Disc Brake Conversion

[RP1]

I just bought my first jeep, 82 CJ7 .
I am interested in converting the front drum to disc but need to know the simplist way to do this. Can I use stock parts? what years can I use?
Thanks

You have drums in 82? Well 86 is the last year. find a CJ front end with disc brakes or try 4wd.com

78-86 front rotor
76 had a differnt rotor.
The last drum brakes listed for a Dana 30 in the front list 1976

Someone swaped out your axles!

The PO really did you wrong.

what does that mean?

It means the PO took his discs and left him drums. IMO not a good thing.

Yeah I know that's he did that what a dirt bag.

Thanks for the support guys, but i finally looked under it and " SHAZAMM" there were the rotors! I never looked under it before I bought it( too many weeds) and had someone else tow it to the shop and the guy towing it said it had drums.
I feel better now. Now I can focus on the seats,motor,and the bookstore.

Thanks
