Lord, bring your stripe tape, and we'll all put on our fender stripes and be the Dallas Lords.

KRAP. Lame, but I forgot about a previous commitment on the 10th that I can't get out of. It makes me sick, cuz I just bought a new AP exhaust. Would anyone be willing to help me out with it on another day?

I guess not. Sorry. I wonder if we're going to the same wedding. Trust me, it's no toss-up as to where I'd rather be.

Alright guys im thinking about doing a brake upgrade for the install party... Anyone know the whole process of a:

Brake pad change ( Im sure I could do it myself but I dont have the tools... but I slightly remember how to do it, its easy...)

Stainless steel brake lines... (no idea how to do this...)

New brake fluid >>> Bleeding the brakes (Somewhat nervous about this as Jew ran into trouble with bleeding his brakes)

depending on how much my speeding ticket it I might just go ahead and buy all of this stuff considering I glanced at my pads and im pretty sure I need new ones... Think we can get all of this stuff done?

I've done all of that before and it's not too bad. I won't be there though. Things I suggest make sure you get the right size 'brake line wrench' and if not have a good pair of vice grips.

Scott and I just replaced my brake pads........not hard at all. I know Scott has done brake lines so he should be able to answer any questions that you may have for that as well as bleeding the lines...

I am doing my installs this weekend,

- Front and rear sways
- Change out the Trans & diff fluids
- Just got in some black vinyl...going to do the fender stripes and contemplating eyelids.

Awesome, man, thanks! I'll let you know when it comes in. Should be Wed or Thur.

Seatown, where'd you get your vinyl?

Yeah it is pretty cheap....I think the vendor name on ebay was Aloha vinyl or something like that....but for the roll it was $3.99 plus shipping.
