DIY Jeep CJ Front Disc Brake Conversion under $100! Made From Spare Parts!

In this episode we make a front disc brake conversion from random parts. Franken jeep will stop amazing now and it cost less than $100! OSO The Ultra4 gets a massive shaft upgrade that doesn't even fit!

Happy birthday daniel!

Happy Daniel!🎇🎉🔥🎂🍻🤘. I'm just wondering how much deflection the backing plate will have when you apply the brakes? Maybe I'm just over thinking this🤔🤔! Love this build by the way!! ✌️✌️

[@larrysutton6530]

Happy Birthday Daniel 🎂 I love the DIY stuff it can be very expensive otherwise please share more and keep working on Franken Jeep

[@josephvonnida459]

@@wadepreston5298 I thought about that as well but those old backers off the drum brakes are pretty beefy. Not the thin crap used today.

[@oldfart43311]

I appreciate you fellas more with each vlog. Thank you and Happy Birthday!!

[@lasvegasbill4711]

It’s nice to see you guys doing engineering/fabricating again.

[@TheTuttleCrew]

Happy Birthday Daniel! I hit like and shared! Great Video⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On my 72 wagoneer I used to have, I did the drum to disk swap cheaper and it was a full upgrade all the way around! Ditched the pos d30 closes knuckle for a d44 open knuckle from a k10

Happy birthday Daniel from new Zealand keep the vids coming I love fabrication work big or small .👍🇳🇿

[@gafrers]

Happy Birthday Daniel. Fantastic job as usual.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Happy Birthday Daniel;Hope your wishes come true.(and your driveshaft too).

[@nakedbandit]

Happy Birthday Daniel. The bottle flipping in the background had me laughing. Awesome brake upgrade. Hope the shaft clears the shifter linkage when the shifter is actuated.

[@carbonshocks]

I'm glad someone caught that... Joe almost turned around and punched me - Daniel

[@carbonshocks]

Yes it does. The only spot it's tight is in park. The rest are just fine.

[@andrewstoffel1170]

1 step forward, 2 steps back. I know how that works. Nice to see some actual work going on. Messing about in a field in some old bangers may be fun but not much of a spectator sport.

[@johnclary729]

Speedway rear disc conversion bracket and the GM caliper are super cheap and made for each other and they have two different hats for separate discs and they clear 15" wheels. Not to cast aspersions on your job, you used what you had, just making the suggestion for the people who don't have brackets for another axle just hanging around.

[@carbonshocks]

We explained it was just a piece of steel with holes. We were going to make tabs which would have been the same thing.

[@jamesellison2014]

im trying to do this with my dj-5 jeep

[@jimbond24]

I realize you say the rotor is something you already have, but do you know what it may have come from? Did you modify the hub for it to slip over?

[@efrainberrios8494]

That’s the video that I always want to see!!! Thanks for posting it!, I subscribe to your channel too!

[@shanewright6958]

Great job and video guys 👍👍🇨🇱

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Ring. That. Bell. Treat this like Arby's. If you love it, and like the service/content, ring the bell!

[@garyburchett9060]

Ready to see that CJ rip.

[@CmgDeadman]

Happy belated Birthday !

[@American_Jeeper]

Cool idea, but are you going to add a vacuum booster? Seems like a moot point to switch to discs, if you're keeping it non-power, IMO.

[@hhH-dm8it]

Hola te felicito por tu trabajo....soy de México de que discos (auto o camioneta ) debo usar para hacer la conversión....quiero hacer delanteros y traseros que me recomiendas

[@dannyboy7299]

Hi I was wanting to do this exact set up on my cj7, is there an e-mail or number I can contact you for a more in depth explanation on parts and procedure?

[@justinhobart8747]

Nice idea on that brake conversion... 👊😉 4 Joe, 🎂😁 4 Daniel Okay any pointers for me to help finish the fabrication on my hot dog cart I'm working on building, LOL 🌭🤪 can't wait to sell my weiner on the street corner 😉...... 🙄 lol ... Yeah I know I'm late LOL... it's my weekend with my son.

[@AlanDavid1955]

GOOD JOB

[@lawrenwimberly7311]

I want frankenjeep… it's my kinda ride... since all my friends call me Frankeninjun due to the number of nuts, bolts, screws and plates holding me together, it would be appropriate

[@carbonshocks]

Sounds like Daniel's head seeing as though it's made partially out of titanium lol

[@bchiarmonte]

Would it have been easier to draw up and cut a custom plate on the plasma table?

[@carbonshocks]

There are a lot of things that could have been easier The point was Joe wanted to show something that people can make on their own with what they have.

[@bchiarmonte]

@@carbonshocks makes sense.

[@antoniovarela6713]

any worries about deflection in that shaft coming in contact with the rod? it would be bad news to bump them at full send. love the videos.

[@carbonshocks]

No the only area that it could potentially come in contact is when the vehicle's in park.

[@rollerdragon]

engagement ! commentary !! tired!

[@carbonshocks]

😎👊

[@janstephanusoosthuizen1549]

Please tell us which discs and caliper do you use ?
