Havertown, PA which is right outside of Philadelphia, but I am currently in Delaware. It's nice but the food sucks around here. Cheesesteaks are God awful and the pizza is a close second, but it's the home of tax free shopping.

 

Hah I lived/worked in Pottstown, PA for 7 months.

 

Cool. I lived in Pittsburgh for 26 years. Trying to get back there now.

 

Tackled my front brake job this weekend after getting postponed by life's events for the last 3 weeks. Was quite easy with the FSM and 4Crawler's write up found here in hand.

18. Front brakes squealing (Remove/Replace)

I used Marlin's front bearing kit found here that comes with new gaskets, Koyo bearings and races, and new oil seal. Also went with Centric pads found and Raybestos rotors found .

Nice work! Those warn hubs look nice on there

 

mmm new bearings... Haha. Nice work!

 

Thanks...I'm not really a big fan of them. I plan to get Aisin replacements eventually. Just cant justify it right now with all the other things I need to spend money on for my truck. The Warns are working for now so it will have to wait.

Actually the ones that were in there were in perfect shape. There was no way to know that though so I just ordered replacements. I put the new ones in. I'll probably put these others up on craigslist or something as they are literally in perfect shape.

 

Truck was just stolen an hour ago. I ran down soon as I heard it revving. Got down there just as he was peeling away. Called the cops and they found it abandoned shortly after. They have the dogs out looking for the guy now.

 

Just seen another one was stolen earlier today. Glad to hear you got it back. Hope they catch the guy and hang him.

 

They caught a guy about a mile from my place. Had shaved keys. Took him in on his warrants. Can't charge him with gta because he wasn't caught in or around the truck. I guess the possession of the shaved keys is a crime in itself. That guy was the one I saw on foot. The guy in the truck they were still tracking when I left with my truck.

 

That sucks! Hopefully the truck isn't trashed.

 

Sorry to hear man. I hate people sometimes.

Thankfully you got it back and he didnt have time to tear it up or strip it.

 

man that's no good. any dammage to the truck? maybe rather than putting in a kill switch i'll put in a "kill driver" boobytrap

 

Truck is fine. Lucky I put the call out so soon or else it probably would be scrapped by now. Investing in some theft deterrent today.

 

Dang Man!! Glad you got it back! Always a scary thing to hear about

 

No joke. Scary man. My wife deals with so many vehicle thefts a week it's not even funny. These dudes do a little time, maybe, then get out and do I all over again. Every time.

Glad it was not smashed up or stripped. Guy was probably going to use I to commit other crimes. That's about 95% of the vehicle thefts are used for around here. Them they trash the heck out of them when they are found either burned or wrecked.

 

Pretty sure these two were toyota specialists. Had Shaved Toyota keys. Likely had their eyes set on tearing my truck down and selling the pieces.

 

You are most likely right. Considering that they had those keys for them.

 

Whittling away at my list boys.
