    Yeah, they've had a bad one two punch of the fires this past summer and now this. Think he was a little north of where it washed away. Seems like a section of Hwy 1 falls off every couple years now.

    Ones reaction when your mom takes away your World of Warcraft account I think? Something very similar if not that.

    Apparently the front brake pads started to melt or something like that and flake off as he was coming down the mountain last night. Duralast ceramics from Autozone. We're swapping those out later today and trying out some semi-metallics to see what happens. Thinking its a bad batch or something

    Derrr...I gotcha. Ill ask him if he's ever heard of it going back on Taco's as well. What year was the Celica? My roommates Tacoma is a 2001. Doing some adjustments to the rear drums seemed to help late last night. Tonight was getting the front all put back together. Taking it for a test drive after work tomorrow to confirm.

    Still havent figured out a cause behind this and we plan on hauling a couple 4x4's on a trailer up to Big Bear so if we cant figure it out we might not be able to. We hit that one after both rear lines had been bleed, still no difference.

    Hes going farthest to closest, so passenger side rear being the first one. When he presses down on the pedal you can physically see the pad itself compress, its the weirdest thing.

    Roommate is installing new brake pads on his Tacoma right now and we are working through trying to diagnose a pedal that's still squishy. We've replaced the master cylinder and plenty of bleeding have been done and we still cant figure it out. The one thing we noticed was the actual ceramic pad compressing against the rotor. I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything conclusive. So the stupid question is, are brake pads themselves supposed to compress? And on a lighter note:

    I see the hammer in the lower left corner of the pic and imagine this happening in the engine bay:

    And lose a major tourist attraction? Dont think they would do that unless like you say, they got a big quake and it took out a whole chunk of roadway. All a matter of how much money they want to throw at it I guess. How many inches did you guys say you lose every year to erosion?

    This guy? http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/dslide/ Looks like it was a cool project, hope it was worth the $440million.

    Good to see it done. Did they pave the entire stretch where they had torn it up from the construction as well?
  19. Smithwicks
    Yup!

    Whats wrong with this picture...

    I cringe at the thought of what the traffic might be like at that time getting to and from there.
  22. Smithwicks
    I'd like to see that on the side of the PCH as you drive by, all lined up together.
  23. Smithwicks
    Looks right. Thanks Jon. Went across a rough intersection and rattled the damn trim piece right off.
  24. Smithwicks
    Anyone know what the heck this is called or even better, the PN for it? Held the interior trim piece along the top and side of the rear tailgate.
  25. Smithwicks
    Company paying for any part of the move?
