The brakes have about 30 miles on them

There is zero noise and everything I have read says that there is less dust than stock. I am inclined to believe that as my prior experience with Hawk pads was the same. I will definitely report back on that after my upcoming trip on their performance. I will be towing a tractor ~ 400 miles. The entire trip will give me pretty close to 1000 miles on the new brake setup.

So far though just the improvement in stopping power and distance has been well worth it (unloaded, obviously).

Hauled a 2000# tractor on a 2000# trailer with about another 1500# of stuff about 450 miles. The brakes were great. Definitely up to the task and I didn't feel nervous the couple times I had to brake to avoid idiots. Very strong performance. They are pretty low dust too, I didn't have super clean wheels to start with, but overall I think they are less dusty.

Camera is still a WIP though.

 

here is a pic of what i did for reverse fog lights. I hooked them up to a switch rather than the reverse lights themselves so i don't blind people in the parking lot at school during the night time

 

Mine will be switchable. I can see not wanting them on all the time. I put LED bulbs in and that is already much brighter.

 

truee gotta pick me up a pair of LED's for these reverse lights, bright, but i like obnoxiously bright

 

did u put LEDs in ur actual tail lights for reverse? I need some extra light since im runnin 5% tint.

I envy u for your tow mirrors. i want them! lol

 

Yup. I bought the reverse light tail light bulbs from Recon. easy 10 minute swap for both sides. Definitely was an improvement over stock and it looks A LOT better. I am going to put LED bulbs in the puddle lights and high mount as well. I'll eventually get them in the brake lights /w a load inducer, but a little at a time.

Tow mirrors are definitely worth it! They don't cost a whole lot (<$325 installed if ordered from Tasca) and are a really easy install. I took a couple hours to do mine but that was with me taking off a few bolts, going inside, soldering a wire, going inside, etc. Probably could have been less than 45 minutes if you go straight through and have everything ready before hand.

 

think u can send the bulb part numbers my way? ive got some recon stuff on mine already, including the bed lights, and i want to do the inside and outside with some leds. at least the reverse lights to give me some extra brightness. its kinda hard to back up to a trailer at night when i cant really see

 

Here is what I ordered, they have several different ones that would probably work.
