I've had the rotors sitting around for a couple years, I think they were some kind of a closeout at Rock auto. They got a bit rusty, (bad storage spot) so had to have them machined. Went with Hawk LTS pads. I haven't driven it yet, it's raining out at the moment. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...8041e2ca79.jpg I know many people don't like 4 post lifts, but so far I am loving it. The built in table comes in handy for a brake job. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...96714042c3.jpg Here's the rolling jack holding things up. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...9254b0024a.jpg |

Krispy Kreme is based in NC and there are stores everywhere. Years ago I had a friend who was doing a ride along with a local Police Dept and there was a special 10 code used when the "hot doughnuts now" light came on.
They had like 150 people camped out when our local one opened a few weeks ago. They are supposed to be opening more locations, which would be great because I hate having to drive across town for them...but that might help out with the weight problem I've started having haha |

You can install a snow plow mount the same on an excursion as a F-250/350 pickup, it's all identical.
I'm planning on installing my mount and wiring harness before it snows... |

I have the lts on my explorer and like them allot although they do make grinding noises from time to time but that doesn't bother me. I think the super duty and excursion are heavy enough to warrant the severe duty pads. |
Ordered a 230 amp Neece-Neville alternator and a 58mm pulley. Also getting the alternator wiring kit from FICM repair. Can't wait!
A shout out to ToreadorDiesel for advising me on what to get! |

A shout out to Toreador_Diesel for advising me on what to get! Just paying forward what I've learned. |

Now that I've driven on the Michelin LTX M/S 265/70r16s, I am sure glad I bit the bullet and snagged this 25% used set. Nice and quiet and don't feel like truck tires. I will only be on highways and biways, always a full hookup...
I will have to go back to 75s if we get a bigger TT.. it's 1000 lbs difference between the 70 and 75 tire... |

Refilled my small bottle of stanadyne from my big bottle of stanadyne. Also just realized yesterday I've put 5k miles on the X since I bought it back in mid June. A 2 week trip to South Dakota in July and a 2 day trip to Tulsa last weekend. Been driving it to work 4 days a week to. Time for her second oil change since I've been courting her. She's been real good to me so far. ( knocking on wood as I say that)
