brakes
 
my front calipers are starting to go bad found out by driving a good distance then stopped and noticed smoke was coming out of both wheel wells up front. so i know i need new front calipers and rotors since theyre now warped. so what calipers brake pads and rotors are good to use? this will be first time doing brakes, also since im replacing the front brakes am i better off doing the rears now or just waiting till they need to be done?

Check these guys out in the vendor section. Cheap, haven't bought from them yet. Plannin on it in a couple weeks. Front brakes are really ease..

By all means, ADJUST the rear brakes. The factory self-adjuster is a joke.

I recently replaced my front disc pads, adjusting the rear drum shoes had at least as much improvement. No more rear wheel locking on gravel roads. Much higher pedal.

That is a crazy cheap price.Crap rear ZJ rotors on E-bay are $40 each shipped.It's like getting FREE upgraded rotors & pads.

WOW.

For the rear, go ZJ disc's.Easy,cheap & they are AWSOME.
