    Intermittent Soft Brakes after Axle Swap

    I initially posted this thread in association with what I assumed was vacuum leak. Was actually just a slightly stuck cable on the TB. I recently finished a JK Axle swap and am having very intermittent issues with my brake pedal going soft and to the floor. Can pump the brakes back up and...

    What’s your favorite brake rotor?

    It’s time to replace my 2004’s front brake rotors. Is there an upgrade that has proven to be better? Is there a pad/rotor combo that is more than just high-tech looking, but actually has better longevity or performance?

    Going from a 3in BL to 1.25in BL do I need new brake lines

    As stated in the title and from previous advice i am lowering my TJ from a 3in body lift to a 1.25in body lift. I will still have a 4 in suspension lift though. Do I need new steel lines for this? In my head it makes sense because lowering the body would then lower the master cylinder and move...

    97 Wrangler handbrake

    Just put new brake shoes on my jeep and now the handbrake doesn't work. Looks like the adjusters are all set up. I can't imagine what is wrong. Any thoughts?
