Just realized I'm getting my pay tonight with the OT from a while back. Almost 3k. Going to be a nice chunk on the credit line.

Did a brake job on my rear axles last night. Went pretty smoothly. Wish I would have taken one more pic when the first one was complete. Oh well. I installed new pads and rotors. Replaced the caliper guide pins as well. The boots (for the guide pins) were in decent shape so I didn't get new ones. I just had to clean the caliper mount. Used a wire brush on the body and brake cleaner in the guide pin holes. Put some grease on the guide pins and pushed them in. I made sure to move them to make sure it was moving without issues. The old ones did not move that well. This led to the premature wear you see on the old pad. The other side had plenty of pad left. But you should always do them in pairs. Front or rear. I used the clips that came with the pads.

It had been over 2 1/2 years since I last did the rear brakes. It first started out with noise as I was backing out in the morning. I had vowed to check them but never did. Then, I felt it gripping at low speeds. I felt that this was the rear brakes due to my experience. This week it started grinding. I figured the pads had worn down and steel was rubbing on the rotors. Yup.

I keep looking at EVs even thought I can't afford one, and just realized that they sell strip down etransit which is 10k cheaper than the F150 lightning.

Add a deck and you got a full EV long box flatbed truck. Either that or make it into a motorhome. Could in theory sell the house and live on my property, and live in this when I have to work. Winter is the biggest issue though, since can't get to/from the property. I could plow the road but that may piss off snowmobilers as it turns into a skidoo trail in winter.

Just dreaming at this point though, I think my newly diagnosed foot condition might actually put a wrench into off grid living.
