Good luck!

Also, a bit of advice, upgrade from the single piston calipers to the dual piston calipers from a Grand Cherokee. Nice upgrade and it will help with larger tires.

Sweet, send me a pm if you need some numbers. I'm running a very similar setup. Should be fun when its done.

What is your plan of attack for high steer?

Good luck

I already have the hawk pads for a single piston Cherokee. :-(

I ordered the same one you did after reading thru your endless build thread. Lol

Im still lost about the steering setup. I've been looking thru alot of explorer sas builds. Is the stock linkage really that weak?

Well I have some bad news. The rentals told me if I do this sas project to my truck I have no place to live. Looks like I wont be starting until I have a place on my own. Screw sending all the parts back. They're all paid for.

Good to hear that you got this going again! Tip on the steering for you: 99 and later WJ Grand Cherokee has a factory OTK/ crossover setup, plus the bigger brakes that you were looking for. I am currently doing the same thing to my 84 BII, so if you have any questions, I might be able to help as I have done this to several XJ Cherokees in the past.

the only picture i have is the burnout video on my profile. got a mazda for the build. 94 4.0 5 speed. i just had the rear frame redone due to rot at the rear spring hanger. have to take her in again for a patch job on the frame at the filler neck.
