Sold!!! See ya :NAXJA:! Thanks for the help!

Yep, it's time. I have it posted on Craigslist in Bozeman as well, here's the specs: If you're interested, I can email you some pics, I don't have the time to add them right now. We've decided it's time to sell the Jeep, just doesn't quite have enough room for a family of four and all our...

Please help me sell my truck! Tell your friends, neighbors, cousins, and enemies! Here's the craigslist ad: http://bozeman.craigslist.org/cto/1933696633.html Here's the same description, without pics: We've decided it's time to sell the Jeep, just doesn't quite have enough room for a family...

Uh, did you see these for sale right here? http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1041865

Well, thanks for all the help guys! :thumbup: Glad it started working again on it's own!

I love digging up old threads! This one is awesome, I'll definately be dropping some LED's into my tailgate, and maybe adding one or two to the interior cargo area that switch on and off with the factory cargo light.

Well, I sealed the roof rack bolts on my 98 cause my cargo carpet was wet.... bought a 3.99 tube of silicone and called it good. Threw my spare up on my Thule roof rack so I'll have more gear room for a long weekend down in the Bighorn's in WY. Also working on a sort of modular cargo area...

No offense taken- I just checked, they're on correct. I just ran out to my chiropractor, and just to be sure, I made sure that I can't lock up the tires. Not on dry pavement anyways, I know I've done it in the rain, but that takes a lot less.

Dan- you got me there. I mis-spoke. I mentioned in another spot that I did this axle swap about 3 years ago, around the same time I was doing an axle swap and brake MC swap in my old MJ. I seem to be getting them mixed up a bit. I did install the ZJ prop valve, but being unable to lock the...

So I double-checked, and I was wrong. I got my vehicles mixed up. I flared the lines on a 'Manche I built up, but sold. Funny thing was, that had 33's, a WJ booster, and stopped great. I have the prebuilt lines on this XJ, because I didn't want to flare the lines myself. I kinda forgot, as I put...

I know! That's what is so frustrating about this. I can expand a bit on my setup. I don't have any SS lines, but I do have a few lines that I cut and flared myself in the rear with my D44 install. I used the cheapo rental flaring tool, that's about the only other thing that might be suspect. At...

Yes, I removed the rubber seal. With it in, I could not lock the rear wheels even on the jackstands. Edit- and yes, I bled the brakes. Three times.

The toyota idea could work as well, but would definately limit your options. We know from the other kits out there that the dual piston calipers work fine with the stock dual diaphragm master cylinder and booster, but would a 4-pot caliper require an upgraded MC or booster? Another thought is...

The Aussie kit requires the removal of all of the XJ caliper mounts. Looking at the Go-Jeep install, you have to clean off the entire side of the knuckle. Then you pull the hub, and the new caliper mount gets anchored into the hub mounts, and has new caliper mounting bracket mounting points...

I understand that the tabs handle some of the braking force, but how do you reconcile that with the way the WJ calipers are built? I'm not sure the slide bolt mounts are strong enough either, but if you look at the Vanco kit, it appears that they machine a flange of sorts that mounts to the XJ...

Looks like the 2001-06 Ford Rangers were offered with a 15" wheel and dual piston calipers, and also have their own mounting bracket. Still looking at other options....

Specs: 98 4.0, ZJ rear discs on D44, D30 front, ZJ prop valve, 31's, doesn't stop worth crap. I've been doing way too much reading on front brake upgrade options. I learned a lot, but I mostly learned that I have more questions than answers. I'm not up for doing the entire WJ knuckle swap...

Thanks Yoss, that makes sense. I guess if guys are doing the WJ caliper upgrade and not doing any MC swap, then it isn't the MC that's the problem. So I'm going to take this into a whole new direction- but to do that I'll start a new thread and eventually link it to this one. Thanks guys-

So I've been doing some research, and these are the master cylinders I've been looking at and the bore sizes I've found. On the other hand, I haven't been able to find anything on stroke length, so I'm not sure how much bore size matters without that... These specs are per NAPA's website. 1998...

Okay, good for you, I'm glad you got a deal. I don't have the money or the time to do an entire front end swap and buy new tires and wheels. That's why, in my original question, I asked about upgrading the master cylinder- can we go back to the original question? I'm trying to be specific so...
