Ok. Here goes. Well, it now has been just over 2 years now and I am still on the same set of pads and rotors. They are a tad less shiney now but stop just as the day I put them on. I just had the wheels off last week while I was fitting a new set of wheels. I cleaned the calipers and bolted on my 2" wheel spacers from Fred. As for the brake pads, they are about 50% still. Here are a couple pics from today and last week.

 

Here's another. My ipad won't let me load more than 1 pic at a time.

 

Another.

 

Still looking good Rob, I like that wheel in the first pic! Whats up with the turn signal lenses? Still running the Land Rover HIDs? Still saving your pennies for a gear swap?

 

Hey Tom, thanks. It just turned 190,000 miles. As soon as I can find a good tire shop, the new wheels are goin on. The turn signal lenses are painted over with VHT Niteshade tint. Yup, still running the range rover headlights. No troubles in several years. As for the gear swap, still so jealous of you for your gears. Probably by the time you wanna get rid of yours, I'll come to your house and we can swap axles.

 

RacerX, where did you get those tow hooks?

 

Ugh, unfortunately, I can't remember. It's been several years. I think they are from a company called Billet Specialties. They were about $140. They are totally functional and are direct boltin to the factory hooks. And look absolutely brand new after a polish. On vacation now but when I get home next week, I'll pull out my X files, and look it up....

 

Awesome Thanks

 

Did a quick google search. I found these made by Pro-One. They seem to be one of the only ones that have an angle to them. I'm on my cell. I think the website was Auto Body Kits Car Parts Accessories Spoilers and Police Headlights

 

Nope. Can't load the picture. Go on that site and search billet tow hooks f250. Should be able to see them. They were like $185.

 

here's a better pick of them

Pro-One Smooth Chrome Billet Tow Hooks - F00002SC by Pro-One

 

Damn, that's a lot of money for some tow hooks. I would be to afraid to scratch them up to ever use them too

 

Yup. I use mine to yank peeps stuck in the sand when I'm at Pismo Beach.

Ha. I use mine to smash bugs as I'm driving down the highway..
It isn't really a lot of money considering how much most of us spend on other useless stuff we get for our trucks. Plus, they are an exact match for my fuel door and door handles. I just don't like the cheapo crap stickon junk.
But, it's just like any of the polished parts, you scratch em, get em dirty, and whatever, you polish em up and they look brand new.
Thanks Bion for posting the pic.

 

Any updates?
