The Renegade Rescue

[Jeepbonehead]

AKA "Project i brake to much"

Well we all know the renegade was the worst thing Jeep ever did to the wrangler, so i was born to save this one. Here was my last pic post off the old sis

The rebuilding station

Front axle, axles and knuckles off waiting for large wire wheel

Heating-Units for winter working

Old Knuckles just pulled

Knuckles after wire wheeled and painted

old Calipers, waiting on new ones to come in

Rotors and hubs. Will scrap the rotors and buy new ones and wire wheel and paint the hub to match the rear

Any of you whom have removed a kingpin feel my pain 7/8 allan + 3/4 drave + 4' cheater bar = still not budging

old beat u-joint, buying new spicer joint next time i'm at Levines

This is the rear, waiting on full spool in mail, will finish wire wheeling and painting after perched are on. Front will match this soon.

beloved wire wheel, finally got larger wire wheel for angle grinder

3 of my best friends for pulling apart 1978 axles


There are more pics in the old thread but more pics will come as i do more work. I have the BTF stretch kit and am ready to put it in except for some last parts and a little more money

All painted

That shit was shiny!!! What did you use to clean it, wire wheel, flap disc?

[Jeepbonehead]

twisted wire wheel for the housing because of the aquward shapes and flap disc for the tubes.

[Jeepbonehead]

+ about 4-5 hours of your time
