Setting brake pads question
So I wasn't really thinking and installed the front rotors and pads only today. Did the drive where I went from 40-10 5 times then 35-5 5 times etc. problem is I am doing the rears tomorrow and have to repeat the process.
A) can I do the rears after just bedding the fronts? So soon?
B) wait a couple hundred miles and then do the rears to bed them with hard stops?
C) instructions say I can drive normally after the bedding so maybe it's ok to repeat the process again?
Advice please.

I think the fronts do the most work. I agree with you. For some reason I was thinking once you bed the pads you can't hard brake for a couple hundred miles. Thanks.
Went with the new ceramic pads and slotted and drilled rotors.
Hope to take a break from repairs for a while. :-). I'll make my way to your neck of the woods maybe this summer to say hello. Thanks to all here for all the tips
There is a great place in Gilmer, Texas that has mild to medium trails and I have always wanted to do the whole Kiamichi trail. There are so many Texas people on the forums. Maybe someday. Anyway, I'd love to meet and both rovers be behaving at the same time.
You and me both! I'm close to a reliable vehicle. Maybe I'll get there tomorrow when I take the whole thing apart again.

Plenty of Buckeyes here, Buckeye. In fact, the Gilmer mascot is the Buckeye! Hahhaa. There is a large Ohio expat community here.
