hey everyone i know its been awhile but finally did somemore work to the truck. im in the process of changing the ball joints, tie rods, axle u-joints, streeing stabilizer, and the pitman arm. i was gonna do all my brake pads, rotors, and calipers in the fall but found out my front pads were alil bad and the driver rotor is all messed up i had to beat it with a hammer to get it off. so im gonna change the front brakes now while i have it all apart.
