    Cool

    Went wheeling in street snow for the first time this week (Tuesday). Even shifted to 4-Low for the first time in some squalls. Blew my horn at girly men in cars & lesser 4x4's to stand aside - a MASTER & COMMANDER was comin' thru!!! Women swooned at my ability to climb steep streets with nary a wheel spin...

    Today I washed it.

    Mid 50's today, changed out all my brake pads with ceramic ones. Driver rear was almost metal to metal, why would one wear faster than the other three, they were just a hair under 1/4 remaining

    A number of things could cause this. Are you saying that the driver rear, both inner & outer pads were worn down... or was it one or the other that was worn down excessively?

    Thanks. I wish the instructions were more clear. I'm not very mechanically inclined at all but figured I couldn't get into too much trouble so I dove in head first.

    It is the 63. I was looking at the aluminum one as well (77 I think) and the only difference is the aluminum tube. I didn't want chrome under the hood so I went with this one. I have only driven it on surface streets so I haven't gotten the speed up yet. There was a noticeable change in torque when I hit the gas. No change in sound. If you get one do yourself a favor and put all the brackets and whatnot on the heat shield in the house where its warm and you can watch football. The instructions have you remove the OEM tube and air box and THEN attach stuff to the heat shield. If you do that first you can yank the crap out and get right to installing. Simple hand tools: Flat head screwdriver, 8mm and 10mm sockets, 10 mm and 7/16 wrenches.

    This is the first step in making the 3.7 breath a little better and sound a little meaner. Next step is a FLowmaster exhaust.
