Dana 60 Lugnut 4x4 Brake Pad Upgrade & K&N Air Filter Tech

Quick 4x4 tip on how to stop brake pad squealing on your rock crawler with one ton Dana 60 and 14 Bolt axles using the Lugnut 4x4 disc brake conversions to the JB6 GM calipers. And tech talk about K&N filters and how to keep them clean and last longer on your rig.

Lug Nut 4x4 sells a kit to replace the enormous/heavy factory Ford kingpin Dana 60 front calipers. It basically swaps out the huge stock calipers for a smaller/lighter simpler GM single piston caliper. It's the same caliper used on many rear 14 Bolt disc conversions (JB6 or JB7). So it makes it nice having all 4 of the same calipers and same brake pads on all 4 corners of my rig.
Cheap parts store semi-metallic brake pads often times will squeal like crazy when full of dust, debris and mud. I was experiencing horrible squealing on every trail ride, so this video covers upgrading to Ceramic pads for the JB6 calipers and where I sourced them. Inexpensive ceramic pads fixed the issue and will last much longer.
