Nice stuff, Joe. I have yet to see a cross-drilled rotor that didn't crack though.

hopefully that doesn't happen since I voided the warranty having the centers machined to fit over the shafts and having them drilled for 5 on 5.5

I've always worried about getting small rocks and the like stuck in there while off roading. But man those look pretty. Which axle are those going in?

Heh, yeah that pretty much kills the warranty. :yelclap:

Those are XJ Dana 44 shafts.

If something ends up happening I'll just get some stock rotors and have them machined.

I wouldn't worry anyway. They always seem to skate out of the warranty saying something about 'overheating'. Funny, I thought the slots and drilling were to help with that. :shhh:

Meh The cost was maybe $10 more total than getting stock rotors because they came with ceramic pads.

Not bad.

Those calipers look identical to 8.8 ones. Night and day difference when I switched.

How are you going to go about doing the e-brake?

I'll probably loop and bolt a stock cable. My Parking brake hasn't worked in over a year anyway.

TORX · Apr 6, 2009

Let me know if you get it to work. The e-brake was always a mystery when I was looking at doing a disc conversion.

WaXJ_Skier · Apr 6, 2009

I wouldn't worry about it, All you have to get the E-brake cable to do is pull a leaver. The rest is pretty easy the backing plates have the same BP as an XJ D44 you just have to enlarge them to 3/8"
