Hey, guys. I deeply apologize for the lack of updates. I've had some life-changing family events the last year, including a death and a critical illness, among other issues.
So, to those who have been encouraging, thank you very much - its greatly appreciated.
To those who are obviously irritated, again, I apologize. I meant no harm or malice. I didn't ever imagine some would be so angry because it was delayed...
I hope to get back on my feet and get this finished. It was so close to done that it frustrated me, too, to not have the time to just put this project above all else in life, but, family is priority. Like I said...I'm not a big business. Just a guy trying to do a project in between work and life and raising 2 awesome boys. Thank you to Eddie and the WAL staff for providing the forum for me to share my thoughts. Not giving up on this at all. Just needed time to refocus. Thanks again...

It's been almost 20 months since this thread was started and ........... in the meantime Dynatrac has come up with the game changing Brake system that some of us were hoping this project would turn out to be.
Glad you're back but not so much now for your brake ideas.
Stay healthy.

Yet again, I'm sorry. It is very apparent that I have pissed some people off by the scathing sarcasm displayed above.
I am wholeheartedly appreciative of this forum and its support. I apologize that my project got delayed. But, to be bluntly honest, my family is more important than anything else in my life. To those that understand this, I hold up a Jeep wave. To those that don't and only see me as having inconvenienced you, well, I don't give a crap. Again...family comes before any project in my book.
Have a safe and happy holiday. I wish you all the best. Thanks again for those who have offered your kind words and support.

I don't think you have pissed anyone off. It was the false hope.

Well said. I think a lot of guys were really anticipating your results for an affordable big break kit that wouldn't break the bank. I think it was more anticipation of the final result and then frustration when it never came.
I hope all is well with you and your family now and that you can resume your hobby.

I'm not one of them. I knew he would never come through after the first couple months and the huge rambling posts with no information. Everything was a secret instead of just posting his findings.

I know there were some set backs but did you ever figure out which master cylinder would work best? I'm running 79 dana60 dual fronts and late model 14b dual rear. I got a part number from jeep(68091278AC) that my dealer has listed as "heavy duty" but that's all the info I have on it. It is available to... Any help would be awesome

Welcome to WAL
For the master cylinder and booster, MOPAR also released P5160050 that shows as "brake master cylinder and booster kit" as optional component for their new Dana 60s they just released. Not sure exactly what it is but based on fact that the new MOPAR Dana 60s have RAM 3500 brakes I'm guessing it is a larger bore master cylinder/booster that bolts right up and helps on the larger brake systems.
