The Jeep Wrangler is a compact and mid-size (Wrangler Unlimited models) four-wheel drive off-road vehicle manufactured by Jeep, currently in its third generation. Anyone using brake line locks? Very common product for drag racers. But they only want the brakes to hold for a few seconds. Most of the brands don't. View and Download Jeep 2001 Wrangler TJ parts catalog online.

Hi all Just wondering if anyone had recommendations for a front brake upgrade? New slotted rotors? Master cylinder?

All of the above? Thanks Your brake upgrade will depend on your budget. If you are on 33's or smaller and not an Unlimited, you can benefit very well from our Black Magic Brake pads and Centric Premium rotors. About the best bang for the buck. If you run 35's, they will still work very well for you, but you really do need to upgrade to one of the Vanco Kits.

You won't seen any improvement with a master cylinder swap of any kind until you increase the bore size in your front calipers a fair bit more than stock. Slotted rotors won't do much for you and if you get a good quality, they sure won't do enough to justify the expense. X2, Blaine at Black Magic Brakes knows more about Jeep brakes than probably any other man alive. Forget gimmicks like cross-drilled, dimpled, or slotted rotors and concentrate on either the pads themselves like what Black Magic Brakes sells, or going with a good dual-piston caliper like VANCO makes to replace the wimpy single-piston caliper that comes from the factory. I'm running Black Magic pads on my heavy 04 Rubicon with 35' tires and they are, absolutely, the best stopping pad you can get for your Jeep, bar none. They will make a VERY noticeable improvement in your braking performance that could only be improved upon by also going with the dual piston Big Brake kit from VANCO like I had on my previous TJ. I concur, Vanco, hydroboost, or black magic pads.

Or all 3, if your rich enough. I did that kit for Gerald on one of his rigs. The 17' Vanco Kit with EBC yellows in the Ram calipers and hydroboost.

Amazingly good brakes and contrary to what anyone would have you believe, the pedal feel and modulation was near perfection without the tiniest bit of touchiness. Here's a quote from a buddy who owns a WK and a TJ that I just finished upgrading the brakes on. Excuse the text speak and please note that the WK is on stock tires and the TJ is on 35's.

It's unbelievable that the TJ stops better than the Grand Cherokee. Just swapped cars. I can't believe it. Man, I took the Grand out because we are going to the river, and gotta tow the boat.

I cant believe the TJ handles and brakes better than the Wk. I was used to gently applying pressure to atop the TJ, and it felt like I has to press extra hard to stop the Wk.

It was always the other way around. Download Opera Mini 5 Sis S60v3 here. I'm blown away. Up in Big Bear, the TJ handled the corners like a sports car.

Never did it squeal, do anything stupid (feel out of control). I love driving her. Finally it's a joy, instead of a mission and my reply- I do brakes.

I am the Brake Wizard. Agape International Choir Music Downloads. Would you like your Grand to stop better? He's bringing it next week to get fitted up with Black Magic Brake pads and Centric Premium rotors. Listen to Blaine, he knows what he's talking about. After upgrading to 33s, braking was pretty weak with whatever cheap pads the previous owner put on; with BlackMagic pads and Centric rotors its like a whole new Jeep. I can easily lock up my 33s, even at speeds around 55-60 MPH; I can thank the deer in this area for helping me test that out. The first week after I had put the new pads and rotors on a deer jumped out in front of me and I just pressed on the break a little harder than normal and they already started to lock up; it truly startled me.

They're a great bang for your buck as well; checkout your local pricing on quality brakes/rotors and then checkout a set from blackmagicbrakes.com. I can only imagine how well the Vanco kit works; once I'm closer to needing new tires, I'm hoping to be ready for 35s and then I'll be getting the Vanco kit with Black Magic Brakes.

Can't go wrong with that setup. Black Magic Breaks and Centric Rotors can make a very big difference, I would probably start there depending on your budget. The best solution would be the Vanco Big Brake upgrade, which can be bought here (). The Black Magic Brakes should make a considerable difference, but as to how much I can't say for sure since I only have 33s at the moment. You can search for other's experiences to see how they've managed with 35s and the BMBs (JeepForum is probably a better place for that). When I upgrade to 35s, I'm making the Vanco kit part of my upgrade path.
