Jeepman's Mj Grows Again


Recommended Posts

Yup It is a soft tri fold Extang trifecta. It wasn't easy

to find the right fitment. This one that I am most happy with is

From an 04-10 canyon/Colorado.

 

As for where I got it well it came from my distributor.

 

And thanks the rims are better looking then I expected they would look.

I already have a WJ front D30 so I will be installing a set of Front WK SRT8 front Brembo's and custom make caliper brackets, it should actually be pretty easy but that will have to wait...

 

I recently lost #2 Cylinder and exploded the piston so I am expediting my 4.0L stroker (4.7) right now and Trans mods...

I really like the 18" rims and 35" tires.  Looks awesome.

With the 18" wheels, it really opens up the option of front brakes.

Your rear's are ?14" rotors.  You have to go 14" or 15" front rotors to keep a balance?

 

Here is what I am putting on the front of 'RaceJeep' that we street and autocross with-

2013 Jeep GC SRT8 6 piston calipers and Shelby GT500 14" rotors (5x4.5")

Looks good but I will be good with the matching front WK Brembo's and will upgrade all rotors to drilled and slotted eventually.

 

I will look into the 2013 calipers if they are 6 piston as the 2008 is only 4 piston front and rears.

Would be interested in the pistons you used.  Looks like a bigger dish than stock - perhaps Hesco pistons for the supercharged engine?  I still need to figure out what I want to do for pistons in my stroker build.  Know I want to keep a stock cam shaft, just for reliability if nothing else.  Looks like Hesco roller rockers also?

Reconditioned the Head with Larger SS Valves (supercharging at a later date) and I think machine work for the valve springs otherwise nothing major as I eventually planning on an Aluminum head down the road so testing this setup first...

 

Was going to do a full port and polish but heard mixed reviews and since I have been eager to get my Truck back rolling I wasn't too worried about it right now...

 

OH and installed Harland Sharp Roller rockers
