Default My "Build" thread

Well today I decided I was going to start putting some money into my truck. (Im not doing anything in depth, no engine rebuilds or anything like that just some modifications, Hubs lift tires etc.) so on day one of my build I changed the breaks because they were squeaking pretty bad.

Fix your wheel before it falls off and hurts someone.

Spray the others now with penetrating oil so the other day they may come out easier.
