1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ - Big Mini: Part 5 - Four Wheeler Magazine
We got the Jeep to flex almost 24 inches in the driveway, and decided to notch the frame to clear the high-steer drag link. That gave us the clearance for the over-the-knuckle mount and the super-high drag link. This build was supposed to be a month-by-month series, but many of you probably noticed there was no installation last month. Now that the flames have been tamed and the parts started showing up again, we were able to get back on the project. But now that we’ve got most of the major components in the Jeep and the lion’s share of the welding and grinding done, we are able to run fluid lines. The worst thing you can do is run hoses right past where you need to weld a shock tower on—so we held off until now. In this installation of Big Mini, we fix some things we didn’t like in the brake system and button it up. We mount coolers for the transmission, power steering, and engine oil, and string up those hoses. And, we’ll share the routing of our hydroboosted, cooled, and rammed power steering system. We started up at the top by tossing the factory proportioning valve in favor of a Wilwood Combination Proportioning Valve (PN 260-11179). You always want 100 percent of the braking force going to the front brakes, but not the rear. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
