Nice.
Here are the pics
Rotor...
Caliper...
Originally, I thought I had a caliper in the front that was dragging, and I think I still do. So, ended up doing the NNBS brake upgrade while I was at it. But, turns out it was the one in the rear. Never did the idiot check on the brakes so partly my fault...still need to do the parking brake, but I’ll get a better look next week.

I've never seen a rotor like that in person, but I've seen pics of the exact damage before. Those lines or bars are the cooling fins that are sandwiched between the rotor surfaces. Is the remaining rotor surface really thin?Here are the pics

Very thin, in my opinion anyways! I thought I might have gotten a newly used rotor. I’ll get more when I get off from work. I was able to change it while on a long break. The other I might be able to take care of tomorrow before going to work.

Do you think that caliper was hanging up? Looks like the inner was rely dragging. Outer pad still have a little meat left? If so, that's what I think it might've been.
Holy shit that’s crazy!Here are the pics

At least you have the nnbs upgrade now. Can't beat that!
Even more crazy then that, I drove to and from work that way. Didn’t have much of a choice...

Absolutely! I’ll get a better feel of them after I leave but I’m thinking I’ll wish I had done the upgrade a whole lot sooner!

That’s just sick, have never seen one separate even while trying to remove one. Consider yourself very lucky that neither yourself or anybody else got hurt. The Good Lord was watching out for you that day.

Went to dinner last night and my lady friend noticed a terrible clunk when starting from a stop and transitioning from forward to reverse. Not sure if it's been there for a while and I hadn't noticed or just started but I was pretty worried it sounded like a control arm lost its bushing or something terrible happened to the rear axle (G80 still scares me). Turns out it was just a pesky little end link bushing. I'm pretty sure I replaced them when I got the truck so I must have over torqued it on the driverside. I thought that was gonna be an excuse to get a Hellwig front bar but I had bushings in stock.
