I was flipping throught the new JP magazine and they had an article in there on an Unlimited that Blue Torch built, the Jeep is pretty sweet........they have a picture in there showing whats under the hood, and to my surprise i dont see a brake booster in the picture?? Has anyone seen the picture? The reason this interests me is because im in the middle of doing a full hydro setup on my TJ and im trying to figure out where to mount the resevoir. Id like to mount it on the firewall like the unlimited's but they had more room because of no booster. Any thoughts about the booster adn what mc that hes probably running?

possibly a hydro boost set-up. I have never seen the pic, but just a guess.

If you really want to know, Dan from BTF is on this board. Or you could ask him over on his board at the BTF website.

Thats a hell of a studder! :flipoff2:

I dont run manual brakes on my Jeep, but I cant imagine doing so! The discs have it hard enough slowing me down with the gear reduction.

Okay, i'll be the first to say it. Why is it so cool? Take a brand new jeep, change EVERYTHING out to make it a cool rockcrawler, that's what happens when ya drop yer rig off at a great 4x4 shop and write a check. Honestly why not take a stolen / repo jeep TJ and do all that, stretch it and have the same thing at the end of the day for like, 1/16th the price.
I guess the desire to be first is expensive.
And before someone flames me for not being progressive, Ja i am jealous it wasn't mine:flipoff2:

in the rock mafia's case it would have been better for him to buy an unlimited tub and go from there, but when i started on mine I had no intentions of tearing it down and putting 42's under it with 1 tons, i thought that 35's and a lift would be all thet i ever could want, but i changed that into something else, and that into something else, and now into something else........But ive had mine for awhile...........
