Would like to upgrade rear drums to discs on 98 TJ

Post by Mudman&Crawler »

As the subject title describes.....

Any advice much apreciated :D

Have looked at the conversion that still keeps the E brake as Drum :cry: Not happy with that solution....

This sight might help you get started. However its for an XJ. I have this conversion on my XJ (D35 axle) and works well. May need to search the net more for further info (try the US sites) or improvise for the TJ.
