@RyanWithAviators 7 лет назад

If the caliper has dual bleeder screws it definitely is able to be either a right or a left caliper. I feel like that would save on manufacturing expenses too.

@Kurnacopia Год назад

I've purchased these. They fit perfectly on the left or the right. Great quality as well.

Another vote for those welds. Beautiful. I know BleepinJeep isn't probably the right venue (or is it) but I wish you would do some welding / fab videos. Those of us that would like to up our game would love to see how you do it. I really enjoy Matt's fab ingenuity too.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

We have some fab vids and some basic welding how-to videos. Is there something specific you'd like to see? Give me a few examples and I'll give it some thought! I appreciate the input and the compliments. Thank you! - Tim

i would love to see a good video on cheap diy weld on beadlocks for steel wheels !! you have a nice mix of jeep knowledge and great looking welds, so i would love to watch really anything tim is willing to video as he custom makes it or welds onto a jeep. keep up the awesome work and great videos!

@t54760 7 лет назад

I think I've caught all of the videos from BleepinJeep. Also I've been a subscriber to Welding Tips and Tricks for years. My cc no stranger to the Weldmonger store. Love the double tig finger. Tim as far as welding suggestions go. A great tutorial for me would be to duplicate how you did any of the welds on the truss to 9" axle. Those were just one example of the works of art you call welding. Thanks again for all of the videos.

@MrMrsregor 7 лет назад

thank you for posting the "make your own rock rings or beadlocks" video ! i am guessing that i just got lucky.?. but i feel special, like you made the video for me. THANK YOU TIM !

@RobotJustice 7 лет назад

I'm enjoying these vids! That "kit" though. There's only one unique part, the mount, and if you've got the equipment to make it work then you've also fit the equipment to make it yourself out of steel plate.

@drubradley8821 7 лет назад

Is there such a thing for the alignment on the rotor to the axleshaft... "centric rings"... ???? Or maybe two centric rings in one.... meaning, one side of the ring aligns the rotor to the axle shaft, and the outer most of the ring (the other side) will align the wheel to the axle shaft???

I see a dual caliper setup in my future. I think the brackets come pre-bent now.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

Flash burn sucks. If you don't squint hard enough, it'll get you through your eye lids. I squint super hard. Nonetheless, I don't condone this act and I recommend wearing a welding helmet even when tacking. Its much better for your face... Even though I never seem to wear it until I'm welding.... Tim

@Mr.Titanium1911 5 лет назад

Brake rotor/drum must sit on the axle's center hub, not on the studs though. Did you install adapters?

@BJBTJF54 3 года назад

Would rear disc brakes from a 8.8 Explorer diff bolt on? I fitted aussie late model falcon rear discs to a '65 aussie falcon diff. Almost a bolt on conversion That system had the bendix emergency brakes built in. Cheap.

@mitchcoop1 4 года назад

we would make a fitting to put compressed air in caliper while tac welding bracket to axel tube (Wich kept everything in place realworld conditions) also we would do more tac welds than in this video to hopefully keep things aligned before releasing air. Also squirt water on caliper & mounts to keep "O" rings and caliper seals cool when doing Tac/Partial welds before disassembly and finish welds. Over kill? probably, but pad placement on rotors and caliper alignment was dead on. (This for stock car racing where brakes have to be on the money)

@charlespartak2435 3 года назад

sure you got that rotor to slip on the shaft, but your axle registers are way off the same size. how or do you plan on addressing that?

@iflytango 5 лет назад

You said ruff stuff came down and had a solution but you came up with bending the brackets. What was ruff stuffs answer?

@bleepinjeep 5 лет назад

they started manufacturing the brackets like that as well.

@dondeubler3446 3 года назад

First off , Beautiful job here it looks perfect. Question though. Was the rotor made to go on the inside rather than the outside of the axle. Pulling the studs and putting them through the rotor first may have saved time bending the brackets and lowering the height at the same time.

@WaffleCopterCO 6 лет назад

Did you have to add a spacer to the bearings on the axle shaft for this kit? I'm looking to switch from explorer brakes to this kit and need to.know...

brake rotor should have been on the other side of the axle.... inner side, then it would have fitted and brake disk would have been in place once wheel is removed. longer bolts and no issues.

