If you are not doing big brakes your knuckles will pay for a good D30.......that one you get free. Rear only costs you $150...............now you regeared for $150. Price getting your axles regeared.............you'll come around to the smart way of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_echo Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 4 hours ago, Jeep Driver said: DO NOT! scrap those knuckles on your existing D30. Sell those on Ebay for "big brake" upgrade. Worth about $150 for the pair. Should look like these- Why are they worth so much? I have a set on my jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go to Wilwood.com I have not installed mine yet and I won't before I finish painting my truck. I have yet to see another MJ/XJ with a set of Wilwoods.

I’m not disapproving of your willowwood brakes, they’re awesome, but it’s not something I can afford, I was shocked to see such a large price tag.
