I have had the gatorback on my jeep for 2 years now. Absolutely love it. Im still using it even though my idler pulley seized up on a 200 mile trip. It just glazed the back of the belt a little bit, everything works perfect still and it still looks good.

I had finally got around to installing my AutoPal E Codes and Putco H4 harness today, It took me about an hour to install the harness and Headlights along with adjust the headlights.

Well now im stumped. Feels great when the jeep is off. No air anywhere in the lines. No leaking from booster. As soon as I start her up brakes go to the floor. I put the *** end on stands to see if they still work, which they do. Im not sure what to do

Replaced my front brake pads. It's a temporary $20 fix til I can afford to buy pads, rotors, and calipers. It got rid of the squeaking, so I'm satisfied. (As always, thanks 96xjclassic!)

It could be a permanent (well semi) solution if your rotors play nice with your new pads. Those caliper need to go though. Oh yeah, your welcome.

Hear ya bud, I've spent more money fixing problems then what I paid for the jeep which was 1600. I've got new pads and drums on the rear and I have a god awful noise coming from them and they tend to lock up. Gotta love jeeps
