Job went well. I managed to take some pics but my phone died =/

Drums were severely warped, shoes were down to the rivets, This was most defiantly the cause for my wobble while braking.

Front equipment wasn't really all that bad, calipers were in fair condition, still had 50% left on pads, rotors were slightly gouged but nothing serious.

Still replaced everything regardless. All new hoses, and drum spring hardware.

Also completely flushed the system with DOT3, and as per the advice I applied anti-seize to the bleeder screws.

Truck stops on a dime now and feels so much more easy to control on the highway $440 , 3 beers, and an afternoon well spent.
