Some of them, but not all of them. It depends on what you are wanting to use.

You guys know if the Ebrake cables are the same for the C8.25 and the D35? It's a '99.

For drum to drum or drum to disc conversion? If it's drum to disc, no. If it's drum to drum.... I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they're the same.

TwistedWrench

Yeah drum to drum. Swapping the D35 for a C8.25, and of course the cables were just cut on the new rear.

Basslicks

Looking at the Rock Auto website, there doesn't seem to be a differentiation between d35 and the 8.25

So I think you're good, man.

But just in case he should just do a disc brake conversion... and get the cables for that

Basslicks

lol..... I remember him already saying he's not doing disc conversion yet. Truth be told, with the dual-diaphragm booster and the 31" tires he's currently running, properly adjusted drums with new shoes will stop him just fine anyway.

The single diaphragm such as is what's on my Jeep right now coupled with drums..... SUCKS.

So.... I gotta paint the beast. I'm starting to get a few small rust spots I need to address before they get worse.

Currently it's Matte Black. When I had it painted, there wasn't another vehicle to be seen with matte paint, now I can't go 1/4 mile without seeing one.

What do you guys think? Leave it matte black, or go back to Gloss Black.

I'm on the fence because I like both.

I still have the grey trim that was on the lower edge of the body, but I'm not feeling it.

If I possessed the skills I would consider the Monstaliner that guys have seem to be doing there Jeeps with lately. There is 4dr Wrangler type Jeep, not sure what they are called these days, at the local dealership that appears to be Line-X'ed. Pretty bad looking.
