just another static truck in the making

How is it that much dangerous with a regular brake pedal feel? Even with cheap front brakes and NO brake on rear at all on my old b2300 it still braked more than my honda civic which has 4 great brakes to all wheels..

Anyways if you're going to replace everything don't forget to replace brake cylinders in the drums, they all blow up even after 3-4 years. If the brake lines are not corroded IDK why you wanna change them.

Yeeees, keep the emblem. I **** it when people fill the area with filler instead of welding it up.

i'll think about it

Shaving sucks. Keep the emblem...

Is it only your brake pedal thats too soft?? If thats the case.. Don't spend money on buying all new brakes they are NOT the problem.. Start by bleeding every line.. Make sure the vaccuum line is still attached to the brake booster too..

ok i'll think about keeping the emblem. and no I don't think its the pads but I need to replace them soon anyway so going though and re-doing the whole setup will be a good idea. and when I say everything I mean going in and replacing the rotors, brake pads, lines, ect. so I wont have to worry about it for a while and there's no disconnected lines I've check all of them and that's not the problem

Ya I'm going to loose the ford emblem I want to get the filler first , and I'm pretty much shaving the tailgate so there isn't gonna be a handle at all

[dubstance98r/t]

looks good, ditch the ford emblem, burn it, run over it... just lose it....and colour match the tailgate handle, it will almost disapear.... clean ass end..

[Belvader]

thanks dude and no it wasn't pad dust, I haven't driven it since it started though because i'm honestly scared to drive it on the streets as of right now. I keep check the lines but no signs of leaking, or anything like that. so the best thing I know todo is just replace the braking setup overall and hope like hell that does the trick.

[rice4life]

What do you mean your brakes are wearing rapidly?

Is there a lot of brake dust or did you inspect your pads, drove it around some and was able to measure pad loss?

Hope you get it all fixed man.

[Belvader]

oh ya forgot to mention, I took the cf wrap off the ford emblem. I had forgot I even had it on there until I was painting the rollpan and noticed it was still back there so I took it off

[Belvader]

tried on the old cragars again just for sizing up things
there 15x10 all offset, but i'm thinking a 16x10 standard will give me the fitment I want just by looking at how these fit


and it's not painted correctly but I just did what I could with a rattle can and some clear coating

overall i'm pretty satisfied with it right now but it still has a long way to go, I had some saved up for wheels but of course my breaks start weakening VERY rapidly so i'm not driving it until I get it fixed because it's almost dangerous in the state its at. not sure what happened I think it's something in the break lines but I think it's time to go ahead and replace everything because it's probably about time for new rotors and pads too

[Belvader]

I know what you mean, that's why the first time I did subs I did a blow through because I didn't wnt to work with the little space I had, but it gets tiering not being able to drive in the rain

[milano_red]

Yep! Haha, and very little space...

[Belvader]

Haha nice man, I know that had to be a pain in the ass to get all of the speakers in yours wired up cause their was a shit load of them lol

[milano_red]

Nice to know I could motivate you too build a system, I finally got mine 50% wired up and it beats
