Brakes!

[lakev2]

So far for me 35"s auto and 4.10 gears stock brakes work good when in 4 low. I think if i put a 4:1 kit in the tcase, then i would have issues.

Most people I know with 35's with an auto had to go to vanco brakes. Ron it has to do with auto verses manual.

Thanks for the heads up Curtis.

Or a bunch of torque with the old 4.2 and a 3 speed auto and low gears. Great compression. Perfect till its in 4 wheel low. Brakes work great in high range or in neutral.

I am sure someone else will comment and clarify. But, to put it into neutral instead of gear has to do with the exhaust pressure line? Not enough pressure? Could be hole in the line or low compression? Have it checked out Mitch, safety first

If you really want the Jeep to stop go vanco brake booster and calipers and never look back. Got one of those boosters to work on a CJ and it's nice to lock 35's up at will

As the proud owner of the above mentioned CJ... I can say without a doubt that Vanco by AW12345 is the way to go!

I will also say that if you are not a "brake guy", I would recommend having a "brake guy" do this work... Stopping is not something to be taken for granted.

Let me clarify my situation. I replaced my master cylinder with a unit from Navajo Brakes (505 325-5761). On the street I can lock up my 33's, but in low range 4 wheel drive I have to kick the trans into neutral on a steep spot sometimes to hold the Jeep in place. It's a lot of fun on a steep switchback (New Dixie). 2 cents worth. the Navajo unit was a direct bolt on item.

Brake dust and dirt are different. Ill take dirt over brake dust. Brake dust makes your wheels looks ugly.. And it's a sign of the pads wearing. Among other things.

I thought I read you fixed your brakes. Bigger master cylinder or something?

If they made the Yellow Pads for my 88YJ that is what I would run. Problem with dust? I have that problem every weekend on the trails! Too funny. Good luck, mine doesn't stop for Shit. Kinda scary at times.

Pep Boys said $111 for the green 7000 which are tow and the upgrade is $140 for race. Is it worth the extra as Napa severe duty for towing are $89? Anyone use both before to compare? Both are organic?

gonna go EBC yellowstuff in front and green in back with Centric premium rotors!!

As a previous poster suggested, PM Mr Blaine and discuss with him your plans. Sounds like you are willing to spend a few dollars and the conversation will help.

I have had yellow pads for about a year, no dust and noise. People who have problems with them don't break them in right.

I use EBC Greenstuff series 7000 on my front and they are quiet and dust free. I haven't had to change my rear pads yet, but I intend to go with Greenstuff when the time comes.
