    Brake Upgrade?

    My factory booster crapped out on me so I'm looking at doing a yj booster/cylinder upgrade from my cj w/ "power" brakes. Is it worth doing, or should I put my time and money into something else? I've never driven a yj so I dont have a clue.

    i've got a yj booster and master cylinder on mine and i can lock the 35s up, which i couldn't do before with my manual stock brakes. it was a pretty straight forward install, bend the lines from the drivers side to passanger side, buy two adapters at napa, and bolt it up.

    I found one for 100 bucks. Does this sound like a good price for a one pulled out of a junker? It has the bracket, booster, and cylinder.

    i don't think so, i got mine for $50 and had to replace the master because the one they pulled was bad. So i think that was another $50. keep looking you can find one cheaper, i got mone on ebay.heres one for $20.
