Not too bad on the lift as well.

I do mine either parked on a hill in Round Mountain Campground or in the parking lot of an Autozone.

I do mine either parked on a wet, moss-covered hill in Round Mountain Campground or in the parking lot of an Autozone.

Fixed it.

Moss makes it so much easier on the knees.

I had a local shop replace calipers, rotors, and pads on all four. Also had them replace 3 piece axle to frame, and 4 piece axle to caliper with Slee braided lines. When I picked up the truck he said the pedal may feel soft until the pads seat in. I gave him two pints of the Superblue fluid @Rice suggested and they only used about half of a of one pint. It doesn't seem like they used enough to properly bleed but I wanted to get the thoughts of the internet before I look to have them rebled.

You can't reliably say that they did or didn't bleed the system properly based on how much fluid they used. If the pedal doesn't firm up, then that's a sign that they didn't bleed it properly. If that's the case, take it back to have the system re-bled.

Have been working on my new storage system. Going with a very different design this time around.

They said it had a soft pedal but that It would firm up in a few days. It just doesn't sound right, but Ill give it a few days and take it back if it doesn't firm up.

Pads bedding in is a real thing if that's your question. Doing one or two really hard stops can help bed-in faster.

Bedding (Burnishing) is real, and it will effect pedal feel "some", but don't expect large changes from what you have now. Pedal feel now is pretty close to the done deal.

wow, nice - is the cookstove section going on top the other, maybe with a slide?

Thanks!

Not sure I follow your question. The stove will be where it is pictured, permanently. The legs fold up into the underside of the camp kitchen, then the camp kitchen will slide in, like a drawer, to the left side of the box that's in the truck.

Ask if they bled 4 or 5 items. Remind them of the LSPV if they say 4.

 

[jfz80]

Yup. Was thinking lspv as well. Then theres is the ABS pump as well that can trap air. Usually only if you run the master dry or dont bench bleed with a new one installed.

 

[pkniland]

I don't know what I'm doing with brakes. 12 pack for anyone that would be willing to help bleed everything? If not I think I'm just going to take it to Scott Clark
