    Rear spoiler third light replacement

    CHMSL. Center high mount stop light is how the .gov and most manufacturers refer to the third brake light. Thanks for the write up.

    PowerStop, Hawk, Akebono, EBC, Bosch, Centric and even Brembo brake pads. So many options with so little reviews and info!

    Here are the rears. Full length friction surface. Not cut down like the OE pads. Shims, springs, lube. Bonded. No rivets.

    I’ve been very pleased with the power stop Z36. OE rears were toast at 25k miles and the rotors warped. Approx 35k I installed the full Z36 kit with rotors. Currently at 118k. Zero issues but pads are nearing end of life. Amazon had the pads on sale for Black Friday so they are here waiting...

    Sunroof glass

    Replacing rear brake pads and rotors

    Count me as a fan of the Powerstop Z36 as well. I had an 04 before buying my 18 FX4. With the 04 more boot to the brake pedal meant faster stopping. I was disappointed in my 18 because it seemed to stop on its own time. Brake fell was not very progressive. I found myself not getting stopped...

    Timberline Transmission Skid Plate Installed

    Went ahead and installed mine today and used the small bolts/spring nuts from the old pressed fiber panel. FWIW I have an 18 FX4. Two metal skid plates up front then the fiber trans panel. Thanks up front to those who did the digging to get the correct part numbers. Random thoughts and...

    Timberline Transmission Skid Plate Installed

    Just to update. Local dealer worked with me on the nuts/bolts. They had the larger m10 in stock. Ordered me the M8? for the front attachment. No charge by dealer.

    Timberline Transmission Skid Plate Installed

    Well. My skid plate kit arrived today. Picked it up at the dealer at lunch. Just had time to open and check. No hardware. Just the main panel with oil change access panel attached. Was a nice hole in the box. Back to the dealer tomorrow to try and resolve.
