Great lookin jeep, love it. Wish mine was that sharp

 

nice work so far! I used to run with just one hook in the front also, it works fine even pulled 2-3 friends out with it.

for your front fenders id recommend going to your parts store and getting some door trim, makes it look a whole lot better

 

That does look sharp. My dad has been bugging me about putting something there. I'll try it. Thanks.

 

So I learned 93 brake pads don't fit a 89 (1/4" too long). I want to use the EBC Greenstuff 7000 but they don't make it for my year. I have 2 thoughts now: 1) I still have until Jan 31 to return the pads I bought, and then just get generic pads. 2) Go to the junkyard and pull 93 (or matching year) calipers and see if they fit my 89 so I can use the EBC pads.

BTW, you can put the pads in backwards on a 89 so the steel side is facing the rotor. I learned the hard way. Good thing I haven't yet installed the new rotors I bought.

 

Nope. Later model calipers are not compatible.

 

Wouldn't you then have to change knuckles? Then you might as well do the wj swap and upgrade the brakes the big way.

 

Yep. You are correct, the knuckles are different.

 

Finally replaced the harmonic balancer that was coming apart and new seal. Took 2 days but the next one will probably take an hour.

 

My buddy just put a D44 in his. He gave me his old C8.25. 27-spline, Alloy USA shafts, Powertrax No-Slip.

 

Installed... mostly.

 

That things a beauty! loving the color and wheels as well!

 

My wife hardly let me drive at all today.

 

Grand Cherokee brake mod is done. It interfered with the body in a couple places where a little hammering was needed but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Just need to bleed the system tomorrow.

 

love the look of your rig. I really like the silver/gunmetal gray color too, it looks great without all the ugly stock trim on her lol.

 

Thanks. I never thought of it as gun metal grey. I'm going to start using that.
