    The front ones where worn down a good bit past the recommended wear mark, I haven't taken the rears off yet but I'll take pics when I do.

    Rear rotors looked fine so I'm gonna return the new rear rotors. The pads on the other hand were bad. 3 were past the wear mark and the forth you could just barely see the wear mark

    Well my tailgate was squeaking when I went over bumps so I ordered a new bushing kit and that came in today. It was raining so I took the tailgate off the truck to change the bushings. Well, a simple 5 minute bushing change turned into a full on 3 hour detail session. I ended up washing it then using a heavy rubbing compound, then a medium light compound, then a swirl remover/Polish, then another wash, clay bar, mirror glaze, then waxed it. Tailgate looks soooo much better now. uploadfromtaptalk1447122852339.jpg [​IMG] It still has a lot of paint chips so I ordered a touch up pen to take care of those. uploadfromtaptalk1447122879176.jpg [​IMG][​IMG] I also peeled the white plasti dip off the tailgate handle and sprayed it white with real paint this time.
