Wilwood calipers also just arrived. Now the rear can be completely done.

You know just cause the Jeep has 6 pistons in the engine doesnt mean each caliper needs 6 pistons too. Holy overkill! What size rotors are you going to use? I like it! And nice update on your sig haha.

rotors are just 13.5. Was just going to use the standard brakes, but got a good deal on these

Ok I think it's back now? I have no clue what happened. Maybe a mod removed it for some reason?

I think it's a glitch on the forums. I've noticed at random times signatures don't show up.

Rear axle about ready to drop in. Just need to finish the brakes and swap to a 1350 yoke. Full floater, 5.13 gears, ARB locker, Yukon 4340 shafts, and Ruffstuff cover. WMS is 66" and the custom front will be around 67. So I'll definitely be wider but still not potato 69+. With the backspacing on the methods should be just about perfect.
