Well with the one piece needed to start this dang SFA swap that should be cut and formed and hopefully shipping the first part of of next week,I'm running around trying to get the little things taken care of.Got my custom PS pressure hose made,cost some $$$ since I had to buy 2 lines to have one made to convert from the KJ's PS pump to the Ford PS gear box.The return line is to easy since it can be hose clamped on.

Now to go out and measure some brake lines and guess at the lengths I may need,better get a few choices since the braided lines I'll be using are fairly cheap.Guess if I'm slow at work tomorrow I'll also ream out my pitman arm to accept the 1-ton TRE's(what a pain :twisted: ).

Overkill, yes, but atleast it will do anything he wants, is if he ever manages to break anything, the extra money he put into it covered all the lifetime warranties, so he wont spend the money again.

Your jeep is lookin' good on those trail pics by the way. 8) I might have to sponsor an SFA KJ invitational out here one day. Really put these things to the test. :twisted:

Overkill isn't a bad thing at all. I doubt he'll break much of anything on it with how it is built, but anything is breakable. My jeep should be "done" this summer. We'll see how things go.
