I think she lives down the road from me.

I only had time last night to do the driver's side brakes. It was worn down to the metal on the brake pad on the back side. I will be changing the other side tomorrow when I have time. If it is the piston that is bad is it just replacing the entire caliper unit or is there something else?

I'm having an issue with my '10 JK where the rear driver brake is rubbing all the time. I was thinking it might just be that I need to replace my brakes but I wanted to see if there was anything else I should look for. Could my brake piston be bad if the brakes work as normal other than them rubbing? I did take the wheel off to confirm it was the breke pad and not the shield rubbing something. Any help is appreciated.

Figured some people here might be interested.

It does depend on the manufacture. I have found that Poison Spyder has an 'ok' price on the JK parts. Here is a rear bumper from them and it's $519 on their site.

I was thinking of using this guys plans and building a trailer for myself.

I have the Old Man EMU Lift but don't have new control arms. I love it so far and have netted around 3.5" lift on what is sold as a 2" lift.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It has settled 1/2" since it was put on.

My wife just realized that we have the March for Dimes walk that day so I may not be there. If I do come it will be later.

I plan on coming with the wife and kid. My in-laws might stop by because they are going to the park that day but don't plan on eating. I will bring spinach dip with bread and veggies.

Done

Go Rubi, if I did it again I would go Rubi. Also to build up a JK you are looking at some expense, parts are normally 2x what hey are for a TJ.

I just got a set of General Grabber AT2 from Tire Rack. I love them so far and are very quiet. My understanding is if you call up NTB and say you see the tire on Tire Rack for x price they will get it for you and then mount and balance for their price. Don't know if that helps.

So I just upgraded my Jeep with fantasy football and bonus money.

Semi-final product, I still have a tire carrier that is on it's way. Wheels are ATX Artillery, tires are General Grabber AT2, front bumper is Poison Spyder Brawler and did the IPF head light H4 upgrade.

Well with that said does anyone here have a wholesale account and can pick up wheels and tires for me and I can throw them some cash?

Someone told me that you use to be able to go there and pick up wheel/tires from the warehouse but couldn't confirm they still let you. Does anyone know if you still can do that and if so do you just call the 800 number or the local number?

Just saw this one on the same site. Thoughts?

I'm looking at getting the Old Man EMU lift for my JK and here are 2 that I was looking at. I wanted to see peoples opinion as well as for the package if I 'need' to get any of the additions. I was also thinking while doing it I would get sway bar disconnects, is there anything else I should think about for the suspension?
