    I have a 1980 CJ7 with standard brakes, disk front/drum rears. I just finished replacing the entire brake system, lines, wheel cylinders, calipers, etc. I cannot get the front calipers to move or feel any pedal pressure for the front brakes. The pedal goes easily 1/2 through its travel then...

    Diff Front Axle to Match 8.8 Rear

    What passenger drop front axle would pair best with a Ford Explorer 8.8 rear? The 8.8 is 59.5” wide, and about 60.25” with a c-clip eliminator kit that also gives it 5x5.5. I currently have Scout Dana 44’s and planned to convert the rear to discs and install ARB’s, but was thinking an 8.8...

    Diff Wagoneer/Scout Axles and 33s

    I am working on my axle build (shoutout to @coldair for sourcing my front axle) and have most of the parts (see the list below for the plan). My concern is the lift, width, and tire size looking funny. Is anyone running 60" axles on 33x10.50's? I would switch to 35s but I don't want to cut my...

    drum to disc

    Someone posted about a drum to disc company called TMG. I think. Please correct if I am wrong. I forgot to save the link and I like what they offered at the prices they offered.

    Rear bds springs on front of cj7

    Would like to go with wider springs on front of cj7. I have 4 inch bds rear springs I would like to use instead of buying yj springs. Will this work? I know spring pad will have to replaced and have hangers that will fit. I can remove a leaf if needed. Currently has a 4 inch lift. Advice appreciated

    what front disc brake calipers?

    I'm looking at replacing my steel braided front flex lines and calipers. What brand calipers are you guys using? I have a Dana 44 front axle with the standard caliper right now. My front left has a lot of drag while the right will spin freely.

    Front shackles tilted wrong way?

    I'm rebuilding my '83 CJ-7. I've installed the OME YJ leaf spring conversion including new front shackle hangers. Please see the pictures enclosed, it seems the shackles are hanging the wrong way. Is this because the springs are new or there isn't really any weight on them? The shackles are...
