What is your favorite kind of truck????

I like the big brown one when it is brining parts to my door.

I got my vented brake rotor kit.  It looks like it will be a good one.  my only concern is replacing the rotors in the future.  I guess since my car will only be a summer time car I will probably not ever have to replace the rotors, as long as I have them resurfaced before I get to the point where they are to thin.


If it isn't broken..... modify it anyway!!!!

It is a Jag IFS!  We need more pictures of Jag suspension swaps.  It is really easy to post pictures now on the new forum.

Re: What is your favorite kind of truck????

what are you going to do with the Jag front end??  There is a good article on the HAMB that shows both a Jag IRS and IFS going in an old  Buick.  here are some of the pix from it.

Re: What is your favorite kind of truck????

This install in the Buick is really well done and demonstrates the strength of the Jag suspension. 

I decided to go with a M2 front suspension from RC Motorsports in my '65 Mustang project.  It really opens up the engine compartment as you can see in this picture I borrowed from the RC Motorsports web site.

Daze  please, where did these rotors come from and do the fit on the salsbury diff 4 bolt flanges?  for a custom inboard brake setup--are the the same thickness in the bolt area as the stock  jag solid rotors? in other word  no playing around  with spacers to get camber correct?

Sorry I never got this answered.  I ment to go back and answer it but then I forgot and the new post reminded me.  I got them for Xjs unliminited but I sent them back becaue I was not impressed with the quality of the parts, especially for the price.  It was big $$.

Here's the best one for the Jag IFS. It has many installs and tons of info including my install into my 46' Harvester and detailed photos of how I airbagged the IFS as well.
