Not putting the brakes on...yet

I mean, I'm working towards putting the brakes on, however there are building blocks to get there. 


I spent the Canada Day long weekend working on the m38. I replaced all the wheel studs (well, all except the one that I was shorted), rebuilt the front hubs with fresh bearings, and ran the new brake lines along the axles.

Next up on the list is the new master cylinder and the front and rear brake lines.
 
The order is in with the remainder of the parts needed. Calipers, pads, rotors, etc. shortly after those are in my grubby little hands the Jeep is going to have brakes. 

To be clear this will mean it has a running engine and [will have] working brakes. My driveway is about 50' long, and I sense I may be taking my first 100' road trip before the end of summer. 
 
Front axle lines installed, the kit from Omix-Ada is a pretty accurate fit

The back lines are much like the front. We'll call it a solid "good enough for this guy" fit.

The new Master Cylider is on the bench, waiting.
