That thing is gonna drive better than a brand new truck when you are done with it. Nice work.

 

Thanks Mike I can't wait to get this thing on the road after all this!

 

Black and Tan has been out of the shop for a while. We are doing some performance upgrades on the '97 XJ. Hoping that next up on the Black and Tan is going to be an Edlebrock Thunder Series 650 CFM offroad 4 bbl to sit on an Edlebrock dual plane high rise and headers. I am getting mixed signals on fender exiting headers. I am being told they won't work and I'm being told they will. Anyone out there have any experience on this?

 

Warn lock outs are in:



A little extra royal purple before buttoning them up:





All finished:

 

Throwing some new brake pads on:



Lubing the caliper pistons a bit with brake fluid:



And everything back in place:

 

Nice work, one of the best documentaries I've seen even for such a basic task. Wish someone would cover a 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton brake conversion like this.

 

Got the diff cover all sealed up
