Projects to complete before NAC-Fest....

[MoparManiac]

Well, speaking of Colin's progress, I suppose I'm getting there too.



Also, got an Aussie for the front axle this past weekend. Another thing added to list of to-do's is a rear disc conversion. Have an 8.8 at my house with discs, so I'll be going with that. Just need to order the teraflex spacers to go on the rear alloys when the bearings/seal get pressed on, and then that's as good as done...

Rear disc was well worth it and not too hard. I have it on my XJ44. If you need any help let me know!

I think I should be all set. How difficult was it to open up the center of the 8.8 rotors? Or would I just be better off getting the ZJ rotors and not deal with it at all?

That would be an important thing to do, since you need to be able to see where heck you are going!
