Once my next paycheck hits this week, I'll be buying the rotors, calipers and new pads.

Then all that is left is the perches, plates, and u-bolts (next week).

Maybe this weekend I'll get the locker, shafts, & brakes in? Boy tha'd be nice, then I'd be mostly done!

Shafts showed up today....hopefully the locker does too here this week.

nice

Locker won't be here until mid next week I found out, so there is no point in buying the calipers and rotors this weekend since I can't install them until the locker is in.

BUT I'm gonna pick up new c-clips, a new roll pin bolt (I stripped the last one) and new studs to press into the new shafts (oooo that will be fun ).

And maybe I'll get my idler arm finished and my sliders bent back straight this weekend.

How are you liking your km2's? So far they're great on my diesel, just wondering how they are on a smaller (i.e. much lighter) rig.

Love 'em. Haven't aired them down yet, but even without doing so they are a huge improvement over the AT's. I have high hopes for letting some air out. They aren't to loud either and don't show any signs of wear with 4k miles. They have serious bite.

km2's are still one of the options i'm looking at...

those, mud countrys, mtr's w/ kevlar..

i've had them at 5 p.s.i. jumping and driving like a mad man out on the sand dunes in my km2's they can handle it all.

They are awesome performing and awesome looking tires IMHO.

Got some new rotors on today. Also pressed the 10 new studs into the new Yukon axleshafts (what a PITA!). Ordered a new cross shaft retaining bolt, and c-clips (old ones looked hammered). Will pick up some calipers this weekend. Locker will get installed next week, and the week following I'll get the perches and plates. Almost. There.

Dad got him some RuffStuff plates and U-bolts today for his D44 (wow dual thread goin' on here....nice!). He also got the backing plate adapters, spindles, bearings, lock-outs, rotors and calipers back on. Still waiting on hi-steer arms and TRE's.

Sounds painful, I can only imagine sorry I mean . I can't tell you how many times I have moved that pig by my self and two pipe-stands. Pinched my fingers a few times, and I have had a sore back from it too. Finally I put it on a furniture dolly and all is better now

Back when it was just a bare housing with no backing plates or anything on it, it was plenty light enough to just sling up on my shoulder, and I could move it easily, but now it is a different story with all the brakes, shafts, and carrier back in.
