I ran a stock master cylinder and an adjustable proportioning valve inline going to the rear. Typically had it set at about 60% on top of the stock TJ's proportioning which was still in place. The rear was a FF dana 60 with disc conversion.
need to deff change the name of this post. got my lower trac bar bracket built and the upper welded on moved my coil retainers and some how made my trac bar to short even after measuring about a hundred times hopefully the front well be totally done by sunday. and i can start on the rear...
Well after all the measuring it coudnt have come out any better.All that is really left is brakes and i got to get josh at universal to shorten my front drive shaft and we should be ready for a shake down run.
little update got everything finished it drives great zero problems. stops a hundred times better than any stock jeep dreamed of using stock mc (thanks jeremy /curtis/bailey).
Got some small stuff done figured id post it up. Got my savy tail gate, ordered psc tramp stamp and big hit bumper from swag. It came time to change trans fluid so i figured it was best time to do upgrades installed drain plug and trans temp and ordered derale trans cooler with fan.. today i went by chris and had him burn me up a double sheer pitman arm
thanks. also did the steering arm side double sheer still waiting on my gusset too finish it up. pics of it actually in the woods if u can believe that
I installed a durango 160 amp alternator today direct bolt on other than some wiring i upgraded. It truely is a great upgrade i tried pulling down the battery with the winch and the battery indicator never moved.
The one on the left is stock one on the right is durango
Been a while since i updated the build page. I have really enjoyed the one tons and the freedom they have given me (selectable locker is awesome). I finally got around to trimming the rear fender gained about 2". Swag offroad big hit bumper installed, Also got my poison spyder hood louver installed.
Getting ready for my spring project and its down to stretch the front 5"(16" fox coilover res, behind axle steering,ballistic brackets, drive shaft, genright coilover hoop kit) or put a cage in it and a few minor upgrades (Poison spyder full cage with tie in and grab handles, monster liner tub, swag lifted body mounts change upper control so it is adjustable at both ends) .really going to boil down to money
Pulled the cage to finish up welding. I ended up getting it out by myself as my tractor couldnt get high enough to pull it over the tub all most feel out of the back of the jeep. My new welder is awesome make welding a breeze. Also got in my 50" led bar which is boss.
While I was waiting on my cage to come back I lined the inside of the tub and the outer railes turned out great. Also decided to put a double din in the dash they had them on sale at freemans so I picked one up and a set of new speakers for the dash. I will try to do as detailed a job as I can on the install as there was not alot of info on these mod. That brings us up to last night when I got my cage back from the powder man. My cage wouldnt fit ended up busting the front glass out cause the lower front spreader bar was hitting the glass. Had a hell of a time getting the soft top on so yeah then
The double din was fairly easy to do as long as u now a little bit about fiber glass. I started off by picking up a 08 jk double din install kit basically 2 brackets to hold it in the dash. I removed the outer lip I also had to remove some of the plastic that was below the upper vents. After that the dd would slide in. I bolted it to the bracket wired it up and that was the easy part. The fun part was molding the face ring into the dash. I marked what needed to be cut out removed that set the ring in problem was the dd is not as wide as the stock st up so I used the face ring from the old cut it and glassed it in.. Once it was good and cured I still had pretty good size gaps so I took blue masking tap tapped the back side of the plate mixed some resin and poured it in the cracks I just left the tape on the back it made the whole face plate strong. After that tedious sanding and bondo and now it looks like the jeep was made that way .I used dupli color bedliner as the paint and just backed it up farther while I was painting it to make it not so textured
