Ben and Kami’s TJ Overhaul

[benjy]

The culprit was a bad master cylinder, jevyguy and I Lean are my heroes :bow:

just an fyi when i charged my last coilovers they rose the jeep like and inch and a half or 2 inches so if you want it to settle 2 from where it is now it might be tricky not sure if all them do that though.

Interesting... didn't change anything on ours

Perfect!

To get it on the trail, I still need to wire the radiator fans and figure out an overflow bottle, charge the shocks and bumps, tie the B pillar together, install seatbelts, install hoodpins, have an exhaust built, and brakes...

Done and done

We're all loaded up for a shakedown run. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

WOOT, congrats Ben. Always a great feeling to get it out the first time. Where are you heading? Enjoy.

I also like to run a 2# check valve in the rear.
Love the trailer

Hot damn that's a sexy rig!! You did an amazing job Ben-Jammin'! Now let's go see what she can do! :greg:

 

[Herzog]

Way to go! We expect a full blown trip report.

 

[benjy]

Thanks all, we'll be sure to get some good action pics with all the good and bad from this weekend.

Farmington, NM. Kinda far for a test run, but we're stoked

I also like to run a 2# check valve in the rear.
Love the trailer

check valve for the fuel?

The enclosed was a last minute decision after seeing the weather forecast. We had to do quite a bit of work to get it ready, but it was worth it. She pulls like a dream.

So excited!

 

[Bart]

Farmington ROCKS. Great testing grounds. Have a blast.

 

[waynehartwig]

Very jealous!

 

[neagtea]

I have had good luck running a 2# check valve on " rear disk setups"
It seems to shorten the pedal travel by holding a couple pounds on the rear system.

Just because I'm incredibly impatient and know that Ben is unpacking right now instead of down loading their pictures, here's a teaser picture:

That doesn't even look broken. What kind of teaser shows no breakage?

Don't worry Carl, there will be some pics with minimal rubber on the ground.

That sounds better.
