Whereabouts in DFW? Sounds like you might be in oil/gas?

I grew up in Colleyville and live up in Frisco.
I'm a structural engineer and focus on existing buildings assessment, evaluations and repairs. This is a building they are renovating in Lubbock. A few months ago I looked at another building in Midland.

Yes, everything out there is oil/gas. It's crazy business. My company has a separate department that does consulting for that industry. Was told in Midland a few pharmaceutical companies too.

I'm in SW Dallas, not far from DBU. But lived in Irving before. Some co workers here live in Frisco.

Got all my parts for the 2020 big brake upgrade. Hopefully going to knock it out tomorrow, the rotors are giant compared to the OE ones for my 2006. I've got grade 8 washers for spacers on the calipers. Hoping for no clearance issues with my wheels!

Hitched it to my "new to me" 1986 Aires 176 Fish and Ski bass boat. View attachment 428173
While I love the Bermuda Blue my tahoe is, I may have to paint it like mu old ford. That way it matches the boat lol.
Great looking boat! I'm in process of restoring/modifying my 84 Lund Nisswa. Just picked up an Evinrude 60 and I'm converting it back to a side console set up over winter. Fish on!

following, I'm getting ready to do this to both of my 800s and I'd like to see how your turn out and if you end up having to improvise anything. Should be pretty straight forward though! Are you painting/powder coating the new calipers?

I don't intend to paint them, they have a good finish on them from the factory, most likely I'll just leave them the way they are, I'll post photos before, during, and after. If the finish starts to fade or come off I'll just paint them black and be done with it.
