    Nicely done. Send it!

    I recently did the rear rotors and pads on my wife's 2013 Ford Escape. How could an 8 year old car possibly be so rusty? (Nevermind.)

    Little video about the brake change. Did I do them to the dealership standard? Probably not. Have there been any problems in about 700 miles of driving? No. Job complete in my mind.

    Replacing brake pads and rotors on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 - YouTube

    Finally got the brakes changed on the truck. As you might be able to tell from one of the rears pads, they were overdo and making a bunch of noise. The fronts were probably replaced more recently and could have stayed on but I bought a kit so might as well put all corners on. New pads and rotors all around. Afterwards, I decided to clean up the truck and go take a few beauty shots. I did try to make a little video changing the brakes so maybe when I finally look at it, I might try to put a Youtube video together for it.

    Red Top optimas aren't what they used to be.

    Coins. Please don't rob me. Remember when toll booths actually wanted money and not just laser beam right into your bank account.

    Good thing I'm not adventurous and drive to backcountry places. Anyways, my gf's lightsaber is bigger than mine. This was from a few years ago trying to learn PS haha.

    Hmm the battery probably is fairly old. I need to fix other things too. But hey, r3v thread material!

    You know, the more confusing and harder to service something is, the more likely it is to come back to the manufacturer for work.
