I road my bike across the country back in 2007 and went right by that area through Dolores, Ridgway, Montrose, etc., but never once went off-road. I thought I was being adventurous but I really wasn't even close to what you're doing. Also Kudos for making a point of showing us that you use a torque wrench when tightening your wheel lug nuts. Most pro mechanic will just use the air hammer, call it good, and never check the torque.

Pro tip, add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter to your chili after it cooks, adds great flavor. Nice overnight time-lapse. I've always heard to keep your tires on the same side when rotating, helps save tread?

[@MikeR55]

When rotating all five, including the spare, a different pattern is used, look it up :)

@@MikeR55 yes but you should keep the tread rotating the same direction. By changing sides it weakens the tire, dont need to "look it up".

@@donniev8181 not if you rotate often. Look it up..

[@donniev8181]

@@MikeR55 doesn't matter how often you rotate, it has to do with the change in direction and its affect on the tread. It is not a huge deal but it will shorten the life of the tire.

[@rola938]

when you get a chance remove your front wheels and check to see if the brake pads are rattling around loose in the caliper it may only be a small amount of movement but if the tension springs have weakened or are missing your pads will rattle when going over rough ground and the rattle will stop when you apply the brake and reappear when you release the brake. You may also notice when having traveled over rough ground for a period of time the brake pedal travel could feel slightly longer than normal. if this is what you find, replace or refit the brake pad tension springs, their job is to hold the pad close to the disc to ensure the brake pedal travel is always as short as possible and of course, stop the pads rattling. Love the channel, keep doing what you're doing.

For your rattle issue, I recommend checking your anti rattle clip, it might be corroded/broken or slipped out of place letting your brakes chatter against the pistons while its floating (i.e.no brakes applied)... if thats not it, maybe those pins you took out might be out of round (maybe from corrosion or knicked on a certain spot), if neither, upgrade the whole brake system :)

[@awaara24]

you have a floating design caliper, which means the pads should be able to move around freely (more as they wear out), the pads could be ever so slightly bumping around but given the crazy roads you drive on may make them louder. It will probably go away when you get a fresh set of brakes on there I reckon

[@jamsaanich4993]

@@awaara24 Anti-rattle clips that secure the pad in place is the issue. They rust or loose their tension. They are small, cheap, and easy to replace.
