Look What I did to the truck
This will be an on going thread for my truck. As I do things I'll post it up for ya's to see. Sounds like a good idea to me. Won't be no major stuff I need to fix my stang.

Well it was a busy day. I was planing on sitting the truck up on 4 jack stands and doing all the painting at once. That didn't happen. I couldn't find our other set of stands and I was having jacking problems. I seen someone on here do this a few weeks ago and it gave me an idea. I needed new brakes so why not paint up stuff while I'm at it. After getting the rears off I found that the rear brakes are fine they got tons of pad left. Good news i guess Even though I bought a new set. Guess I'll be ready when they go. Didn't get to the fronts today so that will be tomorrow. I know they need changed they grind even when I'm not on the brakes [:@]. Was also planing on welding up the brackets to hold my rear fog lights up. I got a set of fog/driving lights what ever you wanna call them to mount on my hitch. I'm gonna use them for extra backup lights and for rear lighting if its ever needed. I've had them for like 3 years lol and nowI can't find them.

DONE:

And for those that don't know heres what all this stuff is being done too.

Just curious : how long have you had those Definity tires and how do you like them ? I was thinking about the Definity AT or HT but have not been able to find anyone that has any good or bad experiences with them. Any info appreciated.

RE: Look What I did to the truck
well today went BAD. I got the front wheels off and could the inner pads were shot. The pass side was down to metal and was digging into the rotor. The driver side was damn close. For some damn reason Dodge decided to use different bolts on the fronts brakes then the rear ********. So I had to have different tools. Well the caliper bracket bolts wouldn't budge. After that I said screw it and gave up for the day. It was hot out and I had a headache so I'll go back at it tomorrow with the impact gun
