Haven't done much. Just got my Trail Grapplers back on Saturday. Painted the calipers, rear wheel wells and leaf-springs too. I'll be ordering some Cover King Leatherette seat covers soon, too.

The EBC rotors and pads work great, BTW. Saved my ***** a week ago. Some lady was sitting on an exit ramp, wating to cross a state road to a side road. 18 wheeler was coming the opposite direction as me on the state road. Soon as that truck cleared the intersection, she launched it and ended up right in front of me. Locked 'em up and swerved to the left. It was close. If I had my old brakes (which didn't really need to be changed yet) I would have ran her over.

Report on the EBC pads and rotors? I am going to be doing some front end work and was debating on swapping over to those. I am in almost 01 Screw without lift. Happy with ride height, not happy with stopping power. How is the dust an how was install? I read a review that said the EBC pads and rotors didn't fit well but have read quite a few that spoke highly of them.

So far the pads and rotors are working great, even with the 35's. Dust is less than stock, but there is still dust.

I did not install them, but my mechanic did not mention any difficulty.

I think I'm done with my PIAA spots. They look great and are nice and bright, but I've gone through 6 sets of bulbs since September. They have been covered by a 1 year replacement, but that's coming due soon.

I don't typically use them at night either, other than on back roads where I won't normally meet other cars. I use them for rainy days and in the morning or evening. I'd say I'm averaging 10 hrs per bulb.

Last time I replaced them I wore purple nitrile, powder free surgical gloves, just to make sure there were no prints to see it it would help the life. Nope. And the bulbs aren't cheap.

It must be the relay or something, but I don't care. The rock gaurds wore out after removing them twice. I secure them with silicone.

Think I want to go with a Rigid 20" E-Series with a U-mount. Bolt it to my bull bar.

Do it! I've always wanted one just to have mounted and use basically as a fog.. They're like 800 though from rigid..
