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

 

Ya the drum brakes are set up to apply the rear pad first then the front pad will catch. If ur getting pad movment ur in good shape!

 

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.

 

Nice that thing turned out prety clean jeff!!!

Almost got the tail bone all mounted up yesterday, so after work Im hoping I can finish it! I'll try post some pics soon!

 

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.

 

i have got a bumper that i am building right now that will have stock clean look. i am building it to sale so i can make a tire carrier. i would like $175 for it.

 

Hey Ryan, I was wondering how much the shipping was on your detours tailbone?

 

Idk off the top of my head, but I will snag the paper when I get home & let u know! Or just call mark on the 606 # listed on the detours site! He's way cool & 1 hell of a welder!

 

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!

 

Damn I wish I thought about that before I painted it!

 

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.

 

No worries dude! Ya there's a bolt on top of the hing that threads into the perch... Its a beefy *** system! If u wanna check it out I'll be putting it all together tomarrow around 6:30-7:00pm ish & could use a hand! Let me know & I'll PM ya my new adress!
