If 4" drop brackets improve ride on 4" of lift, I see no reason 3" drop brackets wont improve ride on 3" lift. The issue here is not whether drop brackets improve ride at x" of lift, but that drop brackets are only COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE in 4". Kinda strange that with all the fab work going on...

The Assumption is that with both the oem and the upgraded booster you can generate sufficient pressure to achieve lockup. This assumption goes away if you significantly increase vehicle weight or tire diameter (note my previous caveat). So for simplicity we'll use your example; I lock the...

You can probably search the long story/details. You are changing nothing on the brakes themselves. The OEM brakes are marginal stock, substandard with any weight/tire increases (read unsafe). You want better braking performance you need to improve the calipers/rotors/pads. The booster change...

Uh, now you're getting me confused. If your vehicle is an 89 with the single diaphram booster, locate a dual diaphram booster from a 96, along with the attached master. Should be a $50 part from the junkyard. The only fiddling you will need to do is bending the brake lines to fit the new...

I think its the 96 booster that is a bolt-in. Others need some sort of linkage adjustment. As I've ranted about before, this will NOT improve the brakes.

Had the same with 89. So bad you could smell the thing 30ft away in a parking lot. Changed all the fuel lines, no fix. Finally had a shop smoke test it. Small leak in the rubber filler hose, tightened clamp. So far so good.

I guess I cant argue too well against "I want cheap". Theres cheap stuff because people are willing to pay for it. I dont want junk, I want stuff that works, is reliable, and gonna last in the long run. If I expected to sell off the jeep in a couple years I wouldnt care. I rely on this thing...

The fan relay should be around the front left fender wall. About 1"x1"x1.5". Four wires; red, red, black, orange. Crimp a splice connector onto the orange wire with +12v and it turns on the fan. If you have a lighted switch, one goes to +12v (fuse panel tap), one goes to above orange, the...

If you tap in prior to the relay the switch wont be carrying much current, if you splice in at the temp sender I think it is then carrying to current of the fan and might need to be fused accordingly. Dont know, just guessing. In my splice the switch is just running the relay, so very little...

Look into Recaro booster seats. They are not the cheapo bottom pad only, rather they are a full frame seat that uses the factory belts to hold the seat and child in. They have a large head restraint with side bolsters that keep the head from banging side-to-side. My only complaint is I wish...

Dont have the vehicle here to check which wire to tap into. But, if you get a stock switch, a rocker with the light in it, all you'll need to do is tap into the correct wire, with +12v, and the fan will override on. It will continue to operate on its temp switch, and also, the light will...

That doesnt upgrade (or improve) the brakes. The root cause of problems is the brakes are inadequate. They wont stop larger tires or heavier vehicle well, which requires more pressure. Whether you cobble something together to generate more pressure or not, the brakes are beyond their scope...

Yep, overheating the breaker in the switch. When it starts to blink off just stick your finger behind the headlight switch knob and feel the metal post. It will be hot. Poor ground, dirty connections, generally junk wiring. Headlight relay/harness will temp fix. Ultimately, replace all...

I always assumed that the OEM wiring was sufficient, maybe not much buffer, but sufficient. Big mistake. Preparing the vehicle for increased electrical demand, I decided to check the OEM stuff and upgrade where needed. Sheesh, the OEM stuff was melted with bare wire exposed over a foot of...

Theoretically this should work. The point being to restore the stock angle. The reason everybody says it can only be done for 4" of lift is because 1) the ones available on the market drop 4", 2) they dont consider making your own a viable job. Fab your own for 3" (or better yet, the length...
