Nope never bled brakes before.... but I have read all the tutorials I could find so far. Well the Ebrake is not working even though the cable seem to be tight and after I removed the drum, I had my son press the brake pedal and all i would see was a small movement on only one part of the shoe... like I said I got it to learn so i don;t mind taking it apart.
As for the drums at checker, i will check that but they said they charged about $25 to turn them and I see some new online for less than that so I was wondering if it was worth it.
Anyway thanks for all the advices

Got the roof rack completed and mounted this morning. Stout as can be, I can grab the rack and rock the whole Jeep so I think it'll work out pretty good.

Thanks Ryan! Cant wait to see that tailbone installed, you've got me leaning towards going that way with mine. I want to beef her up without completely abandoning the clean stock look.

So ya I paid;
Tailbone- $280
Backbone- $385
Total shipping- $83 (I figure about $45-$50 to ship the tail bone)
Plus he gave me $25 off for ordering them both at the same time!!!
Grand total of $723 not to bad it you've priced some of the other bumpers!

Sweet, thats super reasonable on the shipping. Thanks Bro! I'm thinking I'm going to go with the Tailbone, the more I look at their setup, the more I like it, I just wish it had a built in hitch. I'm thinking this front bumper

That thing look beefy!!! Well knowing the tailbone pretty good... I'd say it wouldn't be hard at all to toss a receiver on the system!
Wasatch steel even sells premade receivers to weld onto it!

Cool, I'll have to look into that, I want to lose the factory hitch as it hangs too low and looks like crap. Wiring hookups all jacked up anyway since I bounced it off a rock at Lil Moab, ha ha. Good times!

Sorry to keep buggin you with questions about the tailbone, but...... I was looking on the website and in the pics I dont see anything holding the hinge side of the tire carrier down on the spindle. Am I just not seeing it, is there a nut that holds it down? Again not wanting to be a bother, I just want to make an educated purchase. Thanks man.
