Command Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Put on new rotors and brake pads all around. Did not realize how expensive pads are for these rigs lol. Bedlined my rims and noticed that canadian tire sells Plastidip, so I grabbed a can of that to play with :) Before After Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoastcam Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks for the offer Jamie... I got lucky, I thought the bolt had snapped flush with the mounting bracket, but the bracket had sprung out a bolts width, so I was able to push the bracket back in and put a bolt on it to shore it up. I can deal with bolt removal another time :) I'm hoping a weld on the bolt might be enough to get it out. That'll learn me to work on the X the night before a run :very_frustrated: Cool :)! I removed my rear bar pin eliminator that broke at the Poker Run and put a pin in it to remount the shock. What a pain in the ***! But it is done :)!
