finally got completely fed up with my rear brakes, they got to the point that the stopped working completely so i started gathering parts



all I'm waiting for is my buddy to finish machining the disc's then i will install them

 

all done and o my god what a differance :drool:

 

Are you doing 4 wheel disk? I have an 89 and I would like to do that to mine, if so, whats the cost you got into that, and how much time involved?

 

i spent about 6-8 hours doind it but that is because i took my time and took lots of pics and i have just under 300 into them

 

Is it just a matter of exchanging drums for discs, shoes for pads and such? Sounds like something I'd like to do.

 

its alittle more complicated then that

you need to change the proportioning valve and the master cylinder as well

 

small update

finished fenders

cross brace

some guessets for added strength

 

almost forgot

the bottom of my tail gate rotted out and i couldnt find a good deal on a new one so i converted to a pickup style gate

thanks heath for the gate





i think im going to mod my cage and redo my rear bumper so i can clearance the quarters, and while i am doing it do a small bob, like 9.5in

 

made a half top out of a extra i had



might try to make a rear window for it later but for now it is all good

 

I've gotta say, I'm impressed with all the work you've done...especially all the welding and fab work. Keep up the great work. Damn, from the very first pic of the post to this last one, you've done a hell of a job. Sweet rig!

 

x2 for sure.

 

Great progress. I really like the exo cage idea for the top and that half top. Looks really good.

 

Good job on that 1st gen. I love the 1st gens. Making great progress fast. AWESOME

 

thought i would share the carnage

lost a few peices on the trail
