truely not sure why everyone says our stock breaks are inadequate, i could lock up 33s on my other xj no problem. my xj now cant lock em up now due to abs. i think everyone is too used to brakes on our new cars that u barely push the damn things and almost get whiplash if your not expecting the sensativity. its understandable that xj's are older tech and dont have great brakes but they work just fine. if my yota was able to lock up 37s on factory brakes then i gaurantee my jeeps brakes are just as safe with 33s
My jeep is the newest vehicle I've owned, I'm not used to driving new cars, I have driven many cars from VW jettas to a CTS. My jeep has the worst brakes of nearly all of them. My buddy's accord which is OLDER than my jeep has far better brakes and stock is only 300 pounds lighter. Brakes on XJ's suck, that's all there is to it. Once I swap rear axles in hoping for better performance with discs.
