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.

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.

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.)

Anyway, clean those hub mating surfaces next time you do that job, otherwise, looks good, providing you lubed the sliding surfaces.

Ok kinda forgot about this and then I saw 2mAn bothering someone elsewhere about trucks being what r3v's about now so I figured it was a good time for an update.
Chronologically...
Went to the race track to watch some drag racing. Trucks are the best for this because I could sit and roast in the sun in the bed all day and be comfortable.
Next, half my exhaust fell off.
My parents visited and I was their tour guide through Yellowstone.
My heater hoses sprung a big leak so I changed that out in the parking lot. Last parking lot repair for me. I'm moving up in the world. Youtube video about that repair if you care. Don't forget to subscribe there.

Defending my PhD, became a Dr (of Biochemistry), packed up my belongings and moved to Washington. Hit a gnarly storm in Idaho that I needed to tarp my stuff up for.
Moved into a nice house with a two car garage. I think the truck fits but its a tight squeeze and I haven't tried yet. The e30 sleeps inside.
The neighborhood has a wide range of interesting vehicles. Here is only a snippet.
And a celebratory cleaning job on the truck. Please recommend your favorite detailing items.
And if you made it this far, how about a final glamour shot of the truck in Montana along the Yellowstone River with the Crazies Mountain range in the background (with bonus train).

Also, being a Dodge Im guessing you just left the exhaust off so you can show off your HEMI power?
Luckily for me that section was post muffler so there was no noise change in losing it.
