I had one on my last xj from boostwerks and it gave me peace of mind but I don’t think it really did anything. What did do stuff for feeling stiffer and stronger was frame stiffeners and the old stinkyfab steering spacer that included a plate to weld to the inside of the engine bay as well as...

Leaking or bad brake booster will make your brakes go away when the engine is running. My old xj had liberty disks on an 8.25 and I swapped the booster for an “WJ upgrade” and swapped the proportioning valve guts for Wj guts and I immediately had a huge upgrade in my brakes but one day on a...

I have had brown dog on two of my cherokees and I like them. I did have to play around with how tight the bolt was. If it was too tight then the engine movement is felt thru the entire vehicle and if it’s too loose then the vibration isn’t really felt but the engine moves too much and can put...

Anyone ever rebuild one? I did a quick google search and didn’t find a rebuild kit or anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When we called Yukon they said some clunking and play is normal but this seems excessive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Automatic transmission I have a new grizzly locker in an 8.8 and it has a ton of play and slams into gear. The shop that installed it called Yukon and they said it is normal for some play. But it is a lot of play and isn’t a small clunk. It’s very harsh and sounds like someone is smacking it...

I might be completely wrong but I had the same problem in California and I just connected it to one of the ports that is or looks sealed shut. Passed the visual and pressure inspection for California but I don’t know if it is actually doing anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took everything apart on the other side and everything was good and now everything is good on the bad side too. The bearing itself is good. I didn’t feel the rotor sitting crooked or feel anything weird in the brakes the first time I installed it and had a problem. Sent from my iPhone using...

Hey I can’t tell you exactly why things turned out the way they did but this is not a bashing on timken or anyone. Just a reminder to check everything before installing and after regardless of the brand or whatever. Make sure the part is good and the work you do is complete and good. Losing a...

I just did a wj steering and brake swap and got new timken bearings from rockauto and never gave them a thought. I just installed them and ran it and within a couple miles I heard a horrible sound for a couple seconds and then it stopped. When I got back I found that 1 wheel stud fell out and...

I’ve done this before. Easy and quick with no chance of anything that breaks loose going anywhere except the bucket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[email protected] or their Instagram page is how to contact them. Not sure on prices. And I’ve done the wj swap and I’ve had stock style steering and brakes on 33’s. And to me the stock is just fine for most situations and with a zj tie rod it’s a $50 investment in the steering...

I would do shackle relocation if that’s not part of your suspension plan or kit. And I would look at filthy addictions Offroad for an option of bumper/tire carrier. And I had the wildpeak atw3 tires in the past and I loved them.

So after a swap to stainless braided, zj proportioning valve guts installed, and a full system bleed, I measured 50 kg/cm^2 or 711psi on the driver side and 43kg/cm^2 or 600psi passenger side. No reason for the new lines to break like the last two, but the pressure seams pretty low to me...

I ordered a brake pressure gauge from Amazon and I’ll try to measure the psi at all four corners tomorrow to see if it was a giant coincidence of two failing or if something happened and now I have excessive pressure in one place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
