You going to tracks? Trying to make RCP's head explode?

Haha you guys said it not me.
Pulled belly pan covers off skid Saturday. That much dirt trapped inside.
Here's Scott and his wj

Everything is burned in on track bar last is 1/4" caliper spacers and bolt it all together
Wrestled the new tire on I've only done at tires so wanted to see if I could do this tire, yup its doable and seated bead with trail pump.
I'll be packing tire irons and plugs and big patches in the jeep now.
Still have limit straps to do. It never ends.

Yes it worries me.
Hp44 is 500. Dana60 alot more, super duty 300 and zero axlevtube to build on my time to revisit this all again priceless.
Cross fingers.
Part of my issue is width. I'm running utv trails 3" wider and some I cant

Which steering brace did you go with? I know hydro assist takes pressure off of the gear box... so maybe it isn't needed. I like the idea of a hidden winch/ steering brace tho. Badadfab comes to mind
Just get a custom axle made with 1 ton stuff and narrow tubes. It’s going to be where you end up if you have to have UTV trail access. It will save you money in the long run.

When you upgrade to the akebonos, I highly recommend the powerstop refurbs that come powder coated red. If you go through 4wp there is no core charge or return. (Feels like I've shared this more than a few times but still!) I've heard of others taking in the teves for cores elsewhere and getting denied due to them clearly not being the same.
Both cleared my 15" steelies. Aside from the design to stop warping rotors, I also like that the akebonos have the little aluminum slide thingies, spacing the name.. where the brake pad rests on the caliper? My teves had little notches top and bottom on both sides, that is common for even stock xj calipers, that can be fixed with weld but I'd just as soon not worry about it again

I was thinking about upgrading. When I picked these wj parts I picked the rig that had what looked like the best rotors. No lip and had thick pads.
These are braking well. Though the caliper mounting bolts backed off. I've already orderd longer bolts I couldn't find them local. So looks like the waiting game again.
Driving around town this thing feels all around more solid brakes better steers better and I think rides softer. Almost feels taller to.
Less clunks and noises to.
Ohhh the best part I think axle seals might actually be sealed in the front.
Going to have to address lighting soon. Most the corner markers are gone after the last adventure.
Since I can't drive it for a few days and have a thing for white parts I think I'm going to clean up Calipers and turn them white.
Think I'll get new brake parts as needed.
Think I need a master cylinder and vacuum booster thing first.
If you keep saying it I'll eventually do it

I'm not made of money either... the teeves served me we for a few years... had one sieze and force my hand. 2 dual pistons are still a big upgrade so no rush
