Here we go again.

Jurt for the diam of the master cylinder pistons/ cups just take it of the booster and measure, if all else fails you can remove the clip that holds everything in. But you should not have to.
Kurt, I have a used brake master cyl that came of a C30 Chevy dually with a hydroboost, that should take care of all your braking needs. I would worry more about the stock calipers spreading/ flexing

Rear set up is mocked up just a few tweaks and it'll be ready to burn in.

Yeah, I got that covered Art. I'll be going to the Vanco system after tax time cometh.

I'm not sure the size bore, but the HB was installed by Van and his brother on my CJ. My brakes were four wheel disc with Explorer brakes in the back. I ran a proportioning valve, without one the rears would lock up. It's already set for HA steering, I had the Tommy Lee set up. I had 37's MTR's and it had more stopping power than I ever needed.

Making goreat progress this weekend. Not having a job now is a great motivator

Cut some more of the floor out today, got the rear suspension cross member mocked up, forward LCA mounts and also finished the xfer case xmember, also the finished the brake lines from yesterday.



Xfer case Xmember

Well, I figure it will get great gas mileage if nothing else. Yaba-daba-dooooooooo....

Man, working on this project is better than a stress ball

Got a little done tonight. Forward rear control arm mount/skid plate support. lot's more to do, should finish fabbin this thing tomorrow night.


It will be flanged in the middle for easy removal of the xfer case, triangulated bracing on both ends welded to the frame on 1/4" scab plates. Lowers will be boxed, uppers gusseted.6" vertical separation.

C ya'all tamaraw...

Just got finished bendng the main hoops for the roll cage. Only took a few pics for now. I'll admit I screwed up the second bend and wasted a stick of tube. I should learn to work first and talk :poop: with the neighbor after. But the hoops turned out nice. They fit perfect and will tie in to the frame real nice. I'll have detail pics later this week.

Don't flame me for the gap in the B pillar. It's a test peice





Now back to the suspension that never ends...

[inVERt'D]

I like it already!

[Geebo]

Heck there brother..looking good Kurt I can make ot out now...IT,S A JEEP!!!!

[jonah]

Man you are moving right along! Looks good!

What are you using for material on the cage? How did you plan out the cage? Pencil/Paper, software, eyeballin'?

[dirtman13]

Now back to the suspension that never ends...

I feel your pain. Wait till you get to the front. Think of it this way you could have a CJ with less room between the frame.

Looking good.

Thanks for the offer! I bought a Whale Tail spoiler to mount on top fo the roll cage for that "street tuner" look...

Well, because the weather is coming back in again I had to race home tonight and get the DS Hoop done for the Roll cage. Got it bent, cut and fit in in about an hour. Also bent my hoops for the front shocks, and a couple of peices for the roll cage. Only took a few pics tonight but will keep them coming as I build.
