I'm waiting for the original owner to get on here and say he wants his truck back. LOL. Are the Brakes upgraded? That was and still is my only complaint about mine? Whenever I get more cash I'm upgrading my calipers to Willwood or similar

I'd love to chat with the orig owner - have a bunch of questions for him, as related to the build (like, what the hell did you do with the radio antenna cable, and does this thing have an aftermarket cam (cuz she lopes pretty good at idle)?), so I hope that happens...

As for the brakes, yes, it's got Baer calipers and rotors front and rear - and I can say, they work awesome! I assume he got the kits from RPG, since so much of what is on this truck is RPG.

Welcome! I'm also in Phoenix AZ and driving a Gen 1 I've owned for 8yrs. Any chance you were active in the Jeep community in AZ? I used to have a built TJ and your username looks familiar.

Nice truck, congrats. They have been trying to sell that unit for a while. I bid on it a couple months ago but they wouldn’t budge off the price. I’m glad you got a deal, it’s a great truck.

Hello - No, I've never been much of an 'active in X community' kinda person. I have frequented a few different Jeep forums though in the past, but I do not think I ever used this username.
