There is a product called Bulldog that I have used in the past.. it's an adhesion promoter. I've used it on metal in the past and was impressed with the results. This stuff: http://kleanstripauto.com/products/bulldog-adhesion-promoter

I have found that the drums squeal. I went to great lengths to get disks on my old 4runner.

I de-TuRDed the 4Runner today.

I was just out and about and I'm sitting here at work dreaming (on ExPo) about being out there again!

Just make sure you clean your spare after going to Moab on a muddy day.. Or you'll have one red tire after that 5 wheel rotation.. (ask me how I know)

My GF and I got in a 3 dayer to Joshua Tree and a few places in-between. A few pix: Our glamp setup in the back of the 4runner. Box Canyon.. sausages, whiskey, camp fire and lots of bats flying around protecting us from bugs. I'm quite excited about this photo. A few years back, I was not...
