Another quick question:
When looking for the parts online, the price for a set-up from a 2004 WJ is MORE than double the price. Does anyone know offhand if any of the years the WJ was in production that the price would be lower?.....I know that sounds weird to some people, but for those of us who have been around, sometimes years matter.

1999-2002 WJ factory brakes are Teves (not good). End of model year 2002-2004 WJ brakes are Akebono (good). This could account for price differences.

Ok, well I figured that I would head to the JY and find the parts there. If I can't find an 02 to 04 WJ, then I'll break down and eat the added cost. I have a parts list I need from the JY anyway

OK, didn't do too bad. I've searched around online (here, parts stores, craigs), and I've looked at JYs around me (they are all pretty stripped). Found remanufactured parts that will have to be shipped, but all for under $200 so now I play the waiting game.........WHY ARE THEY NOT HERE YET?!?!?!?
I'm not good at the waiting game
