Jeep TJ and YJ Wranglers are currently two of the hottest rigs for modification. They are cheaper than JK Wranglers, more common than CJs, and can be outfitted with tons of accessories. However when you add the weight of bigger off-road tires, beadlock wheels, and winch bumpers, they certainly don't stop that well. And then when you hot-rod them up with a V-8 you're just looking at a fender-bender waiting to happen.

Luckily the mad minds at American Expedition Vehicles have a new big brake kit for TJs and YJs that will have you pulling the reins on your rig much quicker than ever before. Plus the installation is so easy we had our test rig outfitted in a long evening after work and were doing brake tests before bedtime.
