Maybe for you...LMAO

I've done it, and you're right, it's a pain. But, with the right tools, it can be done. I'm confident. It will be a bit before it gets installed anyways, I have stiffies to do first. Probably do it in stages, so middles first (ruff stuff) and then the install, then the rest of the stiffies later.I also have a one ton OTK steering kit from Serious to install, gonna do it all at the same time. Also need new coils and shocks. Gonna enjoy the stroker for a bit first, LOL

I spent all winter reading and re reading just avput everything that has anything to do with my 99 or the direction im taking it. One thing at a time im working down my list. Before I bought this jeep in oct. I knew how to change light bulbs and oil thats about it. All the knowledge thats to be had is awesome. So that would mean the credit Ultimately goes to you guys. Applaude yourselfs gentleman. For a damn good brake job

Looks similar to what I put in mine. Would have been an easy swap if it weren't for sawzalling the J-hooks off and having to have a shop steam out my tank to kill whatever was living inside it.


Decided to take my belt tension gauge and tighten the belt on the '95. Didn't have the gauge when I put the belt on, so I just tightened it until things wouldn't squeal. Was way below spec, so I cranked it up to where it should be. Gotta say, belt tension on a '95 is much more of a PITA than it is on a '99.

It's a nasty line for any rig. My whole group was on 39" reds or 40" Trep's and all lifted the same tires and the same place. My wheelbase just hits two rocks at the same time and lifts it up. It's fun though.

No. Lol

Just explaining the line. Hopefully there are some pictures from the back side of the Jeep. Thanks! It's so much more fun to wheel now. More stable and I'm not worried about breaking axles unless I'm really in a bind or doing 4,000 rpm to heat up the stickies. Only thing I don't like is the welded diffs, that sucks but it was free to do.
