Perfect. Thanks for the step by step.Those park brake shoes look fine. Take some emery cloth to the lining to clean them up with some brake cleaner and tighten the adjusters. Turn them until you get a slight drag.
It will be there. I may be pushing it for the exhaust work but this weekend I hope to have it back up and running. I haven't even test fitted the muffler since I've been dealing figuring out the rear brake line / went camping over the weekend.I’m anxious to see your rig at Slick Rock.
Forgot to ask, how was the glamping trip?Perfect. Thanks for the step by step.
I haven't touched drums since my old YJ so it's very foriegn to me. (Trailer doesn't count since I bought a whole new axle brake kit.)
The only reason I had the rotor off was because I need to flip the backing plates side to side for the wizard brackets.

It was fun other than the fact that it was really hot even at night. We spent most the day sitting at the lakeshore and once the sun went down retreated to the AC in the RV. It was so hot we didn't even have a fire.Forgot to ask, how was the glamping trip?
We hung out by the lake Saturday too.It was fun other than the fact that it was really hot even at night. We spent most the day sitting at the lakeshore and once the sun went down retreated to the AC in the RV. It was so hot we didn't even have a fire.
The RV was a fun experience which we want to do again. Next time we'll likely rent the next size up so we have a bit more room in the dining / sitting area. View attachment 173371
My current thought is to hold off installing the rear antirock until after the outboard is completed. Unless I guess correctly on placement the lower weld on tab would need to move and I don't feel like grinding it off just so I have it for one run.
Man... I'm glad I don't love in Cali. Here, I'd drive it with only the downtube. If I got pulled over, I'd get a repair and report ticket at most. No fine.A few more items checked off the list.
I expected to need to drive to the exhaust shop for work once I was done but I couldn't have placed the cat's connector flange in a worse location if I tried. I guess I'll have AAA tow it to the exhaust shop for me. The fine for driving it on the road is likely more than the cost of the exhaust.

I live in CA. I've driven at least 20 rigs to the muffler shop with no muffler and never got so much as a sideways glance from a member of Law Enforcement.Man... I'm glad I don't love in Cali.

It sounds like you have quite a long loud roadtrip in your future. I have to say though the 4.0 sounds good straight piped.Exhaust is my next big hurdle too. I cut mine same place you did. I live in BFE Arkansas. I don’t have to worry about a ticket from the police. But the nearest muffler shop is over an hour away.
I would trailer it down there before I called AAA.A few more items checked off the list.

I thought of that but since I don't store the trailer at my house it's a lot more inconvenient to pick it up. I have the premier AAA account so I'll only be using up one of my 6 yearly allowable tows.I would trailer it down there before I called AAA.
Totally makes sense, I thought you had it at your house, we haven't used our AAA cards since we got rid of our Range RoverI thought of that but since I don't store the trailer at my house it's a lot more inconvenient to pick it up.
