      The tag on the brake caliper says "In racing and off road applications, inspect caliper after every use". So you get out and check your caliper each time you step on the brakes??

        I think I only have to worry about the label after I put a LS3 or LS7 in it in 2015!!!!

                  What are your goals? Are you turning it into a rock buggy?

                        Dang! Is this a TJ or LJ? If that's a TJ, that will be quite a stretch! I look forward to seeing some photos of it done, or seeing it in person :-D
