What you using for the camera? recording? I'd like to setup a dashcam like that..

kenwood drv-830, lots of dash cams out there. I bought mine from the uk because they don't sell the drv-830 over here, the better quality camera's are going to come from the UK or Japan or get a commercial quality one some of those upload to the cloud and require a subscription though because they are used for business liability. a $20 camera is a $20 camera you get what you pay for.
I bought the kenwood because it holds 2 128gb cards and has parked recording, I don't need wifi or any of that stuff I just wanted something that can record for a very long time, it's puts less wear on the cards and less likely to get corrupted video.

Well, I finally did my front brakes this weekend and finished them up Monday.
I've had the parts sitting here for about 2 years, but the fronts really didn't need
replaced yet.
I used the AC Delco severe duty coated calipers/ caliper brackets. I cleaned them off quickly
and used a brush on gloss black caliper paint from Eastwood. It all turned out great.
I also did the oe caliper brake lines, PowerStop Z23 towing pads, Powerstop slotted and'
coated rotors (like i have on the rear) ... These look really good.
I cleaned up all components and it all looks great.. Did my "bed-in" procedure Monday.
And got a few suburban miles on it today.
Finally got some new silicone grease for my grease gun for my Poly Bushings in the
front and rear sway bars, links, panhard bar, & lower control arms.
That stuff I bought 2-3 years ago was expensive: $17 for one tube.....
post covid in our new economy is was $50... yes 50 bucks for ONE grease cartridge...
I have 3 cars that have poly bushings in the suspension. I learned the hard way
Not to use standard grease gun grease on the poly - it ate thru some of my bushing within
3 years - expensive repair for control arms

Ok Foggy, now we need some 60-0 numbers to see how good those brakes work! Wes posted his a couple weeks back but I forget now. @Doubeleive

I forget mine too, we did it a year or so ago. Time to break out the VC200 again!

 

[Foggy]

I don't really know if my 60-0 will be much better .. I did this upgrade to make sure
I've got good brakes while towing, etc
I'll have to figure out somewhere safe to try it out !!!!

What I can comment on is that the prices now for all my brake parts are
probably 30% + more expensive than what I actually paid for them.....
I would have stocked up on a lot of diff stuff had I known that the inflation was gonna
fu^k us all.... but in some instances in 2021 it was just 'luck' to even get things I needed

My driver's side window regulator took a sheet last night. Had to tape the window into up position overnight. I just replaced that regulator 1 1/2 years ago. It has lifetime warranty. So I played hookey from work for a half day to fix that. Now I'm back at work. Grrr...

replaced the passenger side mirror, mirror works fine but in the process the triangular trim piece broke a clip off and almost all the door panel clips broke off
so if you plan on pulling door panels off of a 10+ year old vehicle invest in some of these, gm wants about $8 each

ya none of the ones at the auto parts store fit at all, they are all too small. I went to 3 stores and couldn't find anything that would work. bought 2 from the dealer and then ordered 12 more and searched the part number online, so the ones I ordered from the dealer are going get returned that was $140 including the $36 triangle trim piece.

and after all that I discover the freaking mirror cap is a slightly different shade of silver, but oh'well f-ik

So I'm just reporting back on these clips. They fit wand work well but they are definitely much more brittle than the factory ones. Like a harder plastic. I was jacking up my reassembly sequence because I was rushing and I had to pull the panel back off 3 times.

There were 4 or 5 I replaced out of the about dozen factory ones. The new clips broke every single time. And one broke during installation. So just a heads up they are pretty much one time use and be ginger lining them up to the holes in the door frame and installing them. I am glad I had them though. Door panel is nice and snug now. Thanks @Doubeleive
