Yep she's all good now! It was actually way easier than I thought! Took me about 45 minutes. Dropping it off at the shop tomorrow!

You the man! Knew you could do it. And look at the bright side.. You have new brakes! It's alot on them to get those 33's stopped. I know I felt a difference in mine when I put my 33s on. Could have definitely played a role in that old caliper locking up.

Where did you go to buy your parts? Is that with a core charge for the calipers?

Jeep isn't finished yet shop is super busy. Will be gone tomorrow morning thru late Sunday training. Picking it up Monday. I am also considering getting some Dick Cepek DC-2 wheels for the jeep and selling the ones I have now. I think those DC-2s look sick in the gunmetal/black finish! Thoughts?

What kind of LEDs are those? I've been taking a hard look at Rigid Industries' offerings...they look AMAZING, but the price reflects that!

Rigid industries are super pricey, and these work just as fine. These are off www.superbrightleds.com. Check them out. I paid $59 a piece for these lights (2025 lumens each). The lightbar I got off eBay for $140

I didn't put them in myself, my shop did it but I assume they're just like reg lights. Now the HIDs I did myself so if you're talking about replacing the headlights I can tell you how do to that
