New Brakes

Well I finally got around to installing my Brakes from Alon over at ModBargains.com I went with the Power Slot Rotors, Centric Posi Quiet Brake Pads, and Centic Drums/Shoes. But im still waiting on my rear shoes that they forget to ship :( It already stops way better, but its the rear that really needs to be done. So I had time before work so I washed and waxed it:

Yep it was the first time doin the front, I did it under an hour it was pretty easy. As soon as my rear shoes get hear Alon can be considered "The Man" lol

YA they came off pretty easy, but the first side took forever to do, but the second side took no time at all. I guess it always easier once you do it one time

How do you like those Grabber AT2's? I just did the t-bar crank on mine, and I'm getting ready to put new tires on. I'm going up to 265's and those Grabbers look good for the money.
Thanks

I have powerslots on my truck and they do make a world of difference. As for the General AT2's, they are the best AT tire I have ever had on any truck.
