Yesterday I tried to adress the brake problem.
The booster need a change so I did that, but boy it cought me out.
Nearly ten hours of banging head with the brakes I finally did get the brakes to work. Not to my satisfaction, but at least now the brake is pridictable.
Jeeps are a little different to work on(mecahnically) as compared to the Japanese cars. So I still havent found any one good(mechanic) who really know the Jeep well.
Anyways still work needs to be done on the brakes & allinment before I get serious with the vehicle or find confidence in it.

Thanks Haris.
I am not affraid of working on the Jeep at all. But my eventual goal is to get a relativly relaible vehicle.
You are right that these vehicles need constant attention.

Looking for sugestions

Ooh this is good stuff indeed! Do let us know what was the difference after installation! I would assume that you would end up with a much firmer drive.
