Steering ones see to be selling for around 1k(ish). Rears from, get this thing out of my yard to 300(ish).

Buy all your Rockwell goodies from Mud Pro Metal Works. Here
 
So you've read the rockwell thread at the top of the page AND the official rockwell thread on the PBB and STILL have questions?
 
Eric at Bottomland 4x4 may have some for sale. U defently got ur wrk cut out for ya.. U should look to spend around 1000-1300 for take outs that means u strip the factory brakes and ect.. You can buy them already debraked but will prob spend alil more.. Wheel brake set ups for these things are high dollar about 1000 per axle for them pinion brakes are cheaper but not road leagal.. Hope this helps pm me with any questions.
 
NC Inspection Laws:http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/vehicle_se...ionsmanual/download/CR435NCDOTEnforcement.pdf


19A NCAC 03D .0532 BRAKES

No vehicle brakes shall be approved for an inspection sticker unless the items
indicated in this Rule are inspected and found to meet the minimum
requirements established in G.S. 20-124 and this Rule.

1. Foot brakes shall not be approved if:
(a) When applying brakes to moving vehicle, braking force is not
distributed evenly to all wheels originally equipped with
brakes by the manufacturer. (The inspection mechanic/
technician must drive vehicle to perform this test. The
inspection mechanic/technician may check the brakes while
driving vehicle forward into the inspection area.)
(b) There is audible indication (metal on metal) that the brake lining is
worn to the extent that it is no longer serviceable. (The wheel must
be pulled and the brake lining examined when this occurs.)
(c) Pedal reserve is less than 1/3 of the total possible travel when the
brakes are fully applied, or does not meet the manufacturer’s
specification for power brakes or air brakes.
(d) The reservoir of the master cylinder is not at normal operating level.
(Only brake fluid meeting SAE specifications for heavy-duty
hydraulic brake fluid shall be used when adding or changing brake
fluid.).
[Reservoir filled according to the manufacturers
specifications.]
(e) There is a visible leakage or audible seepage in hydraulic, vacuum or
air lines and cylinders, or visible cracked, chafed, worn, or weakened
hoses.
(f) The vehicle has any part of the brake system removed or
disconnected.
(g) The brake pedal moves slowly toward the toe-board (indicating fluid
leakage) while pedal pressure is maintained for one minute.

2. Inspection mechanic/technicians are not expected to remove wheels in
order to inspect the brakes. (Except as provided in item (1)(b) of this
section.) Inspection mechanic/technician must raise vehicle to get
beneath to check underside.

3. Handbrakes (auxiliary, parking or holding) shall not be approved if:
(a) There is no lever reserve when the brake is fully applied.
(b) Cables are visibly frayed or frozen, or there are missing or defective
cotter pins or broken or missing retracting springs or worn rods or
couplings.
(c) The operating mechanism, when fully applied, fails to hold the
brakes in the applied position without manual effort.
(d) When emergency or handbrakes are applied they fail to hold vehicle.
(e) Fails to release after set.

This is where pinion brakes would fail. Any vehicle you are going to find was originally equipped with brakes on all 4 corners. To pass you would have to keep brakes on all 4 corners and I don't know of a regular vehicle(car, van, suv, pickup) out there that had factory pinion brakes or less than one brake setup on each corner.
