Ruffstuff won't be taking orders for new axle housing until August.  Going to attempt to use a standard F9 rear to fab a front.  Then swap parts over to Ruffstuff housing when available.

That's so funny...
I have the same seats for my 6.... Bought them 4 months premature and they came in 2 days.


I've had them in my YJ for 2.5 years...   They are great.. You will be very happy.. And your ass is smaller than mine

Shed some weight by swapping to 3/4 ton calipers and rotors by using TMR brackets.  Only hitch was the need to drill out the rotor stud holes to 11/16".  Same plan for the front.

D44 rotor on the left, D60 rotor on the right

11/16" with the studs that came in the hub.  There is a 5/8"(?) shoulder between the knurled portion and the flange.  Stock rotor was not a press fit so I opened up the replacements.

Besides, they're out-of-stock on the JB site.

I was stuck buying Tera B/c I'm dealing with a scout case..

I do t take much of the opinions on JF seriously, but some of the users posting are intelligent.
