    Just picked up some new rims for the beast today, and was wondering if anyone knows of any center caps that are compatible with these pro comp rims. I think they look good put a cap to cover the rusty metal axel behind the rear ones would be nice

    Can’t seem to find any over around 88mm to what I measured the round size of them to be. Unless I’m measuring them wrong?

    Have you done yours before? If so, how did you get the rotors off of the rear?

    Wire brush the hub to brake drum joining surface, apply penetrating oil, screw two 8mm 1.25 x 30mm bolts into drum while turning drum till the drum clears brake shoes and axle. You may have to back off the bell cranks from rear of brake backplate if the brakes are adjusted tightly.

    I tried wire brushing it without taking them off, was a pain in the ass and I got my finger too so probably won’t be doing that again. I’m gonna be taking them off to do it and painting them with high temperature paint and primer

    Figured someone would say that, it’s nothing bad I’ve hammer tested it multiple times and surprisingly it’s not bad anywhere especially the rear leafs are great. I’m gonna see about taking off the bed and undercoating it with fluid film with my buddy or somwtjint
