4.0L HO Jeep Engine Build

Great info oldmoparsrule! The 4 wheel ABS has been handy in the past on this vehicle on icy side streets and this is a daily driver. I'll have to rattle this around in my head for a year or so. I just did the rear brakes with NAPA's super duper pooper stopper shoes and new drums. We'll see how this stops while hauling a pop up camper. It weighs about 900 lbs. so it should be a good test.

The brakes really are not that bad, even with the leaky rear cylinders but the worn suspension was exaggerating some ill manners. This problem may be resolved once the build is done, we'll see. Interesting thought about the F350 master.

The stress is all work related. I don't get paid nearly enough for what I do and although I'm thankful I'm working, these last two days have me about stressed to the max. :violent2: Let's just say that low level management sucks tailpipe, lol. I was fighting Memorial Day traffic all day too and all I can say to out of state people hauling trailers... GET A TURBO DIESEL OR YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT UP THE MOUNTIANS DAM IT! :toothy10: OK, I'm feeling better now..

I am glad you are doing better...Work stress sucks, especially in a down economy with 12% unemployment. Like You, I am thankful to have a job!

I did not do any brake upgrades to my XJ. Even running the 35's, I did not feel like I was lacking. Obviously, I would allow for more space, and did not drive it like it was on rails...but I definitely did not baby it either.

On the traffic note, I used to live in Aurora...I can definitely relate to getting behind folks who cannot climb hills. Seems to be the same folks who cannot drive in rain, or snow...AAAUUUGGGHHH. Ok, now I feel better also 8)

Thanks,
OldMoparsRule!
