too much flex, I think. have to have matching force on both sides from the way all the brake lathes seem to work from the very little digging I did

my issue wasn't clamping or fixture, just seemed like the metal was very gummy and it was super hard to get a clean finish even trying many different speeds/feeds after i decided i destroyed the rotor (was just a junk s10 rotor i was trying to save 60$)

Seems like the bumper hitch needs some additional mounting webs to the frame, but that's easy as pie. DO IT



Did you grab that brake lathe?

i noticed the lack of HD bumper hitch.   looks easy to make my own hitch, and make that bed dump the way the steel frame mounts to truck.


i dont know, i dont feel like spending 5k on my truck right now

meh

I’m ready for raw galvanized and getting over the look. Aluminum looks much better than raw zinc.

Easier to swallow either with a white truck than black though, got to give you that.

I’d never try to polish it so they’d look the same in a few years.
