Looks great…not sure about you taste in music though ;-)

 

Thanks! As for my music taste, I am very glad that you don't concur as it validates the beauty of neurodivergence.

 

So, on the brake job thing for $2300...

I'm trading in my 2017 Jaguar F Type R on my Defender. My F Type has the carbon ceramic brake package, which if you have to do full rotors and pads comes out to around $18,000 for the whole shebang. I know this is NOT apples to apples, but I might be one of the few people looking at that potential cost going "whew, bargain." lol.

 

lol smart move to bail on that, 18k wow that's just bonkers. I would think anyone who opted for brakes like that in the first place though isn't too worried about 18k. Are you the second owner?

 

Yes, I am the second owner and carbon ceramics are going to be a nightmare scenario down the road for 2nd or 3rd owners who are unaware. The flip side is they will last a LONG time if you're not tracking the car, like probably up to 100k miles without doing anything to them. But if something hits a rotor and takes a chunk out you cannot resurface them, you just have to replace, and they are spendy for sure.

 

this picture really helped me make my decision
