I'm trying to go but I've got some big problems going on up front do to my piss poor attitude towards maintenance. My brakes which have been going bad for a while now finally gave up this morning on my way to work this morning. So after having my friend from work tow it home I'm now left with a broke truck won't know how bad till tomorrow night when I get home from work and start on the tear down. If I can't make the run I will PayPal the money for the shirts I ordered to whomever I need to but I'm hoping that I Didn't do to much damage and ill be able to still attend. Ill update tomorrow and let you know if ill be there

Definitely keep us updated, I did that once to the point where my pistons fell out of my calipers because they were able to extend all the way out because the brake pads were gone. The good ol days when i was young and broke

Thanks Bklyn I'm hoping when I get in there tonight if its what I'm thinkin that what happened was the brake pads got so worn on the passenger side that they just kinda fell out of place and if that's the case then it will be a fairly inexpensive fix as I already have the pads and rotors. I not then I'm lookin at a new caliper which still won't be that bad but then you figure in wheel bearings all the seals and this could be an expensive job good news is ill be saving money on labor by doin it myself bad news is I'm not the most mechanically inclined lol.

I was just at Rausch on the 30th and ran blue trails with just a 3" SL, no skids, and didnt have any problems.

They did ask that nobody head out to the west property as getting back up the power line trail provide extremely difficult because of the ice on the trails. not sure if it has melted off yet......

[Bklyn.X]

I hope it melted, not getting on the west would suck.

Ok so the way its looking a may still be able to attend. It didnt do near as much damage as I thought but it did do alot. Turns out the caliper must have failed a while ago and what I was thinking was was just rust coming off the pads actually turned out to be the caliper overheating and and throwing molten dust out on the wheel. So I already have the pads and rotors and just went and picked up a new semi loaded caliper and new wheel seals. As long as everything goes back together ok tonight we will be there but I wont know till later tonight when I get back out to work on it.
