Lame bro, but at least you're replacing the most important safety component on any vehicle. How she stop now ?

Ironically stopping was fine before the fix but fluid was getting everywhere as it seeped out and it was driving me nuts. Stops fine now too which is good.

Seeping and leaking only would've got worse like with anything else. one day you could park in a dirt lot where you cant see the leak and there's no more fluid and down the road you slam on your brakes in an emergency and nothing.

I'm trying you make you feel better lol!!!

@05Single , that does make me feel better lol.

I'll just leave this here......
Surprised at how easy it was to take the whole grille assembly off.

Yeah it's literally 5 minutes on ours once you've done it a couple times.

The second half of the photos to go along with the last update. It was getting dark so I couldn't get good shots of my new grille assembly.

That looks perfect! Awesome decision, the chrome center looks just right on your truck. Looks like you might need to adjust the front corners of your hood up just a bit though. Don't want to have it rubbing on that new grill.

It looks closer in the pics but it actually isn't rubbing. It's all sorts of funky though cuz of my little fender bender. But I love the color though. Thanks red!

So this will be a long post, no apologies cuz I'm pretty happy with my work here. Lol. Pic heavy too! Fun updates! Swapped out my steering wheel for a custom one I did. It's a little rough around the edges, but pretty good for not being a professional painter or anything. So here goes. Light cashmere leather dye from SEM, and blue graphite metallic colored paint from my hydro dip kit, for the wood grips. My leather wrapped wheel was getting a little worn across the top of the grip. It drove me nuts. Started with an esky wheel and transformed it. Also bought an airbag cover from an envoy Denali, with the round Denali logo. I'm happy with the result and it totally transformed my drivers area.

The process of changing an esky wheel into a Denali wheel.


Finished painting the grips.



Masked off to dye the leather.
