I like the idea talked about burnsville.com using the steering set-up from a WJ to use on TJ to solve my never ending drag-link issues, but I don't want to change rotors, bearings or calipers (Most of that stuff is to new on my TJ.

Will TJ calipers/Bearings rotors mount on the WJ knuckles?...

Or should I head to the Junkyard (120 miles away) to look around?

Rereading their info...

They provide hub spacers, and redrill the WJ rotors... so you would use the TJ bearings, stock TJ rotors probably will work.

What about the calipers, Same mount or ???

Are they using the stock WJ tie rod and Drag link on the TJ? I think this whole set-up could be done for alot less than :eek: $2000 that they are quoting.

Anyone know of WJ in the yards in Colorado????

Talked to Rockstomper...today matter of fact:flipoff2:

They are getting away from that because of the clearance/track bar/bumpsteer problems...

This is what the recommended....
