I have a set of cross-drilled rotors for my 98 xj that have maybe 500 miles on them, prob. not even that. So, they are basically brand new. The only reason I'm thinking of selling them is because I have a bad unit bearing and have a tj axle lying around I am thinking of taking the bearing from, but I have to use the tj rotors if I do that.

They cost about $100 for the pair new. They have a gold-cadmium coating too for corrosion protection.

I'd be looking at getting pretty close to that price since they are basically new. Make me an offer, though.

Here's a couple pics of them installed:

They sound like a pretty good set of rotors. Unfortunately, those double my rotor budget.

Yours is a 2wd right? I might have what you need on an '89. They have gotten surface rust but I'll check them out.

Yeah, 2wd. Are the brakes different for 4WD? I would have figured they were the same.

Let me know, thanks!

Is the rotor separte from the hub? Seems like the '89 looks like the hub/lugs/rotor are all one piece? The one in my backyard looks different than the ones on my DD.

To be honest, I have no clue. I haven't even taken the wheels off the MJ yet.

no problem, just thought I'd toss it out there.

When I had to replace a front rotor when my XJ was 2wd the hub and rotor are all together. If the MJ's just the same front axle then that is what you are most likely looking at.

Yup, that's how my MJ is.

Alpha... I have brand new rotors and pads sitting under my MJ, maybe 2 miles on them. I'll sell em to you if you can send me your old ones so that the MJ isn't sitting on jackstands and I can move it around the driveway if needed. I'm throwing the d30 from the XJ in as soon as that is out, so I don't need new 2wd brakes.

Yeah, I think that might could be worked out. How much?

D35 or 8.25?

Looks like I've secured front rotors and pads.

Rear is D35. Sorry, should have mentioned.

Dang. Got some 8.25's here.

Ah bummer. Did they even make 8.25 in 1988?
