Impressive Joe! I'm surprised the box didn't die sooner from turning those 38s

I hope you have your flame suit on...

Thanks Jon. I did the Durango swap on my XJ. Definitely has more power than the stock unit. But this can not be done on '03-'06 TJs without fab work... I was also wondering about the PSC warranty. It doesn't seem that good... "purchaser should contact the outlet where they originally purchased ...

My Rubi has a small leak on the steering box input shaft and I am thinking of replacing the box. What I've learned from web wheeling is that the '03-'06 TJs use the ZF box while the earlier models use the Saginaw box. The consensus is that Saginaw is a better box and PSC makes one. So what did you g...

Ryan, I can bring my slide hammer dent puller to the fall meeting if you want to try it. I've used it to pull the dents out on my doors. It only worked ok after using up all the glue sticks and broke most of my glue tabs.

Very nice John!

Sounds like a fun project. Let me know when.

I didn't take a lot of pictures as I was having too much fun wheeling....

Thanks Frank! Hope you could make the next trip.

Rented a caliper tool from AZ. The brakes are running cool now. Parking brake will hold in "D" and "R" but not too good on an incline though. Oh well...

I might have to get some speed bleeders...

Yep, the smaller '79-85 version.
I use this kit. http://www.tsmmfg.com/2562_44.htm

Kurt, I guess the bleeders are on top but slightly below the piston? The way they are mounted on the TSM brackets the bleeder are pointed down and definitely not on top. :doh: I hope I didn't get my left and right mixed up. :? I put the one with an "L" on the casting on the driver side rea...

Do you use the parking brake often? Often times on the integral calipers, the brake will hold up due to the parking brake mechanism than a hydraulic issue. It doesn't take much movement of the arm to invoke a drag. Make sure the E-brake lever is retracted all the way, manually pry if you have to, a...

Joe, the Caddy calipers are like new - less than a year old. These are not re-manufactured units. They do have e-brakes incorporated. Jeep has good stopping power and the e-brake works. If I jack up the rear and spin the tires, I can feel more drag on the left than right. The left do spin but just n...

A couple of weeks before Fall Crawl I noticed my brakes squeal at low speed. I thought the pads just needed some anti-squeal compound. While airing down at the Crawl, I found out the left rear wheel was really HOT from 20 minutes of driving. However, it didn't get hot on the trail though. My assumpt...
