    J8 Master Cylinder Failure - Better Alternatives?

    My Crown J8 master cylinder failed and started bypassing after less than 1000 miles. It was power bled and had no air in the system. I have 05 up F250 front and 14 bolt rear axles and the 1 1/8" J8 MC is really too small anyways. Has anyone found a 1.25" or 1.3" MC that will bolt to the J8...

    JKU on Tons

    I am new to this forum and this is my first Jeep build. I have a few of my builds on Pirate under the same user name such as a Cummins powered K30, Ford F750, and a buggy build from a Wide Open Design chassis. It is a wrecked 09 JKU that I am building for daily driver duties and maybe haul it...
