How about "or something"?  You don't like gold, get a rattle-can, and fix it.  Color is the last thing I'm worried about on my rig (look at my mirrors).

I thought you were trying to match Wilds door

I just wish they had the newer "5 on 5.5" wheel flange on the end.

I'm going to go to a disc in the rear and I don't think the four bolt will work.

Can anyone ask Steve about that?  Or are they just using the Sami picture?

As of a couple of months ago they were going with the old axle style. I had asked him about these and he said I would need the older drums for them to work. I dont know if you could make them work with discs.

Think about the axle lengths. That picture is of Sidekick axles... I've spoke with Steve about the 5 bolt flange vs. the 4 bolt and unless a miracle occurs, it's 4 bolt. Never fear though, to run disc brakes all you have to do is make a 4 bolt to 5 on 5.5 adapter disc just like what is done on the Samurai.

oh well i see Hondas riding around with white, black, blue mirrors all the time.  i thought it went faster that way.  i mean just look at wilds rig, its all kinds of colors and wicked fast.  by the way have you droped a new trubo on that thing yet?

Not yet, I'm in the middle of a T-case and Diff gears swap
I do have to get down the the wrecking yard and get some
parts tho, I'll pick one up then.

Next year my Kick will be one color, except for the flames
if I get them done.

I don't see the need, Eric.  I mean, I hardly use my brakes, so why do I need disks in the rear?  Not to mention losing the e-brake.  In fact, I use the e-brake more than I use the brake pedal, when I'm wheeling.

Oh, wait a minute - some of you guys have automatic transmissions...  Brake-eaters...

I have a manual and the 4.24:1 gear set.

Here in Michigan the land of mud.  In a good year I'll go through 2 sets of rear shoes.  My front discs last about 1 1/2 to 2 years.  The next set need a set of drums, soo...

Also, the disc's would help for high speed stoping.  You know like when you get it up to 55 -56 mph

Didn't think of that.  

Thanks

Man, that's bizarre!  I changed my front pads at 130,000 miles because I was BORED.  Could our driving styles be that different?  In the 21 mile daily drive I make from elevation 9,000 feet down to elevation 5,300 feet, I typically do not even touch the brakes ONCE.

I didn't say there was a need. For me, rear disc brakes are more of a want than a need. I upgraded to the larger 4 door drums in the rear and have good stopping power. In the future, I'm going to upgrade the master cylinder, front rotors, and calipers to 4door and probably call it good...

Must be the red mirrors!

Or you could always call OTT and ask for their full floater conversion kit.
*grin*

 Yeah, that way, you get the MUCH stronger shafts with the rear discs and don't have to worry about the 4 bolt setup, only the 6 bolt stuff. Not sure, but I think the strength is in the numbers. Also, the bearings...... Ned I say more?
HEHE!!!
