Anyone had to replace front rotors? Gotta do front brakes on Libby, torn between getting them turned or just replacing, not sure how much meat is left, may have to get new anyway. They only have 65K so I should be able to turn them.

BBrrrrr stupid cold wet weather. Grass in the field is waist high, I'm gonna have to pay someone now to bush hog it :banghead:

I was going to replace all my rotors in September cause they'll have around 70,000 (maybe a little more). Is there certains brands that work better for the Liberty? With the OME lift+clevis lift, is there any way you can extend the brake lines a little or do I have to buy a longer brake hose kit from JBA tailored to a lift of that size?

I've always bought most all brake parts from NAPA
get the better brake pads and their rotors and you'll be good
Don't need extended brake lines etc with an OME lift
05 and later you need a bracket to space the rear down some but thats all

Thanks for the info! Glad to know I won't need extended brake lines. That saves me $200+ for better rotors and brake pads.

There is not much meat there to begin with to turn them
Heard of a few that turned theirs but had warping later down the road

Yeah, I was kind of shocked when I checked them during tire rotation the other day.....looked thin already. They aren't warped or grooved, was just thinking of cleaning them up before new pads. Maybe let them go this time until next pads and just clean the glaze off them
Thanks Tom

That's what I did when I replaced mine at 99,000 miles, just cleaned everything up really well and ran them. I still have my old ones and they never gave me any problems, but when you have new ones laying there looking so good and no rust I just had to install them :ROTFL:

^^^^^^
Which reminds me I need to pick that MOPAR front brake kit up from ya and slide ya some more money :JEEPIN:

Tahoe, I wouldn't machine them as Tom said they are already thin enough and if there is no pulsation I would just scuff them up with a scotch brite pad or disk if ya have one to remove any glazing as ya said. The rotors are also cheap enough that if they would need turning I would just replace them :JEEPIN:

Tom, if the weather is better on Friday I am thinking I will just pull that right side top plate in the driveway, it's BUGGIN me :ROTFL:

Not only that I have to pick up some bigger bolts for the rail mounts and still have that brake line extension to install so I wont be with out sumtin to do. Plus not only that there is other work to be done and I am thinking the list just may get longer for our sunny day :jester:

What's up you bums ... :goink:

I had 2 interviews today... parts manager at Auto Zone & UTILITY pole inspector... both went well... I'm favoring the utility job.... kind of like Archaeology but without the digging...
the pt cruiser is getting a professional headliner replacement.... probably camo or black :twisted:

did some modifying to the inside rear... had to do some cutting to make the powertank fit like I wanted...

Ray. Megalos and buggin.... the rides are looking good.... not as good as mine but hey I was #1 :wink:

Tahoe.. Napa premium rotors are the way to go..... :2cents:

If my kj were still alive I would be at 184,000 miles this week...... :evil:

Notice how I put UTILITY in caps... so there was no confusion ... :goink:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Thu May 19, 2011 8:34 am

thanks for advice. We are hitting mountains of Gatlinburg in 3 weeks and front pads are getting thin so wanna get it done before we leave. I'll just clean them up and go from there.
I have to replace rotors on both Bird and Tahoe, each one has a warped one on it so wherever I can save right now is good.

Hey PTLoser Chris....ya bum!!!! :goink:

HAHAHAHA....pole inspector..I miss it until Buggin said something.

Crap, all day project at work= not at my desk= no internet time today :furious:

Megalos · **Posted:** Thu May 19, 2011 10:32 am

Chris...good luck with the job. But seriously...what does a UTILITY pole inspector do? Does that require a degree or something. I can see you now...

Inspection report: Pole #3456 is still there and within 5 degrees of vertical. The pole is pine and has some cracks but all of the for sale and lost dog posters are holding it together just fine.

OHHHHHH those kind of "poles" :ROTFL:

I first thought the brass kind then knowing Chris I had to wonder :goink:

, now thanks to Megalos I know it's the kind that holds up wires :ROTFL:

Took out my upper SHOCK plate on the passenger side this morning, 15 minutes later I now sit perfectly level up front :pepper:

I still need to take more out of my pockets so my arms don't hit any more, I am getting slight contact which is BUGGIN me :jester:

Went over to FASTENALL this morning and grabbed some bolts for my rails, now just to tap out my rail mount holes for the much bigger bolts I am going to be using which will be ultra strong :pepper:

BugginKJ · **Joined:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:35 pm **Posts:** 4576

Worked some OT this morning and am going in early tonight to get some more OT :pepper:

Got home and tapped out one hole bigger for a larger bolt, the others I was able to get nuts on the back side since I chipped my tap and it decided for me it is done :roll:

But all is good, all bolts are now rock solid and ready for some abuse :pepper:

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 10:50 am

what size drill bits do I need to buy again for those bolts Hart?
I'll go into town tomorrow morning and get some extras

TAHOE · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2011 11:38 am

No offense to anyone if you are one, but.....salesmen need to take their head outta of the rear and realize the company doesn't revolve around them...and I can only do one function at a time :furious:

Better be sunny on Saturday....going to get a sore butt from sitting on tractor all day cuttin grass, :dizzy:

Tom, eating is over rated!!!! :mrgreen:

Frame bolts are a size under 3/8" and pinch weld bolts are 5/16". I can bring some drill bits over, don't buy any. :JEEPIN:

I have to remember to bring my deburring tool so I can lengthen and widen my pockets in a couple of spots :jester:
