    CJ5 1 Tons, power brake conversion

    Reopening this since I never really got an answer. Everything is installed with factory master cylinder and manual brakes. Need a solution now, how do I know what brake booster and master cylinder I will need? I've read I can potentially use a C3 MC with a booster and residual valve. I currently...

    75 cj5

    Picked the CJ up yesterday. It's in a bit of a rough state and needs more work, really disappointed with the shop. It's a month and a half over due and still not done, finally just went and got it so I can drop it off elsewhere. The rear frame still needs to be fixed as you can see in the photo...

    108" looks to be the sweet spot, just waiting on brackets for the links and everything will start getting attached. Ordered some PRP seats and will also be doing an entire new cage in the process which will include seat relocations to allow for sliders and more leg room. Sent from my iPhone...

    Can I build my axles?

    Yes I will be going with 40s. That's one of the things that makes me nervous, this stuff isn't cheap and I don't want to be throwing more money than needed at it. Just going to stay leafs for now, in 5-10 years I'll link it and hydro steer. If I could get to 102" that would be nice but I'd...
