14 bolt disc brake conversion on the cheap, weld on brackets from a race shop, J10 calipers, Camaro pads wrapped around Chevy 8 lug rotors, this setup also works great for 15" wheels no grinding of the calipers

Damn, you went all out didn't you. Any idea on a timeframe?

You might look at beefing those caliper brackets up a bit, they're known to bend/tear with tires much smaller than 44"s.

caliper brackets have a extra piece of 1/4" plate behind them
 
I'm happy for you bro! It'll make all the last couple years :poop: worth the headaches!

LMK if there's anything I can help with... (I can burn chips, just not worth a fiddle tuning them), give me a yell. :beer:

Most of the simple bars that add strength in aren't important in the drawing, and typically aren't worth the time to draw...

design looks good and roomy... Im guessing a CJ front clip?

Tell Brandon to muscle up an crank on that tubing roller for ya ;)
