If you do this I have a brand new 95 YJ master cylinder in the shed.

I actually bought a 1995 ZJ Brake Booster, it bolts right onto the YJ bracket. Only thing is I think I have to modify the arm that goes to the actual brake pedal. I think its a little too short compared to the YJ one. Because the 95ZJ didn't have a manual option so the booster sat flush on the firewall. Its only a couple inches short. I would need one of you guys though to cut and welder the arm off the YJ to the ZJ one to get the proper length.

It has the master cylinder/resevoir/lines attached.

Does no place sell 95YJ Boosters new?

Sweet. I ate pancakes that were as hard as rocks and watched football.

Looks like fun times!

Wish I could say the same. I pushed the dead weight that is my jeep up the hill of my street until I could turn it into my driveway. Then up my driveway which is probably about 30 degrees of incline. I had to line it up and roll in backwards across the street and get a running start. My neighbors must have thought I was crazy took a good 3 tries haha. Surprised I didn't give myself a hernia.

I bet you were glad you had a good alignment. That could have been ugly.

Who wants to come over and weld a nut to a stripped out torx so that We can remove it?

What are you trying to remove?

My method is 100 percent foolproof if you follow a few simple rules.

If a Torx fastener even grins at you sideways during the vast majority of any installs, grab a sharp 5/16's drill bit and drill the head off and no more. Do this to all the fasteners that give you crap. Remove whatever they are holding on and then take a pair of needle nose vise grips to the little stub sticking up (thus the reason for not drilling any more than you have to) and twist it out. Works every time, all the time

Won't work, these things are TIGHT inside of the threads, almost as if someone took make a gasket goo and put a bit inside of there. The last 1/8" gets really tight.

what do you guys say about this online store?

I have been searching for a deep oil pan for my 32rh swap, and havent had any luck. summitracing apparently dont offer them any more.

I called all the SD dealership none of them are able to figure out why are they not in stock in any of the US dealer except two and those are in the east coast.

Probably have loctite on them, apply heat and try when hot, loctite lets go when heated a couple hundred degrees

Summit has this one now, looks like the same pan and fits a Torqueflight A999, give them a call.

Guess I can finally bolt my tranny back to the crossmember:

Got them from Ababa Bolt in El Cajon, $0.50 a piece. Got lucky though because it was my first time, guy waived the min $15 card purchase fee. Real grade 8 USA bolts
