Not unless it takes out the truck. I just found this in mine. It's fuse protected so I'm ok. Melted the loom, electrical tape, and part of the wire shielding but not through.

Oh boy, you just got my attention. I have some questions. First, what brand of brake rotors did you use? Second, what brand of tie rod adjusters are on your truck? And last but not least, what are your plans for the stock parts you took off? If you would like to part with those stock spindles, let me know.

Packed the rotor bearings. Fixed the tailgate rattle a few days ago. Cost a wapping 4$ have enough to do probably 100 gates. I used white grease on the trunion works great

Rotors are Stop Tech~~Tie rod adjusters are Western Chassis~~Moog and Mevotech for the rest of it~~Keeping all the take offs for the time being~~~~~

So you just stretched a bike tire slice to fit around? It still fits in the hole? And it doesn't scrunch up when you move it?

That's cool. At least I got some good product photos for the rotors & tie rod adjusters. Thanks for the info.

‘70 stepside, wet sanding clear and getting ready to paint cab. I hope ... it’s hot in Las Vegas. But super fun after 8 months of prep.

Nate I hope you had a big round fan blowing on you while in that heat. I am proud to have a home shop, as hot as it is, but I do remember many a years working up under the big trees out back. We had a bunch of big old pecan trees back then and seems like there was usually a bit of a breeze there.

Soon the hard work pays off

VWNate1 07-28-2018 07:00 PM

STILL Too Hot !
 
No ;

I don't have a fan out side, I should get one but then I'd have to run a cord out side, etc, etc. ~ the last time I forgot the put the cord away one of the dogs ate it, I'm lucky it wasn't electrocuted .

The heat is miserable so this morning I and an old Friend rode bikes up into the mountains for breakfast, it was hot up there too .

I'm trying to add a photo but it's been downloading for over 15 minutes now.....
