JMcFly’s XLT Simple Restoration and Mods

[JMcFly]

Brakes all bled again. I did all 4 corners so I have fresh fluid in the system. I suspect air made its way up into the front of the system when I had the axle out. Pedal feels much better now. I did notice the and light is now on.

I will want to rebuild the front brakes at some point. I have mismatched calipers. One newer and one old/original. Discs are crap, bearing caps are probably leaking.

by this time next year I’ll have the entire suspension and brakes fully rebuilt.

New tires put on and even a matching spare.

Found an original lug wrench, extensions in bag, and document for the jack while at the junkyard dropping off the old rear end. Also got replacement bolts for the seat since I’m missing 2.

Not bad.
