Then I'd say go for the 44. But aren't those JK 44s like only an *** hair better than a d30?

Well, I cleaned the rotors and pads with brake cleaner, I also made sure brake fluid levels were full. The brakes wont stop the vehicle from a 5mph roll. Brand new rotors and pads up front thats all.

Still the pedal goes all the way to the floor with no pressure. Im going to bleed the brakes and try to replace all of the fluid with nrw and see it it helps with the pressure.

Any input?

when wiring up lights for a roof rack do you connect them straight to the battery or a fuse?

A fuse, the lights should come with a fuse holder to connect to the battery.

You can run a hot wire off of the battery with whatever size fuse you need in it and go from there, or tap into another circuit. Don't forget a relay

So even with the jeep off the peddle didn't get firm. Maybe vac leak.that or maybe it's time for dual diaphragm upgrade.

Like Will mentioned...

I STRONGLY recommend that you wire your lights like this.
