I'm a fan of Loctite on caliper mounting bolts. Some may disagree. I've had two vehicles caliper come loose in the past.

Yup. Lots of little things to do but pretty sound otherwise. Good shakedown day and everything worked great.
Blue only though, right? Shouldn’t be enough heat in the caliper attachment to require red.
there's a spec for that? is it 'really ****ing tight ft/lbs because thats what I've been doing
Lol. I have always gone the technical route. Dead blow hammer on the end of my 1/2" wrench until it stops with my highly accurate force applied.

Not yet the weekend, but checked torque on wheel lugnuts all around before a long road trip. Checked all fluids and tire pressure.
Live (thank God) and learn.

Yup blue loctite applied along with 90 foot pounds.
I really should try and post a bit more often on here. I wanted to ditch my roof lightbar for a few reasons. Among them being; I don’t use it much, and I want to try to cut unnecessary weight. So, I thought to try some ditch lights after researching to find most people who have them, like them.
Long story short, these little but super bright Baja S1s came out recently, so I fit them in pretty good under the mirror. I’m thinking they will help with giving me a wide, low angle, good for late night campspotting and visibility around and behind the front wheels for nighttime trails.

@Shoredreamer did you sell your BD 10" S8? If not, I'd buy it! 
BD stuff is really nice..... glad they came out with the S1's - they needed that size form. wish it'd been a month earlier !
This happened to me when i was 2k miles from home. I didnt understand what was happening and the local shop told me my front differential was destroyed.(!) I drove all the way home on it with the front passenger wheel randomly locking up at low speed stops and all kinds of noise other wise. After that harrowing drive I felt really stupid AFTER I PULLED THE FRONT AXLES starting from the drivers side. So I got to the passenger brake caliper near the end of the project. I put a hex on the shop in Wyoming.
Picked up my first 80 series about a month ago and couldn't be happier. Been working on chasing down oil leaks and general maintenance, such a fun project and platform to work on. Just installed the ARB bumper and lights last night and couldn't be happier with how it's turning out.

Go over to the clubhouse and find the Tornado Alley Cruisers!
Looks like you're in the Olathe area.
See if you can figure out where we're going to be and come to one of the get-togethers!

The 10” BD Onx6 on the bumper, I did sell it a ways back. But I highly suggest that light. It’s crazy bright!@Shoredreamer did you sell your BD 10" S8? If not, I'd buy it!
