    Thanks! I did krylon desert tan. Once I get a bit of money to get an actual nice paint job ill prob end up changing the color even though I love this color. I go back and forth on reprinting but I think it will be better to get nice durable paint on the cj.

    With my build, I'm considering getting a gallon of desert tan and spraying it over epoxy primer. I figure that will give me a good base if I decide to change the color one day. Either that or I'll just go with a single stage from the beginning. Haven't quite decided.

    ^I wish I would have gone with the epoxy primer... Now I have to sand it down again if I ever decide to paint it.

    There going to be louder out the side. May want to run your pipes out the back of the Jeep. Helps a lot on noise.

    I might not run them then... I think the turbos that are on the jeep are loud, can't imagine having a louder exhaust.

    Thanks for the support. I'm going to read the manual and go over it tonight. I hope it's as simple as I think it is(just had cleaned up the wiring and rewired some of the wiring about 3 months ago).

    Note - if you have not done one before and have a working setup, take pics first and write some notes as to what goes where.

    The seats turned out great. I saw some (may have been those) on Sac craigslist a while back. Now I want some too.

    Still a ways to go but super excited about my recent purchase. I got a deal yesterday that just couldn't pass up! A guy sold me a set of of 33's with wheels wand tires about 80% thread left for $150!!! Didn't want to go with 33's but I think it looks pretty cool.

    Ok, I'm getting ready to hopefully do a disc brake conversion this weekend. I have a list of parts I need but down to one thing I'm sorta confused about... Do I have to replace master cilinder when doing this upgrade?

    :)I am assuming on this 69 CJ your doing the front or rear or both? and also assuming that you still have the stock frame mounted floor pedal Master Cylinder?

    If so yes you need a newer dual chamber Master cylinder and a Proportioning valve with the proper residual valves......
