In my Jeep parts trading, I came across someone who is interested in unloading one of these:

He said price would be negotiable, had it up for $800 and no one wanted it.

What do you guys, especially those with tube experience think? I was thinking I would tie it into my tube rockers and tie them to my stiffeners. Eventually make the tube extend out to the front and tie into the front bumper and unibody plating. Also, make a halo that the follows the roof line on the outside.

Or buy a bender.

Strip your interior out and drop it off to M4.

Thought about that. But I'm in the wrong state, and I wanna do it myself... or at least be able to participate haha

Once I have the custom inner I can finish assembling the front. Placing a Summit order Friday and all parts will be had to finish the rear.

I missed this

Looks good. I love the high roller paint job!

Fun.

Since the 1/4" side to side the caliper slides will be the difference between the banjo hitting my leafs and not... It will be slid all the way to the left in this pic, correct? Seems like that will be the way it moves when the piston pushes out. Might be able to shave a little off the banjo head...

What's a leaf?

[KingtheZJ]

thats what you get for running that narrow shit :flipoff2:

looks good. caliper will move to the right as the outer pad gets worn. keep that in mind.

[Harrison]

Sorry I don't want the trackwidth of an H1 on my XJ 

It looks like the banjo will interfere with the leafs about 1/8". I think I might be able to do some creative grinding to deal with that.

Someone suggest u-bolt elminators to deal with the caliper bolt removal issue, wish I had thought of that before I half welded the perches on.

could you clock the caliper  bracket the other direction for better leaf clearance?

Tried, perches are nearly square with the bracket bolt pattern so it's close to symetrical. Essentially gains me nothing.

A caliper with a top banjo like the Ford twins have would be mighty nice.
