Man if that shop ain't a man's dream...

Let’s see that rear bumper!

Did a little searching when I got home. You got a steal - looks like they are still out but they are pricey. https://www.bestop.com/products/instatrunk-jeep-97-06-wrangler-tj/?sku=4270101

That’s nice. These not really around anymore?

Amazing job. Even more impressive for 1st time.

Also did this and it’s great. Easy replacement just dropped in didn’t have to aim things it mimicked the original pattern just better.

Feels like its just missing something. I like the spare on the back, its iconic.

Hopefully the last time into these drums... bleeder screw was shot so I swapped in a wheel cylinder just because. Also used the NAPA adjuster kit and it was a great tight fit. The adjuster cable was just a little longer on the other set which is why it never contacted the wheel.

100% you are correct. I went back in a day later and tried to get the adjuster fitted correctly and had no luck. I'm going to swap wheel cylinders this weekend so it'll all come back out again and will try a parts store adjuster set then. Passenger side fits great.

This was my passenger side it was totally frozen. It was honestly just easier to replace it all instead of trying to troubleshoot. Also adjusting them tight made the pedal feel great, engages right away.

You dig the rear end into mud at all? Had an issue with a soft pedal after mud that caked my rear drum completely freezing it.

Had to get back into the drums to fix the adjuster lever that was dragging against the drum. Even with changing the spring connection and adding that C clamp, its still not tight against the adjuster like the passenger side. Crappy chinese parts I guess. Figure its so close that as the drums...

Oh I am not an LED fan at all. Recently replaced all my lights at home back to incandescent and have been purging LED as much as I can. Full spectrum light all the way. My Mazda has LED lights factory and it’s great being a sedan so it’s low to the ground. I see all these huge trucks around...

New headlights today after the 2nd round of caliper replacement. KC halogen lights pretty much anything is gonna be better than the old sealed beams in there. Gonna get them aimed eventually before driving it at night.

Both were replaced. Passenger one was replaced again today since it was leaking... it leaked again from the bleeder but a Dorman speed bleeder with that thread sealant on it fixed it up.
