Did the rear brakes today. All was going well untill one of the wheel cylinders started leaking. So I had an extra trip to the parts store. Murphy got me good this time!

Everything is back together and functioning. Just need a bit more mechaical adjustment so the e brake works right!

If you do it next weekend, I might actually be able to take you up on that offer... I will probably be going to longview again on tire business, so i could just keep heading west... what's another 250 miles anyway?

I was thinking flush against the trailer hitch, but I would have to relocate the trailer wiring harness, which is welded to the hitch.



Oh and a few days ago somebody's propane tank exploded in their double wide...Thats me standing in the trailer NEXT to the one that exploded..Only the foundation was left from the other one
I love the stance of your truck.

Nice gate.
Shoulda got another cable while you were at it.

I wish my truck matched. Not all my paint matches; some is original, other is repainted Flame Red.

There were two BRAND NEW cables attached to another tailgate in the yard, and I could've stuck em on mine and not paid a penny more, but I didn't have my tools And my junkin' buddy didn't have torx heads.
