wd and you use 4wd rotors. I like this because you can easily take the rotors off to have them turned when needed.

 

MMMmmmmm beer!!!! Enjoying a cold Shiner 102 and boy does it taste good. I also got 18.28MPG with the truck today all highway.

 

I have Rayasbesto rotors on my truck now. So far I like them....
