    Instant Big Brake Kit - Sort of? Baer Big Claw Brakes

    Better heat dissipation which assists in minimizing brake fade. It’s only half the equation though. I’m not saying it won’t help some, but upgrading calipers as well is the right way to do it. It’s just much more expensive.

    Instant Big Brake Kit - Sort of? Baer Big Claw Brakes

    It’s not always about speed. I installed a Vanco Big Brake Kit from Black Magic Brakes on my 05 LJ. The stock brakes were ok when the Jeep was stock, but you add 35-37” tires, heavy bumpers, a lift, winch, tube fenders, etc., etc., then the Jeep gets heavy. The stock brakes were struggling to...

    PowerStop - $685 for all four (rotors and pads). Baer - $1642 for all four (rotors and pads). That’s a pretty big price difference.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Probably an HOA (i.e. neighborhood anti-christ) says he can’t have one. Or, just doesn’t have a use for one.

    2/4 or 3/5 lowering kit?! I can’t decide.

    2/4 Actually, mine is not a kit, so I don’t really know the exact drop. All four points are adjustable. I’m probably somewhere between 2/4 and 3/5. I’m sitting at 33.5” from fender to ground on all four. Check the suspension section. There are quite a few drop threads there. Here are a...

    I found a new reason to hate the passenger screen....

    Yikes. Wonder if someone makes a matte screen protector for it. That might eliminate that…….maybe.

    Lowered 5th gens?

    The UCAs correct camber so your truck can be aligned properly. I would not recommend skipping these.

    Road Spray? Help

    I’d take it to a professional paint shop and get their opinion/suggestions. Many years ago my Dad got something on his car that almost looked like a concrete mist. We could not get it to come off at all. We took it to a paint shop and they had a power washer that had high water pressure, not...

    What tires are you running with 22” wheels

    A lot of members here run the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. It seems to be a very popular tire for our trucks. This is the tire I’ll be going with when my current ones need replacement, which is very soon.

    Water spots specifically on the plastic trim parts....

    I’ve never used it on those surfaces, but a clay bar works miracles on removing water spots on paint and glass. Might be worth a shot to try just a small piece. That surface may be too rough though. I treat tires and plastic trim with this, and it works great.

    Heater core removal

    How in the hell are heater cores going bad in 4-5 years? This should be a 15-20 year part. I’m guessing inferior crap Chinese junk parts?
