Aspen Disc Brakes

crackedback, to me you've hit the proverbial nail right on the head about the sources. I've said it in another thread, I'll say it again: Ehrenberg knows enough about liability, probably thanks to the mag's lawyers, to cover his *** with swaps. Hence one of the reasons he's always throwing on disclaimers about brake hose routing in swaps like this. The disclaimer is there to cover his, the mags, and the publisher's collective asses if something may possibly go wrong in one form or another.

Want more proof of this? I'm not sure of the exact date on the mag, but there was a letter to him from a reader about putting a 360 in a Wrangler. His response was to tell the reader he wouldn't even advise to do the swap because of the nature of putting a V8 into something that unstable. Really? How many V8 powered CJ's, YJ's, etc, have you seen out there? How many times have off road mags done builds like that or featured rides like that. Hell, didn't the factory build a 4.7L powered Renegade not too long ago?

Ehrenberg's advisement of not using the F,J,M set up for spurious reasons comes down to living in a litigious society and the real reason is CMA.
