Hey Guys and gals,  Scout and I had a great day, Pika (our Jeep) performed well but alas did not make it home without help.  A few mile on 515S caused the front driver wheel to overheat and smoke, I suspect a dragging brake, possible due to a rock or something from the mountain lodged in there somewhere.  We decided it best to just have it towed home (just outside Blue Ridge) to prevent too much damage.

If it is a caliper, and you are ok with a used one, I have one you can have.  I live in Cobb County and work in Dunwoody.

EDIT:  The same thing happened to mine about 10 years ago.  Replacing the caliper fixed the issue.  I did both of mine at that time since I hate bleeding brakes and figured it would happen to the other side at some point.

I went through a stretch where mine felt like they did this for a while. Must have had some junk in the line... I have 2-3 spares if you're out my way.

Same here. Seems like my my old TJ would have a caliper issue about every other ride. I found my caliper slides needed grease more than normal. It was weird.

I also have a set of calipers from a '06 TJ you can have. The guy installed a big brake kit & gave me his old ones. I live in Murrayville.

Eric and I had a great time today. Thanks to Ben and Danny and all the guys in Ben's group today. Eric took some great pictures and video and I'll get them posted up in the next couple of days.  Thanks to the GATR team for organizing the event.
