how the heck did that caliper set up cost you $400? i just priced out everything and its less than $200

 

[Ford78]

Sorry I was just guessing. I added what I put in to mine came out to just alittle over 300.00. That with new rotors,loaded calipers bracket for conversion,banjo bolts and brake lines.

Oh ya. You got steel braided. Those aren't cheap. For your front axle, did you do it the same as the rear? Meaning both caliper lines meet at a T in the center and go straight up? I wanted to do that for a clean look but I haven't seen anyone else do it so idk if it's a bad idea

 

[koa's93ranger]

Nvm. Got my answer. Apparently full size broncos do it all the time

Its pretty much a mall crawler right now. Need to swap my rear gears yet, modify my crossmember and get a front drive shaft.

Getting a buzz box. Wish I could afford a mig strong enough to do 1/4" steel. That would make life so easy

That is a sweet looking bumper. Very nice how it just flows into the front crossmember. Buying a winch for that empty spot?
