Well today was a pretty good day. A local junkyard had a $20 all you can carry day, the catch is you have to be able to physically carry it over the scales about 30 feet. So I went early and packed my tools in my backpack with my wish list in hand. I was going for a set of stock spindles, and rotors as well as a stock set of rotors from a 02-newer for mockup of my disc swap. Well the Mopar gods were looking over me today. The first truck in the Dodge line had the spindles and 98 rotors and the second truck was an 04 with the rotors still on it as well. So I used a lugnut to bolt the 04 rotors to the 98 spindle and rotor and I carried them both across the scales. Oh did I mention that I forgot the correct allen wrench so I had to carry the calipers as well? That crap is heavy. Also the 04 rotors are hub centric to my stock rotors so I don't have to have a spacer made, that's a win in my book as well. So with my first score loaded up I decided to make another $20 trip. This time I went in with less tools to save weight and was looking for little things. Well I scored pretty big I think. I scored a set of rear wheel well liners from a 4wd, a piller trim with factory tweeters, map light lenses, a steering wheel volume button, 2 early 90s dakota Magnum air cleaners, and a set of cruise control buttons that still had the words on them. After I returned home I did a little mock up to see how well the calipers are going to fit. They are tight but I think they will work. Plus seeing that Porsche through the spokes looks pretty BA.
