Our JK’s bone stock brakes were perfectly serviceable on the road, quiet and soft with a little more pedal travel than expected. After our first off-road adventure courtesy of Dan Fresh and the OC Motorsports Trail Team I figured we were going to need a brake upgrade since much of my brief trail ride experience revolved around slow speed braking and balancing power-on against the brakes. When we talked with our friends at Power Stop<\/a> we learned that they offered a JK two axle kit with their heavy duty Z36 formula pads and a sharp looking slotted and cross drilled rotor upgrade. The Power Stop slogan “one click brake kit” is really true-as you can see here they make a complete brake job very easy with all of the components required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Jeep<\/a> on a lift and the wheels off you can see this is a basic install. Daniel at OC Motorsports was assigned to our install and he has more than 6 years of experience specializing in Jeeps so our install is in good hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at the rear of the Jeep Daniel removes the caliper sliding bolts and caliper bracket to access the rotor, which comes right off the hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
