Thing 1 was changing the radio station, and wouldn't you know it, the light changed and everyone stopped but him. Auggh. No one hurt, but 2004 ML is toast.

Now, I am looking to go up to the 2006, but the exit of the 2004 leaves me with a set of 16" snows. The bolt pattern is the same on 2004 and 2006, so they'll go on. Just curious if there are clearance issues with the calipers.

Also, I've heard that the brake pad change on the 2006 is much more complex. The 2004 was a breeze (except for the can of PB-Blaster and 30 mins of pounding to get the rotors off). Any guidance there would be helpful.

Thanks.
