Well I did not get my brakes finished just quite yet, one day I might confess to how I did not measure the Transfer Case output correctly but not today lol.... so I did get the rear axle re welded and am ready to start welding the caliper brackets in place but that is going to have to wait a few more days as I have to borrow a welder, I sold my old welder when I went to Afghanistan with the intention of buying a new one on my way home.... funny how that didn’t work out

Very nice...... are you using compressed air to activate the piston to get the mounting bracket in exactly the right spot?

And I knew your new garage was big, but holy , dude........ a forklift???

well I got the brake lines hooked up and the driveshaft hooked up as well started filling the master cylinder and pumping on the brakes and I remembered that I have not taken care of the residual pressure valve yet, so I need to get that out of the way

Got some more work done, the track bar is coming together faster than I thought it might. Trying to decide how I want the front attachment to look on the end of the tubes
