Think I was Past Due for Rear Brakes

[Max]

Felt something start to drag a few days ago

New Stuff (just snowed here so the truck is filthy)

I have slightly better pedal feel with the new rotors and hawk pads too. Contemplated rear powerslot rotors but we didn't have any in stock so I dropped a whopping $60 on the pair of napa premiums. Oh and my new wheels should be at the powdercoater by the end of the month

New wheels? Will you be looking to unload the current deuces?

 

[Max]

Naw I'm putting hakkapeliita snows on the current wheels. Either these or blizzaks

AWD + Snows + Blower should be lots of fun.

 

[rockymt21]

Word, are the wheels being pc'd the nnbs chrome ones? I don't remember where I saw a pic, but I did.

 

[Max]

Nope it's a surprise. I think they'll be two colors. Sticking with 20s.

Can't wait to see the surprise....two colors?? They should be black on black to keep the look you got going.

 

[Max]

They'll be two shades of black or gloss black and another color. If I do the other color I'll be getting a pinstripe to match, found an old boy who does amazing work on hotrods to dial up the pinstripe and tailgate design.

Max, Are your current wheels NNBS Silvy 20" wheels?

 

[Max]

Yep used to look like this

I need to get on some snow tires PRONTO... My Tahoe was scarier than shit in this ice storm with the 24's on summer tires. It was like trying to steer a cruise ship through the Panama Canal during a Tsunami.

These nittos are pretty good on ice, doubt they'll fair well in 3"+ accumulation tho. Decided the wheels would look goofy in two colors so I'm going gloss black, pics to come as soon as they're out of the powdercoater.

 

[BlizzardX23]

I dont get it...your breaks are fine...they still have 1/4 of pad left over...

 

[Max]

Except for the 3/8" or so worn off the outside of the rotor.

Max, Since those rims have the TPMS does that stay on or do you take it off? How much can you usually get a set of 20's for?

 

[Max]

The tpms are just valve stems that go into any wheel. Patience will allow you to pick up a set for around $500-$800, I lifted that customer's truck and he gave them to me for a very, very good price.

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

I wouldve never guessed those were painted silvy wheels. They look awesome painted black like that. They should start paintin wheels black from the factory.

I picked up a set of 20" Silverado SS Alloy wheels for $200 for the set

Deal of the century

[Max]

I can't wait to curb them while drifting like a *******.
