Don't sweat the CV axle...though it does help if you've got a friend to help...you will need to unbolt the strut and the ball joint from the control arm, undo the clip that holds the brake line and be careful of the abs or speed sensor. I've done mine 3 times now ( only one original boot left) and really had no trouble just be creative in the bad words you use while doing it. OH! and don't forget to curse all automotive engineers. remember to use your torque wrench when you put it all back together.
as for the brakes I've got no comment yet as that's on my TO DO list as well. I did find a good video on youtube showing both rotor and brake pad replacement.
BTW I'm very envious of your truck.
Did you keep the templates of the brackets you made up to install the Jeep bumper?
IF you posted a drawing of them with measurements. I'm sure lots of guys would be most thankful.
Oh 3 times?? Wowzers lol. I will definitely be keeping those tips in mind while doing it. I have not found a video detailing the change but I'd assume its not that bad. I know I can ask Allof75 for help since he has the same kit I am going to.
Uhh yeah I do have my template still but If I was to post up a picture it would be very different and there would be two versions. There are some design changes that I will make if I ever bump the thickness up to 3/8". For example, my
mounts look basically like a pistol if you are looking at the side of the vehicle. The |''''' shape mine has means it has a weak point if I were to pull at a very downward angle... Think like getting stuck going over a steep hill and need to get
winched over the ridge. Now, I have helped that with the addition of the skid plat but just a little. If I were to do them over again (I have the metal sitting the the garage, just not wanting to spend the money to get it cut) I would give the
mount a triangle shape like |/. I would cut grooves into the main bumper so the entire front of the bumper had a nice / shape to it. The gets rid of any weak points (although much heavier) but also allows me to weld angle iron on the
backside of the mount to attach a bolt on skid-plate/splash guard. I have the new template made from wood just hanging out and will only change to it if my version 1.02 doesn't work out well. The triangle would be version 2.0 since it is
a very large change haha. I could post that template up right now but then you all could be running around with my design before I do haha.
`
I can message the template I have now If anyone is interested but since all these photos get on google images without us being able to stop it, I wouldn't want someone using the design without even reading the thread or visiting the forum.
That may sound weird to some but when I am fabricating something...even as simple as a mount... that is my time and effort put into it. I have no issues giving it to any forum member since many of you guys have guided me through this
whole build-up. But to give it away to anyone who google images the term "Pathfinder R50 Bumper Mount for XJ bumper", that would feel... IDK, just not for me. Im all for sharing and giving to those who I know, have helped me or vice versa,
but not just giving for no reason.
`
Ill get off my soapbox haha, thanks for the compliment though! If you ever need me to try and make a template for, I have this awesome foam stuff I get free at work that works amazingly well for this kind of stuff and am always looking to tinker
on a new project.