@rustybrowneye 7 лет назад

i appricate the video and showing the kit and i will used this video as a reminder of what kit not to buy. i wont beat a dead horse and repeat what the others have already said below me, and i agree with them. the thing i see most trouble some is the rotor covered and renderd usless the centering ring for the wheel at the end of the axle. im sure theres a name for it but i dont know what it is. so now the studs have to carry the weight of the vehicle instead of the ring in the middle. that dosent seem to desirable when bounceing around off road. some one help me out here on the name,, if u know what im talkin about

@352poboys4x4 7 лет назад

if u read the description on ruffstuff's page, he should have put the rotor on the back side of the axle flange not the outside

@rustybrowneye 7 лет назад

Jew Bacca aaaaaaaaaaa ok,

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

There are generally two different ways wheels are centered. Hub-Centric, and Lug-Centric. Hub-Centric meaning there is an exact size hole in the center of the rim that matches the vehicle hub and achieves center by seating on the hub as you're describing, and then there is Lug-Centric, which nearly all aftermarket wheels are, which use the lug pattern of the vehicle to achieve center. If you're lug nuts are torqued down, either one is perfectly suitable for offroad, or any other conditions your vehicle will encounter. - Tim

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

I didn't want to go that route either. way too much work and that makes replacing rotors or a broken shaft on the trail a nightmare. I don't expect to have any issues with the way I set things up. Thanks - Tim

@pkuudsk9927 7 лет назад

Axle bearings now dickered ,It is a good kit if you have all the other tools .Other wise it is just 2 gm front calipers and a pre cut sort of fit bracket. The hardest part would be making the caliper bolts fit/align right otherwise. How do you get replacement parts now call ben dover.? Cheaper to make it yourself might take longer but just a couple of hours cutting up,drilling and taping a plate of steel. Using the rotor for centering the caliper you're now at the mercy of how well they were cut,some of the cheap one are FAR from drilled right. Beautiful welds and well done to make a one size fits all bracket work.

@seapeddler 6 лет назад

@garysgarage.2841 2 года назад

The one thing about this kit that bothers me is you have to bend the bracket to offset it so it sits properly on the axle. Having that metal bender is convenient but most people won't have equipment like that.

@redxj4968 7 лет назад

seems like a lot of work just to run only 33s.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

Yep! Sure is - but what the heck... I'm a believer in "over-axled" rigs. Tim

@redxj4968 7 лет назад

Definitely not a bad thing if you decide to go bigger later. I wouldn't consider myself under axled with d30/d44 and 33s, although I shouldn't go much bigger than 35s. But.. If I want to go bigger I might consider going your route so these videos should give me a idea

@biblethumpr2161 5 лет назад

The truss should have been last as a 360 degree weld to the axle tube would be strongest then weld truss to bracket would have been a bullet proof install. Install a schrader valve on caliper to keep pressure on while welding. Who's rotor and caliper are used? Dodge it looks like to me..........if you ever run into trouble a parts store is closer than 3 days away from kit supplier.

@chrisstephens6957 Год назад

@bradywilliams2666 7 лет назад

So reading the comments. Am I correct that this isn't even the correct way to use this kit, and he screwed up by bending and welding the bracket with the rotors on the front? I was wondering what was supposed to keep the rotor centered.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

Lug-Centric. The studs keep them centered. I don't anticipate any issues with the way I set these up. Thanks - Tim

@bradywilliams2666 7 лет назад

How is the stud going to keep it centered when you have a wheel in between? You show the rotor getting centered with the lugs. The lugs will not reach the rotor unless your running the shoulder style lugs that actually go into the wheel. Used on aluminum wheels. Sorry but that rotor is going to rock.

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

@bradywilliams2666 7 лет назад

I Used their 14bolt caliper bracket. It fit and worked perfect. But I bought my own rotors,calipers and lines.

@bleepinjeep 7 лет назад

I disagree. RuffStuff has some of the stoutest parts available for serious offroad applications and thousands of people run their products year after year without failure. Primarily they make "builder parts" and have countless items available in that field. To say their parts are "GARBAGE" is simply not the case. They are one of, if not the most innovative and successful companies in the industry and they didn't get there with garbage parts. I did have some trouble with this particular kit on this particular axle, setting it up this particular way, however, I contacted them with my issue and concerns and without delay they gave me new brackets that addressed the problem. I decided to go this route instead of using the replacement brackets. Tim
