Wow! Neat stuff, Bill.

zmotorsports said:I've installed several of the Teraflex Big Brake kits for people and they have been happy with them as well as Dynatrac's brake system. I'm running the Teraflex on my 2011 JKUR and my son is running the same Teraflex on his 2004 WJ in which he has JK Dana 44 axles under. Both stop on a dime and greatly increase the confidence in stopping. If you are on 35's they make a big difference and almost mandatory if on 37's.

zmotorsports said:I'm using a NP241J with an Advance Adapters input get to go from the small 23-spline Chrysler output to the larger 32-spline of the 6L80 trans. I'm not a huge fan of the Atlas gear driven transfer cases for a daily driver. I prefer the chain driven ones for low friction and quiet operation yet durable enough to handle the power output.
The NP241J will easily hold up to 500 HP and I know of several with more than that. I'm not worried about any component in this combination or build. I'm building it for longevity, durability and drivability so I think all of my i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

It has a Roadmaster base plate with receiver slots already installed. I thought that was a big plus. The crossbar I have from by Ford Edge isn't the same width. It's like 2 inches wider. I'm assuming I will have to buy a new crossbar at the proper width? I looked at mine and it doesn't look like the width can be adjusted? me did give me his towbar set up, but it's a Stowmaster and I don't like it as well as the Falcon All-Terrain model I have already. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve
