One day headed back from wheeling which already went bad because my hub exploded my tire decided to fall off and roll down the road. well the weight of the jeep landed on the drum and bent it and everything inside the drum fell apart I was going to rebuild it but decided to just swap over to disks so i pulled a rear axle from a zj at the junkyard and swapped the brakes over

so when youre upper ball joint lets go you have a very big mess especially when it happens in the middle of a mud hole

i had to do all kinds of fancy stuff to get home its a good thing it wasnt far ratchet straps and bailing wire are your friends

I also modified the air box so it intakes out of the cowl. I sealed all of the holes in the box and used some RV sewer hose to go back to the cowl
