    It was a precut kit from either greatlakes offroad or copperhead fab. You just bend the bottom into the "V", and weld it together

    Are you going to leave the plactic on so they don't get dirty rolling around your shop?
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    I like your old tires just fine myself....

    But those look good too.

    The new hummer tires dont have nearly the tread (wish they did), but I can them easily enough from several places. I got these from Trailworthy fab for $100.00 each. They said 75-95% tread, and these look to be about 80%

    What did you do for the linkage from the pedal to the booster?


    I've started my hydroboost planning this afternoon.

    When I measure the old linkage from the brake pedal to the master cylinder in the original setup I measure approximately 4 inches from the center of the pedal stud to the mounting surface of the master cylinder.

    When I measure the hydroboost setup it measures approximately 6 inches.

    The rod in the hydroboost doesn't appear to be removable on my unit.

    I suppose I could cut and weld it but wondered what others have done.

    I got my hydroboost originally for a CJ7. Elliott (from here, ebay, FSJ.org and other forums) had a kit with everything.

    I never got around to hydroboosting my CJ, so when I got the 715, I contacted him, and had a new bracket made to mount the HB to the firewall. Everything else was a direct bolt in. If you are looking for ease, contact Elliot, he can hook you up. Otherwise, there are places that make adjustable pushrods.

    There are certain things that I am willing to whip out the tape measure and tools to fab. This was one of them that I was happy to purchase and bolt in.
    Thanks, George

    I haven't had a lot of time lately, so the axles swap has gone slow. I am just waiting for a set of wheel bearings to come in, and I can button it up and bleed the brakes. It had all new joints, steering, bearings, etc. Hopefully it will out last me

    Thanks, George

    My buddy tig'd the steering linkage, so that will be done today. I was shorted one wheel bearing, which I hope will be in today. If it does it will be ready except for bleeding the brakes

    Thanks, George
