Interesting, I did not know Teraflex produced one for the FC :thinking: Nice find, that should look cool with the 170 sporting a tire on the side of the bed all "old school" like. That was one of the things I used to love, for some reason, on old step side pick up trucks was the tire right behind the cab bolted to the bed.

Same here. I was really sad when it wasn't on the jeep when I picked it up. However it was in the for sale pictures. He said it got lost.

After driving on the brakes for longer than I should. I order new wheel cylinders, brakes, and all the springs and hardware from Crown. The drums are still in good shape. ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1415031350.695787.jpg

Nice. Should be stopping better now.

Any engine shots or a pic of the oil filter housing?

Well, it stops... Just not really fast.

I'm going to swap the master cylinder out with a wilwood dual and see if that helps.

I don't have any new motor shots, oil bath is on the top right, red canister
