The run went off without a hitch, great times out at boca chica beach, I personally had been there and other local jeepers showed me the trails out there and I did some hill climbing and playing around. Great turn out, great mix of jeeps and people:






My Friends Jeep all rhino-lined since it was beat up during the hail storms, his insurance paid for it all lol




My Jeep dusty and dirty after some trail riding out at boca chica beach, I was solo in my jeep so I couldn't get shots of my Jeep crawling on the hills:

Default Brakes upgrade

ok guys I need some of your thoughts here, I am due for my first brake pads replacement and I am currently running 35's on stock brakes everything....do you think a good set of pads will do the job or should I get a rotter upgrade as well?

Some good pads will be fine, I had to replace my rear ones at 30k with stock tires, and put some ceramics on from Wagner I think and no problems since then, now 87k. Though I did overheat my rear ones once somehow and they got glazed over, but now they are fine and quiet again. I personally would be fine with just pads, but rotors would help also with keeping them cool under heavy braking to prevent glazing
