The thread may be a year old but at the same time, it is still up to date.

More work being done the past few weeks. Trying to solve a lack of braking problem & valve seals to cut down on the bug repellent that is produced from the tail pipe.

Have to get ready for it's annual wheeling at Jam!

XJ master/dual diaphram booster. The master did not have enough volume to finish locking the brakes, it would work to a point.....then its on the floor and you need to press further. Need to swap over to old YJ or E350, something with a bigger bore. Still kinda figuring that out. We had a plan to copy Bernie's Yellow CJ setup, but then found that nice big booster on Scott's parts rig, and I though we should try it out. Didn't work too good.

Now why anyone would see a lack of a braking problem as a problem to solve is beyond me... Must be a CJ thing.. "Damn this stops good... That can't be right."

Somehow I seem to have missed this thread completely? Nice work guys! She looks great!

Lack of brakes was a constant theme on the CJ. The 11"drums helped some but you had to clean/adjust them after every offroad trip and the fear of someone cutting you off was forever present!
Several master cylinders were tried, with varying degrees of success.

The shifter was an acquired taste

Also worked as a security system! You should have seen the pinto shifter with the home boogered linkage that came on it originally!

Shifter is long gone! I have a Mr Gasket shifter with linkage now, no more cable & combination lock like shifting!

Chev trucks and newer Blazer /S10 masters have a big bore (1 1/8th?)with a straight mount, not angled. I have one I'm not using. Any booster that fits should work. I went with a 9" dual diaphragm booster and an older generation Blazer (small bore) and I've got more brakes than I need. I also have Toy brakes so they're not huge.

I picked up a Master cyl for a 1979 F350 from UAP Kevin. bolted right on just had to do some very fine adjusting on the push rod. Think it was only $75:00 or $ 80:00. Notice a big difference in the brake power not much on the pedal height, still stayed low to the floor

PS. don't for get to use your Jack stand,

I remember that... some bad words may have been uttered as well!

Shifting really was an arm workout!

You know... I have a vague memory of some reversing misadventures and an abandoned vehicle...
