Just couldn't leave out 5-90 and Ecomike (more "pillars") of what makes this deal work. Mike is not here on CF, his 02 sensor stuff on NXJA is supper.

Try this....drive it a block or 2 turning left/right and return to your house but do not apply the brake pedal, use your parking brake instead. Jack it up and spin the wheels to see if excess drag is still there. Most discs drag a little after being applied and released and as the vehicle moves without the brake applied, there's enough flex that the rotors push the pads/pistons a little farther apart and there's very little drag.

Thanks to everyone's help, I can yard logs twice the weight of the Jeep up a 45* slope trough brush. (even if I did have someone to film the yarding, it would be too dangerous).

I remember doing the same thing without any blocks or pulleys. however, I had a 3/4 truck and was too young to give a damn. I did break the front driveshaft after it started wheel hopping and I didn't let out. I had another so I swapped it where she sat and finished the extraction.
