The Master-Pull 5.9ZJ

[Master-Pull]

This is more of a pic thread then a build thread since we don't have pics of it throughout the stages.

Emil, the owner of Master-Pull has had this ZJ for a few years now and has been in the process of building it up with some really nice parts. It has the drive train of a ultra 4 car with a ZJ body wrapped around it. The MP-ZJ is our show pony, it's clean, polished, and doesn't get beat around too much these days. We have drug it to The Hammers twice but didn't take it on too many trails because of how clean we want to keep it.

Spidertrax sent us some new front rotors for the Spider-9 that we have up front.

i have been lucky to see this jeep in person at KOH 2011.

i must say, it is an impressive rig, a very nice build.

[Master-Pull]

Thanks Andy. It's my bosses baby so I am not allowed to beat on it too much, yet.

This jeep is too good looking for us to use, it's a little upsetting.

wow that is a sweet brake set up ya got there. Silly question, do you notice a difference when braking?

[Master-Pull]

Compared to what we had before (just the regular rotors) not yet, but we only have driven it around the parking lot and shop. When we get it out on the trails I am fairly certain that we will see some difference. Between these and the factory brakes there is definitely a noticeable difference.
