Finally found the little son of a gun that’s been causing all the noise in my front left wheel. It was stuck between the dust cover and the rotor.
Dang. I have had that happen. So annoying. I feel like I am hyper aware of odd sounds and anything like that drives me nuts. Nice work getting it out.

Finished up the mostly brake rebuild on the CJ7 but found out the master cylinder is shot and the calipers are jammed up, was hoping to save them but oh well. Once those items are replaced the braking system will be essentially new other than the hardlines. Got a RA order coming in to replace those items.

Thanks haha. It definitely wasn't easy to find. I had to replace my starter last week (took a plunge deeper than intended over memorial day) and I looked for it then. I didn't find it so I thought maybe when I removed the wheel it worked it's way out. But nope so I just started tapping/shaking on each component until I heard that rattle to pin point it.

Now I got a few things on my plate. Doing a half rear seat delete (60% Portion) and I'm going to attempt a DIY Fridge slide. Then I'm going to replace the stock fogs with an Amber LED POD.

Went camping in the Talladega national forest this weekend and reached a new level of achievement with a busted CV joint. Luckily I was able to limp home. New parts (yay!) are in the mail already. Taking the moment to convert to manual hubs as well. Will post pictures once that's complete!

Paid it off!! Woohoo!! Hurt to write the big lump check but I just wanted to get out of payments. Paid off almost 18 months early. Now time to get some goodies!!
Congratulations! I've only got a month and a half to go on mine, I can hardly wait!

more what I didn't do..

Today I decided not to put a RTT on my 4Runner.
I have been going back and forth for a while now, trying to decide.

Ultimately, throwing 130 to 180 lbs that high and and losing ~1.5 MPG is a no go.
