  • CJ7 Master Cylinder replacement??

    So when I had Four Wheel Doctor help me with my tranny getting divorced from my engine (they have since worked things out...) the main guy up there (Mike is his name?) told me I have no brakes. well I should have just had him do the master cylinder right there because he was not kidding around. I thought he was joking but holy crap I have no brakes.
    Driving through LA traffic with no brakes at all....VERY flipping scary.

    Anyways Im looking around for replacement parts..... Im sure somone out there has experience with this one.... any out there to avoid? any of them kick ass? any good upgrades to consider when redoing this? Is it a pretty straight forward "Do it yourself" deal or something to left to the pros?

    Thanks a ton!!
    1983 CJ-7, I bought her when I was 15, she's my baby

    Navajo brakes are a sweet up grade.....$$$
    Alot of guys use a combo of corvette, YJ and FSJ brake set ups but if you just want plug and play check out Navajo

      Look at where you'll eventually be going with the rig. If you're going to stay with 33" or smaller tires, do the '79 Firebird MC swap (lots of stuff on the WorldWierdWeb on this) or whatever research determines is this weeks "best choice"

      If you're looking to go Dana 60's, 35"+ tires, lots of (heavy) armor - save yourself the hassle. Call Van at VancoPBS and go Hydroboost. My YJ is on 37x13.50's, D60 rear, D44 front, lots of heavy armor and racking, and 4 wheel disc. It doesn't stop as good as the Boxster - but it stops better than any other 4WD I've had in the past 32 years
