    @81Trekker, feel free to correct me. It looks like it comes with wilwood brakes though.

    The Jdfab rear comes with all you need minus the 3rd member. I got my 3rd from quick performance…just under $1500 shipped. Someone already linked my install page. It’s totally worth every penny.

    after test fitting my brackets this morning it looks like i'm gonna have to design a spacer to space the caliper out 3/8 of an inch which will help to get the bracket back from the end of the spindle snout.

    Based on where he lives, he better have a plan for wipers. Not only is he in the PNW he is in one of the wettest parts of it.

    All I know is looking at mine keeping the factory wiper trans is not gonna happen running tubes through the cowl. I know I’m not giving mine up. We get monsoon type rain here lol.

    I think I can modify the factory linkage to keep that working but then gotta either remount the factory motor or mount an aftermarket motor in somehow.

    that's what Rain-X is for:)

    there are a ton of aftermarket setups that you could run that are pretty low profile if you needed to go for a single blade system.
