My next upgrade is the full Big Brake Kit from Brute Force. Triple pistons instead of 2, and 33% more pad contact patch, higher pressure/volume master cylinder.

Of course, Rocky can't just "be normal", and had to put about 2 hours into each caliper buffing off casting marks and radiusing all corners. Covered with VHT caliper paint, then clear coated.

Turned out not too shabby for a rock crawling off road machine.

Yes I'm an Anally Retentive Engineer who loves to "Dare to be Different".

Retched Excess is a Good Place to Start is my motto.

Of Course getting ones' KRX build published as the Centerfold Featured SxS of the month in Dirt Wheels would be quite the feather in ones' Cap. After Recognition and being Appreciated by the Editors of Dirt Wheels / UTV Action monthly magazine, I Humbly present the April of 2023 issue where I was Awarded this opportunity to illustrate and present my machine build to be shown to readers nation/world wide,

FEATURED Machine Centerfold 4 page Color Spread using photos and Text that I authored.

Humbly, how friggin' cool is this!!!!! Even the Editors called it "A Well-Sorted Ride"........

Major Feather in my Cap, right up there with getting my own Engineering Patent at Boeing..

its a nice stock machine with accessories - should serve most fine - but for true climbing I want to see S3 high clearance arms - beefed up radius rods - possibly long arm for off camber stuff - its nice but its mostly a stock machine with accessories- if you dont care "what others think" then why make a post about your machine telling others to pay attention to detail ?- they most likely could care less what you think of their machine as well..........I broke the weld on those oem kickers in 6 months at sand hollow - I dont see anything thats truly "built".......

The all in one kit is what caught my eye


but it’s probably less $ to buy the calipers and MC separately. I’ll probably wear out the pads, then look into the upgrade.

Thanks for the straightforward feedback!
