lol thanks.

picked up a 2000 psd hydroboost setup and master cyl for $20 bucks and the aluminum intercooler tubing to redo my intake since i moved everything around under the hood for $10

 

[SAY789]

Nice score. That ought to stop you good but dont ever turn the key off while braking lol

Looks just like the booster and MC that I got for mine...Look at my thread, all you have to do is knock out 2 studs and redrill them, and it will bolt right in...

Thanks, just have to figure out what to do about the PS pump now, something tells me I don't think it's got enough shit in it's britches to run the hydro boost and hydro assist.

I would recommend against running the hydroboost and hydro assist. Not a great idea, and you don't need the hydroboost.

hydro assist is already slow even with a good pump, when you are laying on the brakes on obstacles steering will almost be impossible. Just use vacuum brakes.

yea i wasnt sure about it, i knew i was going to use the master regardless and he didnt charge me for it so i just grabbed them both.

been a long day, just got back from the hospital as the wife was having some minor contractions, braylee came 5 weeks early so we wanted to go in and make sure all was good.

If you don't end up using the booster, I could use it if you want to get rid of it...

Ditto to that. And for what its worth, the setup I'm running ('99 Dodge 2500 Gasser MC and Stock Booster) works friggin awesome for stopping my junk.

Hope everything is allright with the wife!

i did some searching and with a good pump there are a few guys on pirate running both, but im not sure what im going to do.

the hydro boost has already been called if i dont end up using it.

here's what i have planned for my tire carrier, pretty close to this but staying inside the body instead of going to the outside.

Have you played with one yet? I ask as there are several jeep people that run them around here, and every one I talk to hates it. The complaints I often hear are that

- Its nearly a two person job to put a tire onto the carrier (35+ tires)
-With a decent sized tire, its really dang hard to get it raised back up
- The mounting points (upper pins) tend to come out of alignment over time, which makes it that much harder to get the thing back up into place.
- Kills access to the rear (nobody wants to drop it down to get to the back compartment).

Of the 5 guys that I know that I personally know running that type of a setup, 3 of them rarely have a spare in there (Fat lot of good that'll do them).

I'm not trying to disuade you as I like the concep and the look, just wanting to give you a heads up. You're smart enough to make it work without killing yourslef

use a hoist to raise and lower the tire.

 

[kris97ranger]

just do it so it looks the exact same but swings out to the side... it should be all to hard.

 

[Kage]

use a hoist to raise and lower the tire.

On the trail?

Along the same thought, you could add a pulley or two outside of the truck, and run your whinch line up and over to raise the carrier back up.

But that sounds like alot of damn work, so my vote's for just throwing it in the back and ratchet strapping it down

 

[kris97ranger]

i think he meant like a boat winch to raise it back up but again... seems very over complicated and still a pain in the ass

 

[RangerSVT]

Bones has the right idea, make it a swing down (I think thats what Jon had in mind), and I would add a cheap $50, 500 lb winch dedicated to just lifting and lowering the tire carrier...
