Hell yeaaaaaah, that's why I'm doing it is for bigger brakes I hate how much force It takes to stop fast. Still need to convert my drums to discs though! Looks like I'm going to the JY on the weekend.
And thanks Barrelmaker for that, I would've bought the the link and TB and been like 0__0

Not today but yesterday, I deleted the c101 connector to being straight wired with solder and heat shrink. So far so good, some improvements in start ups and even the electric windows move faster.

Did nothing except think about my steering I was going to buy the ORO kit but I don't feel like spending $600 on a steering kit instead I'm going to keep the steering I have for now and start gathering parts for the WJ knuckle swap. Could you use The Wj track bar and drag link since I'm getting the knuckles anyway?! Or does it all have to be custom made?
A 1/4 in spacer for the unit bearing as well as the caliper. Then you need to make your tierod and draglink and relocate your trackbar possibly. I am getting ready to do this same thing to my xj too.

Picked up a WJ steering pump to replace my blown out stock pump.
Anybody do this mod yet? I've read many different ways of doing it...all of which have both failure and success...seems like a common problem is the pump whining. Heard if you run both low pressure returns to the res. it helps?
Any Insite?

Noggin pokin this morning with a shop light, I discovered busted-up motor mounts. They are only six months old, from NAPA, Anchor brand.
Not sure what did it. Small jumps, whoops (speaker bar and overhead console fell from ceiling), crashing into trees/brush (this broke a new upper axle bushing, rubber part split), or driving through ruts at 35-40 mph.
I'm reluctant to go with BrownDog because it would move the weak points to the mount plates or bolts. Which means I also need the BrownDog backing plates. Which continues moving the weak point.
The good thing is, I drive in sand and soft forest terrain. If it was rock or hard ground my rig would be in pieces.
