Has anyone come up with an idea how to mount a bigger master cylinder onto a WJ yet? I'd like to do this when I upgrade my axles and get rid of the ABS at the same time.

Post some pictures of the WJ setup. I will see what I can find.

It'll have to wait till I get home to take the picture. I'm sure someone on here has a picture of the WJ setup though or could take a picture.

I have a GMC 1/2 ton Master cylinder in mine. When I upgraded my brakes, I scrapped the abs also and I wanted more stopping power. I also used a GMC 1/2 ton power steering box, but that is gone now...I NEED hyrdo assist :D All in all, the swap was pretty straight forward and done in INDIANA by stewart motorsports while I was deployed. I couldn't be happier.

Oh yeah, my rear rotors are 12.5" and the front are 11.3", so I needed that extra uuummmmppphhhhh to help me stop. I do tend to veer to the left when brakes are slammed, but I believe that to be an alignment issue...seeing how as I have never had her aligned. :)

Well seeing that my ultimate stopping point is going to be with 37" mtr's on 17" rims I'm going to put the rotors out of a new dodge ram on the axles which will make them 13.4" front and rear. I believe that it should make it a ok daily driver. Rizzo do you know what they did to mount the master cylinder to the booster?

I second that :?: :?: :?: :?:

Why would I do a WJ Knuckle conversion on my WJ? And why would I do that to a HP44 from a Ford?

Who ever told you that you need a knuckle conversion is a complete MORON. I have had my shit done for a while and no knuckle conversion was ever done...it is unnecessary $$ spent. I would rather use that $$ for something like...say ROCK PROTECTION!

Do not listen to this crap...it is not needed.

That's ok, Jim...I was just stating that it is not necessary.
