I broke down and finally ordered personalized plates for the Zombie Crusher.

Z0MBIE

Now to see if the Motor Vehicle Commission will let me have it. They have to review the application.

ZOMBIE was already taken, and I'm hoping that they will let this one go through. It is Z 0(zero) MBIE.

If they let me have it, then to get a Zombie themed license plate frame, and zombie stick figure family for the rear hatch window.

Caliper seized... do I try removing/lubing first? Get new slide pins? New caliper?

Also, notice the play in the track bar, is it normal?
That smoke does not look good. I'd pull it apart to figure out what failed. if the slide pins are dry/siezed I'd start there. Be prepared to do a new caliper though. Would like to hear other's opinions too.

I'll have to wiggle my track bar to check for the same behavior but I think it should not wiggle that easily. Seems pretty loose in the sockets.

Adjusted the park brake shoes after R&R last year and letting them bed in over the winter. Discovered my rear driver side park brake cable is rusting at the axle end. That's caused it to expand and stick in the sleeve. Gonna try an aftermarket cable first. Would like to have the e-brake/park brake working prior to the family vaction towing the TT next week.

Final preparations before first camping trip of the summer woo hoo! I am most excited to see if the new EBPS brings my mileage back up to 14.5 from 13.1 I was seeing after the cleaning.
