We all live in a yellow submarine. Those last two Libertys look like something even the Pimp My Ride crew would go WTF? over.

Blasphemy!! How can he do that to a CRD!!

 

[offrovering]

those are some of the ugliest things I have ever seen

If you get them changed let me know. I will probably have to change my rotors and brakes in about 5-8k. And dealer will probably the last place I will go. They messed up my brakes real good last time. I wouldn't mind getting some nice black calipers, nicer (more difficult to warp) rotors. I think mines are warped for the second time in 47k miles.

Try PowerSlot rotors,I haven't warped mine in over 40,000 miles and I have 1500lbs more to stop.The PowerSlots will not chew up your pads either,I have about 90% pad left on my pads(Napa Ceramic's,put on with the PowerSlots),no brake dust either.You can get the Cyro frozen PowerSlots also which are even better then the regular PowerSlots.They cost about a $100 each rotor,well worth it and they don't rust up either,mine look brand new still after 40,000 miles and 3 years of use.

You can also buy caliper paint,real easy to do and looks good and does last.

tj thanks. Where do I buy those, once they are giving me unbearable shaking I will replace them.

Do you have any problems with mud getting caked into the holes and slots??

I would recommend changing them soon. And what is the deal with the painted calipers??

I for one happen to be a fan of the painted calipers. Thinking of painting mine yellow.

As for the rotors, I agree with the other poster, looks suspciously like someone drilled their own rotors. There has been a lot of ink spilled with "drilled" and slotted rotors and the most professional opinion is that drilled rotors (holes) don't do much where as slotted rotors arguably achieve some improvement over flat rotors. They clean the pads, help bleed off the gas that builds up etc.

Also, self drilling rotors is considered a very bad idea. It weakens the rotor and makes it prone to cracking. At least manufactured rotors (with holes) are (supposedly) spec'd so that the holes don't cause any structural weakness. But just pulling out Dad's drill and slapping some holes in them is considered a Bad Idea(tm).[-X

What size wheels are those and what style?

Looks like the helm of an old whaling ship. Can you say "Ahoy Matey"?

It all depends on your usage. Most drilled rotors are exactly that, drilled. They start with a blank and drill holes for cooling, weakening the rotor considerably. The proper way to do it is to cast the rotor with the holes but the production cost is pretty high vs. drilling a blank. Slotted rotors are beneficial since you'll get some of the benefits of drilled rotors without risking rotor strength. Lots of pro/semi-pro racers run drilled rotors but they replace them every 1-2 races. Also, a good amount of high-end sports cars come stock with drilled rotors so I don't think they're totally "useless"...

Can you say "Crikey mate, what's that sting ray doing. Ah crap, my chest!!!!!"

I can say those rims are not 17x9,you would have never gotten 235's mounted on a 9" rim with 65 series sidewalls,plus they would stick out alot farther then they do in the pic and you'd need a lift to run a 9" rim anyway,even with 5.5" of BS.

Thats what i thought also. But did some research on American racing rebel wheels over the net and all i see is 17x9, 18x9, etc. all are by 9. And my wheels sticks out compared to the rest of the KJ's that i see on the streets.

Off topic I know.
But in the Classic Mini fraternity it is very normal to run 175-50-13's on both 7inch and 8 inch wide by 13 inch. The recomended maximum rim width is 6 inch!
Can you say pain in the *** to mount? Yet people still go for it as they think it looks cool... Never mind the fact that the ride quality ***** and that under very hard cornering the wheel and tire like to separate.

.

I am too. Nothing looks worse than a old rusted caliper when you have nice rims. I painted mine black awhile back using the dupli-color kit.

I would really like to have them power coated!

I had my liberty serviced today for ******, t-case, diff & spark plug changed. When they lifted it I checked my rear shocks I have Rancho. Is it good?
