Basically finished ;)

Still have a few small things to do, paint everything, maybe shorten the sway links a touch, a minor adjustment of the drag link, change a couple of bolts.....
And, YES, make the track bar straight

Again, a huge thanks to Dan (DanB98TJ) for his help.

The sway links aren't as close as they appear in the photos.

Been driving it around, and the difference is pretty unbelievable. The dual piston calibers will stand the Jeep on it's nose, and lock up the tires

I like the blue MTRs.

Do you happen to know if they come in red as well?

I'll be all over them if they do.



It looks good Fred.

What's wrong, don't like that official, Ford Light Blue

That's what we used to spray on the tires to set the toe

You're welcome, Fred - and thank you for the parts!

I am really amazed at how well Fred's Jeep drives compared to mine - besides the brakes being a ton better, the ride and stability is much better. Now we just have to try it out off road....
