I like that Ipad mount, I may have to do that!👍
Thanks , appreciate it :)
Here’s the components I used
RAM Cradle - RAM-HOL-AP-
204

RAM Mounts 2.5” plastic diameter mounting plate
RAP-B-2024

RAB -B- 201U-C Long
5.75” Aluminum dual socket arm for 1” ball size

RAM mount .25-20 Female thread on 1” ball
RAM -B-3374

Was wheeling on Sat for 8 hours and it did not move . Minimal vibration so very sturdy .
 
The Powerstop Z36 brake kit is complete . Did the rears today . Discovered a rear leaking seal on the drivers side . Looks like chrome moly rear axles & Eaton Trutrac posi is going to be done sooner rather later as that seal has to be replaced .

Had to replace a broken stud . Broke off when I had new wheels put on a few months ago . Relatively simple task .

If purchasing this Dornan stud off of Amazon . Quantity on site reads 1. I was thinking 1 stud . It’s 1 box of 10. So have some spares .

Noticed driving around for a couple weeks with just the fronts replaced stopping power was better. With front & rears done . Just driving around the neighborhood def notice not as much pressure needs to be applied to the brake pedal . Has some solid grip for sure .
Heading to the mountains later today so will give it a good test .
When I did the front bearings did the front brakes but forgot to take pics of the new rotors Will slide off front tire in next couple days and add a few pics .

The pads are ceramic / carbon fibre mix . Gives some really good bite while really cutting down on brake dust .
Couldn’t be happier . Highly recommended if looking for a brake upgrade but don’t want to spend the money on a full big rotor kit .

Dead Pedal install.
Oritech & Hooke Off-road advertise and sell the same dead pedal . So not sure who the original manufacturer is .
But whomever it is Kudos . It’s built really well , sturdy and easy to install using the two ground studs on left kick panel .

The TIG welds are very clean . Fit & Finish is near perfect .

I have it set at its furthest point away. Feels very comfortable and sturdy .
Where I have it set feels natural for foot to rest at that position . Time will tell if needing a readjustment .
I’m just under 6 ft’. If your taller like Big Sexy @BigalAl07
you may have to drill out additional holes to set it back more . That is purely subjective to how the driver sits .

Purchased off of Amazon . Had it saved with Hooke Rd.
They were out of stock when I was looking to purchase . Found the same pedal sold as Oritech . Ships from China .
