do what I do when Alex and Krypto use terms way above my head, just copy/paste their words and cross your fingers there are no follow up questions. or send a link to this topic.

awesome!! make sure to add all this info into your build thread.

wait, that's the same as Don's and he has the d44. every one is measuring center to center, yes?

we thought about that, but members in canada seem to be so far apart that it just didn't make sense so we ended up just asking people to put their location in the title.

yup. our stuff got updated just before your issues arose. but we can't go back, so we're stuck. maybe you can email tapatalk and let them know of the problem.

that looks fantastic! what did it run?

that sounds like a lot of fun!

we once owned a turbo PT Cruise with a stick. it was a blast to drive. but sometimes the torque steer was a beast to control.

you aren't the first, you won't be the last to snap that little guy. It'd be awesome to have a list of things that others can try. thanks!

nice! welcome to the modern world, Pinky!

I know I'd drive it it's a Bucciali TAV or some such thing. V-12 with front wheel drive! must be interesting to control if you punch it. only 3 known to still exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucciali

if the width is similar to the grand waggy, then a mid 90s Isuzu rear 44 could be used to match bolt pattern. no matter what, it's still going to be low pinion front axle.

anyone?

I believe "properly welded" is the key there. how good are your welding skills with a stick buzzbox? I have neither a good welder nor a bender and so I found a local guy that had both for my rollbar. I kept my design simple (4 bends, 4 notches) and it was very affordable (I did all the prep work and built the mounts myself). you'll need a front hoop, a rear hoop and some runners. in its simplest form that's 4 bends and 6 notches. add in a couple diagonals and you're way ahead of the game. Just remember that your cage is only as good as the mounting points so give them some thought.

can you write up a small DIY thread on your victory, cataloging some of the various methods you tried and then what ultimately succeeded?

that's great news!

wasn't me! just a portion of a thread I salvaged from a member who left.

that's pretty dang cool!

copied from a lost thread (aka: not mine)

are you bleeding it properly? there's a specific method for bleeding the MJ. should be a link to the factory steps in the link in my sig

added to the master index

it's about as easy as a conversion can get. plus you can practice on the ZJ at the junkyard! https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/rear-zj-disc-brakes-cherokee-xj-chrysler-8-25-a-57807/

yup, pics and do one side at a time so you have references if needed. autozone should have brake tools in the loan a tool program.

swap in disks. and I'm not kidding. certainly not for a hundred bucks and to still have drums in the end.
