I got my rear axle converted to disks. I did the homebuilt deal. Really happy how they turned out.

So you just throw out the "converted my rear brakes to disc" with a couple of teaser pics and no writeup! Not cool! Not cool at all!

Alright I should have guessed that was coming. I will post up the blueprint for the bracket when I get home. Just flat 3/8 plat is all its made from. Then cut the center out of old drum backing plates.
Suzuki samurai rotors and 84 nissan 300zx semi loaded calipers. Just bolt it together. Ebay calipers $90 per side and ebay suzuki rotors $30 for the pair pads were $25 from napa. I figure I will have $300 with bolts and brake lines. Oh and I had $50 on ebay for an adjustable proportioning valve.

You are going to have to get some dirt, mud, heck even dust on that CJ soon! It is looking WAY TOO CLEAN at the moment.

But you have done amazing work on this project.
