Just wondering if anyone on here has done the rear drum brake to disc brake conversion?
if so where'd you get it done?
where'd you get the kit from?

Grab the rear disks etc from a ZJ (grab everything) and then order the axle retaining plate from the US for the LJ (Long wheelbase TJ with rear disk brakes), the plate doesn't cost much and then you can get the rest of the parts (pads etc) from Repco or any spares place as it is all ZJ. I was going to do this to my XJ but sold it before I did, have all the parts that I need and am passing them on to another club member (Rup) to do the conversion.

The retaining plate is the critical bit as it is spaced for disks on a D44 rear :)
