The safety devices rack on my D1 looks quite well done.

Sweet, I missing being in Colorado, my D1 would blast though the old narrow gauge railroad grades, some cuts were 4' deep, lock up and run right through, my worry now is the brakes, think I need new master & calipers, disks & pads to get it feeling really safe again, in low 4 it will just keep moving.

SD racks are near $2,000+ if purchased new.

I can't say too much about the install as it was done before I bought it. It still uses the stock two door base that has cracked in a few places requiring me to weld, Ill do that once it warms up a bit. Id rather have the stock nonpower seats if I'm honest.

Finally had time to get my master cylinder rebuilt, brakes bleed last night. Then today got my caster corrected radius arms and rear cranked lower arms in. Alignment and state inspection done also.

I have had issues driving in traffic to Seattle a couple hours and the brake pedal gets spongy, lucky the ebrake is on the drive shaft and would stop me to give the brakes some rest, also driving down Pikes Peak in Colorado totally lost brakes, then it was the brake fluid absorbing water from being here in the PNW.
I am guessing it's the master that needs to be replaced, what symptoms did you have that you replaced it?
Thanks

I had fluid leaking fro the bushings under the tank. The back bushing is a right ankle one and a small tube is inside it. When I removed it the tube broke so at that point I just changed it all.
