I count 7 levers total lol.... it’s a lot but I think the cutting brakes will make a big difference if I can get them working right. Need to find the correct fitting for the brake caliper then can bleed the brakes.
Anyone know what caliper this is out of?

Dump out your purse the receipt might be in there with more information on the caliper.

Any more casting marks on the other side. L and 499 is all I can see on this side of it.

Thanks i ended up figuring it out. Its the same caliper ruffstuff sells so a gm 3/4 ton 4wd front caliper. Don't know the years it came on but should be a 10mmx1.5 thread or 7/16. Cant find the right fitting to go from a 3an to m10x1.5 without buying through speedway motors and paying 10 dollars in shipping for 10 dollars in parts so think I'm going to do a banjo and banjo bolt and just order both threads and try them. Calipers came with the solid axle industries full float kit with no info on them so makes it hard....

anyone see any issues with just ordering these? banjo goes to the steel braided line and then banjo bolt into the caliper?

Making progress. Ordered the brake fitting for the rear calipers. Pull both axles and got them painted with the steel it. Got the frame painted. Center console mounted and wired. Air locker hoses ran and secured. Last things are the bleeding brakes and installing axles and mounting beadlocks and filling everything. Hopefully have axle shafts this week.

 

[malburg114]

Brake fittings didn’t fit and stripped a driveshaft bolt but rear axle is in with the new shafts. I think it looks good though. Chugging along.

 

[malburg114]

This made me happy. Still needs brakes though.
Was surprised to see the rear axle clears a 5 gallon bucket besides the mounting faces and the front axle is super close. Lots or clearance.

How’s she drive?

Brakes need to bleed again. Tires are low on air but it drives lol. Nah it drives good. Need to wire the shifter switch to go between auto and manual and it’ll be done.

 

[malburg114]

Pressure bleed the brakes and their better but still soft. Think the mc is small so will have to look into that in the future.

 

[malburg114]

I squeezed it on my trailer that is way to small for it.



And then drove over some rocks.

Truck worked really well this weekend. Had an issue with the rear locker not locking but still did every trail and obstacle in 3wheel drive. Couldn’t be happier with how it all came out.

 

[malburg114]

Some pictures. Tires rub the front fenders so I have to trim those. But other than soft brakes and locker not working. No issues. I’ll figure out the locker this week and get it smogged and back on the road for more fun.

Nice Gap. Is that a local trail?

kind of local. Logandale trails. About 40 minutes away. It’s like sand hollow but smaller.

 

[malburg114]

Fixed the locker and tidied up a few things. Nice to have it driving again.

And the helper sleeping on the job.


Hopefully i soldered the seal collar correctly. Was clogged with solder and the reason the locker didn’t work.
