brakes

I have a 1997 TJ that came with ABS. About a decade ago, I disabled the ABS by pulling the relay when I replaced my Dana 35 with a Dana 44 that did not accommodate ABS. The rest of the ABS is still in place. I have been running a 15” Big Brake Kit for over a decade as well. I recently started having...

I don’t know if this has been asked before and I couldn’t find it in the thread list (new to the forum lol) but I have a ‘03 sport that I’m finally starting to get fixed. I was looking for new caliper mounting bolts. I checked Mopar, and it came up as the same bolt front and back (5253000). In...

Hi! I have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. It is stock I believe. It needs new brakes. Rotors,calipers, pads… the works. Is there some better than others? What should I get? My current set up leaves heavy brake dust on the wheels. Not sure if there is something that can curb that. It is my daily...

I recently purchased a 1997 Sahara and I’m pretty much redoing everything on it. I’ve redone everything on the motor and now I’m going to the brakes. I noticed the pads on the left front were fine and the pads on the right front were down to the metal. I replaced the pads this evening and I’m...

Not too long ago I snapped a brake line trying to replace my wheel cylinder on my drum brakes and we decided to replace basically everything past the portioning valve. I replaced the steel lines front to back, and replaced the brakes themsevles with the full brake system kit from black magic, so...

97 4cyl manual all stock except some late 90s bumper and wheels. Had the Jeep since the fall, brought it into a mechanic who said overall it's fine and didn't notice anything that needed immediate replacement. Previous owner was an older guy who took pretty good care of it but didnt have service...

I will be converting my 99 super duty dana 60 front to an 8x165 lug pattern with a custom-built hub on my 1 ton Lj. What I am trying to find out is what brake rotors I can use that will match the dimensions of the stock ones but will keep the new bolt pattern. As far as my research goes, the...

I recently had my brake pads and front rotors/rear drums replaced, as they hadn't been serviced in a while. The mechanic had to flush the rear brake fluid as well. I noticed a new chattering/chirping noise at lower speeds that stop as soon as I apply pressure to the brakes. I took it back and it...

Hi everyone! I'd like to upgrade my brakes on my 00 TJ (~96000 miles). I use it as a daily driver and I'm on the highway a lot. I'd like to decrease stopping distance and just feel a bit safer. It's lifted 2 1/2", and has stock 31 tires. I believe the calipers, rotors are stock as well/haven't...

Hello Everyone, New TJ owner here; it's my first car ever. Happy to be a part of this community! I've recently noticed that when releasing my brake pedal, there is a single click sound. It sounds like it's coming from inside the vehicle. Does anyone else experience this or know that...

Hello all, I am currently planning out a 4BT swap into my Jeep TJ, and thus need to find an alternative way to provide vacuum to the braking system, I was wondering what other systems people have used, like has anyone used the vacuum pump from the JK for the TJ. Don't really want to go with a...

I have a question concerning the replacement of the front brake parts. I have a 1997 TJ 4l 6 cycl. I recently purchased it a so don't know the past history of repairs etc. I had a local community college do a vehicle inspection on it an it came back pretty solid. Most issue was the replacing of...

Hey guys, New on this forum. Have been researching what brake rotors to purchase for my 97 TJ. From the great information I have read on this forum you have to measure the hub and rotors. For 97-99 TJs hub should be 1/2 inch and rotor 3 inches with rotors being composite. Anything after the...

So I've had a consistent pulsating issue with my brakes for a while now, they still function and stop as they should, other than the pulsing pedal. Initially I thought it might have been bad calipers, so I replaced both of them. Pulsing persisted. Over the last week I've replaced my entire...

So, a couple months ago I completed a TOTAL brake system replacement...EVERYTHING was replaced. Master cylinder, power booster, proportioning valve, lines both hard and rubber, calipers and wheel cylinders. Now, I attempt to bleed the front calipers after my daughter telling me her Jeep pulls...

Seems that as much as I look over the forums about brakes the more varied answers you get as to what MC and BB you can run. I'm running 2008 SD 60 and Sterling 10.5 under my jeep and some people are saying their stock MC/BB work and others are saying Old corvette/durango/ford van swaps work. But...

So I have 35s on my LJ and I just had my hopefully last close call on the highway due to my crappy oem brakes. Anyone have suggestions for brake upgrades? Ive seen black magic brakes and I can’t afford to spend over 1k on that big brakes kit Would getting just these pads and rotors for the...

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here. I live in NY where they use a ton of salt and dirt on the roads and so I have some rusting issues. My main issue has been with my e brake. The mechanism that engages the drum brakes at the wheel rusts and locks up preventing me from using the e...

Machined weldable tabs for 3/16 hard lines, drilled and tapped. *Cost will be updated when the machine shop gets back to my supplier. Could have a batch going through the machine shop in the next few days. Looking at ordering 100, 200, or 300 pieces. With the higher probability being 100 pieces.

I’ve had this issue for a little while now. It only happens right after i start the jeep and go for maybe a quarter mile. I’ll hit the brakes and a loud bang or clunk comes from the bottom of the jeep and my rear wheel locks up completely. This usually goes away after I brake a couple times...
